The purpose of this study was providing implications in teaching and learning activities to vitalize mathematical communication and to raise positive attitudes about mathematics. We analyzed mathematical communication, disposition and attitudes of the students who had lower mathematical achievement rather than that of Korean language in class using reading materials and strategies. We found that teaching-learning activities using the reading materials and strategies let the low achievers in mathematics communicate more about mathematical notions and problem-solving process actively. The activities triggered interests and attention of mathematics and self-study. In addition, the lessons with reading materials and strategies aroused confidence, will and responsibility to mathematics learning to the students. They made the learners notice mathematics' values and roles and gave the opportunity of reflection about students' learning processes. As a result, the teaching-learning using reading materials and strategies should be developed and accomplished actively in classroom to turn mathematical inclination and attitudes of the students who had had negative inclination and attitudes to mathematics into those of positive and to vitalize mathematical communication to the lower achievers in mathematics.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of teacher on fourth-grade students' attitudes toward mathematics using data from TIMSS 2011. Students' attitudes toward mathematics included interest in learning mathematics, interest in mathematics lessons, and confidence in their mathematics ability. Teacher factors included mathematics professional development, confidence in teaching mathematics, teacher-centered mathematics instruction, and enhancing student mathematical thinking. The two level Hierarchical Linear Model was employed to analyze the relationship between teacher factors and student attitudes. Results showed that teacher-centered mathematics instruction significantly and positively predicted students' confidence about their mathematics ability. The findings suggest that school systems and mathematics educators need to provide teachers with the curriculum, assessment, and research-based practices and knowledge to overcome the obstacles to change their mathematics classroom.

Problem-centered learning reflects learning strategy based on constructivism. In this learning, students should find the solution in a small group discussion, and share their solutions with classmates in whole class discussion. So students participate in mathematics instruction actively and interact with other students about the strategies. We expect students would change their attitudes on mathematics and mathematical learning in these processes. In this study, we analyzed students' attitudes on mathematics and mathematical learning when they participated the problem-centered learning program. We found the change of students' attitudes to mathematics via problem-centered learning.

영재 교육에서 우선되는 영재의 선발에서 교육에 이르기까지 영재의 지적 특성과 함께 비지적 특성도 고려해야 한다는 주장들이 많다. 최근 학습자의 정의적 특성 가운에 관심을 모으고 있는 것이 교과에 대한 태도와 자기 효능감이다. 이 연구에서는 이들 정의적 영역에서 보이는 수학영재 아동의 특성을 일반아동의 것과 비교해 본다. 그리고 일반 아동을 급지별로 분류하여 급지간 특성 및 영재 집단과의 차이도 알아보면서 성차에 대한 통계적 분석도 병행했다. 일원변량 분석 결과에 의하면 교과에 대한 태도와 자기효능 감에서 남학생들은 급지간 및 집단 간의 차가 뚜렷하였으나 여학생들은 그렇지 못하였다. 특히 여학생의 경우 자기효능 감에서 영재집단과 경합급지 사이에는 유의한 차가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is focused on vocational high school students who feel hardly interested in mathematics and are considered to have very limited basic scholastic ability. It analyzes the data obtained by applying the material, extracted from the Internet and literature to school classes from March to July, for the purposes of improving the degree of scholastic achievement on the basis of the fact that interest induced learning materials were developed and applied to the students to bring about their motivation resulting in a positive change in understanding and attitudes to mathematics. According to the result of the analysis, the level of students' scholastic ability of both the comparative class and the experimental class were too low to become interested in mathematics. However, the experimental class students seemed to feel familiar to the learning materials rather than reluctant, and it appeared that their interest and behavior of learning began to change gradually in an extent. In addition to that, as an aspect of scholastic achievement there was not considerable difference between the two classes, but as time went, some valuable changes were found. Unfortunately, the size of group of the research was small and the period of the experimental classes was not extensively long, and therefore the same result might not occur in other groups. However, it is believed that in class-time, educating students by putting in learning materials bringing about relevant motivation to the class, will lead them to become interested in mathematics, and change their attitudes and understanding of mathematics. After all, scholastic achievement will be effective.

IEA's Third International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS) from 1994-1995 has placed Korea as one of the top three countries among 45 countries that participated in the study in mathematics achievement for the 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th grade students. While the test scores were excellent, the study also showed that mathematics education in Korea needed improvements in student attitudes, technology incorporation, and gender difference in achievement. An analysis of the a survey conducted as part of the mathematics curriculum research program showed that very little progress has been made in these areas for the past 5 years. Moreover, the progressively declining attitudes towards mathematics for high school students is a problematic phenomena for educators as we believe that mathematics is becoming even more important in an information technology based society. A comparison between the top three TIMSS scoring countries (Korea, Singapore, and Japan) and low scored country (U.S.) was made In this paper. We also compare some of problematic results from TIMSS to those from EERI Curriculum Study implemented in 2000. The study shows that simply using technology and improving student attitudes do not necessarily guarantee improved performance. Most of educators agree that potential for technology is great for both changing the way students learn and improving the attitudes of students. However, improperly implemented technology can hinder rather than help the educational process. Therefore, as we begin to implement and use more and moore technology, it is critical to develop the proper curriculum, training for teachers and research programs to track the progress and to make the necessary adjustments to provide the best possible education for our students. Another TIMSS result shows for all four grade levels(3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th), Korea shows the highest gender difference among all the participating countries. TIMSS data such as this is valuable to benchmark all types of information to get a better understanding about what is happening for improvements in math curriculum in Korea. More research needs to be done in comparing the performance of Korean mathematics education to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of our curriculum so that improvements can be made.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using graphing calculators on students' understanding of the linear and quadratic function concepts. The populators of this study are tenth graders at high school in Seoul, one class for the treatment group and another class for the comparison group, and experiment period is 14 weeks including two weeks for school regular exams.Function tests used in the study was proposed which described a conceptual knowledge of functions in terms of the following components: a) Conceptual understanding, b) Interpreting a function in terms of a verbal experission, c) Translating between different representations of functions, and d) Mathematical modeling a real-world situation using functions. Even though the group test means of the individual components of conceptual understanding, interpreting, translating, mathematical modeling did not differ significantly, there is evidence that the two groups differed in their performance on conceptual understanding. It was shown that students learned algebra using graphing calculators view graphs more globally. The attitude survey assessed students' attitudes and perceptions about the value of mathematics, the usefulness of graphs in mathematics, mathematical confidence, mathematics anxiety, and their feelings about calculators. The overall t-test was not statistically significant, but the students in the treatment group showed significantly different levels of anxiety toward mathematics.

모든 학생의 전인적 성장을 지원할 수 있는 수학 교사들의 능력을 신장시키기 위하여, 본 연구는 교육 형평성의 관점에 기반을 둔 교사 교육을 읍면지역에 위치한 고등학교에 재직 중인 세 명의 수학교사를 대상으로 실행하였다. 학생들이 수업시간에 자신의 수학적 아이디어를 공유하고 토론하는 기회를 제공하는 것이 교육 형평성을 실현하는 가장 근본적인 방법인데, 이를 위해서는 상당한 양과 질의 지식과 판단력이 필요하다. 이러한 교사 교육을 두 해 동안 받은 교사들이 가르치는 수학 수업을 받은 고등학생들을 대상으로 사전 사후 설문조사를 시행하였고, 학생들의 수학 교과에 대한 정의적 특성이 인상적으로 성장하였음을 본 연구는 보고한다. 그러한 변화는 수학 교실에서 상당히 자유로운 의사소통과 관련이 있었다. 학생들의 수학과에 대한 정의적 영역의 신장을 위해 교육 형평성에 기반을 둔 수학 교사 교육의 장기간 실행에 논의한다.

수학 능력을 평가하는 국제적인 시험 평가에서 우리나라 학생들의 수학 성적은 상위권에 속해 있으나, 수학 교과에 대한 선호도 및 자신감과 같은 정의적인 측면은 매우 낮은 것으로 알려졌다. 이 같은 문제해결을 위하여 본 연구에서는 구성주의 학습이론에 바탕을 둔 '문제중심학습(Problem- Based Learning, PBL)'을 도입하여 학습자의 성취수준에 맞게 학습 목표를 재구성하여 고등학교 중 상위권 학생들에게 적용한 후, 문제중심학습 지도 방안이 학생들의 학업성취도와 수학교과에 대한 수학적 태도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 실험집단과 비교집단의 학업성취도 및 수학적 태도에서 유의미한 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만 수학적 태도 검사의 하위 영역중의 하나인 학생들의 자아개념 분석에서는 실험집단과 비교집단 간의 유의미한 차이는 없었으나 실험집단의 자아개념 평균 점수는 문제중심학습 실험 전 후에 유의미한 차이가 있는 젓으로 나타났다.
