Whereas research on telelearning in educational technology area is lively done, that in mathematics education area is not. Related to the open education, telelearning has 4 models: the distance classroom model, the front-end system design, the knowledge construction model, and the teaching model based on data. S/W, C/W, and H/W are the components of telelearning system. For an effective mathematics telelearning system, H/W and S/W which use multimedia with complex multimode information such as text, graphics, animation, video, and audio are necessary. Examples of telelearning systems on going are MIPOS, SDS telelearning system, telelearning system of the Naechon Elementary School, and Doorae Multimedia Application Development Platform.

The web-based distance education has some problems in managing students despite the merit of getting over the problem of time and space compared with the classroom education or residential course. These problems make the web-based distance learners difficult in achieving the purpose and the standard of goal. And they drive the manager in charge of the web-based distance education into worries. The manager of the distance education should keep on monitoring students' participation and response, and then give the appropriate feedback to the students. But, the existing distance education system neglects to support efficient management function, for it puts emphasis on the activity of teaching and learning. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to extract the factors that are necessary to manage the distance education for training teachers, to realize the effective management system which can offer a proper feedback in the distance education for training teachers through the application of those factors to the training program, to make it possible to change the management system flexibly according to the curriculum and the computing setting.

Purpose: This study aims at analyzing the effects of school health education through lessons on health knowledge, health attitude and health behavior among middle school students. Methods: The data was collected by self-administered questionnaires from the selected experimental group (n=136) and control group (n=148) in Seoul. Among them, 118 in experimental group and 121 in control group were included in final analysis. Experimental group took the 25-hour health education lessons from March 2010 to February 2011. The statistical method of analysis for homogeneity test of general characteristics was used ${\chi}^2$-test and for the effects of school health education through lessons was used unpaired t-test by SPSS/WIN 18.0 Program. Results: After the 25-hour health education lessons, statistical significance was observed between the experimental group and the control group to health knowledge. But two groups did not reach statistical significance on health attitude and health behavior. Conclusion: This study indicates that the school health education through lessons improves students' health knowledge. However in order to improve students' health attitude and behavior, it is necessary conduct more long-term school health education. Hence for the effective school health education, it is recommended to continue a long-term school health education and to secure a health education only classroom, textbooks, various educational materials and teaching methods and assistants.

The purpose of this study was to develop and verify the feedback-enhanced performance assessment model through a variety of assessment strategies focused on the development of students. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, we analyzed the achievements of the sixth grade curriculum standards and set the central achievement standards in core competencies. We then established an evaluation plan to take advantage of a variety of methods and develop an assessment tool for process-based evaluation during lessons. We applied this assessment model to 6th grade students while teaching and learning mathematics in the classroom. The result of applying the performance evaluation model showed the improvement of students' reflective thinking ability. Also, some students who was not achieved at the level of 'N' could develop to the level of 'N + 1'. A long term research using various assessment strategies should be continued for effective help of students' mathematical development.

Despite the recent emphasis on mathematical communication, little practical guide has been provided for a teacher with what to do for orchestrating high-quality discussions in a mathematics classroom. This paper analyzed 20 elementary mathematics lessons which were recognized as effective instruction in Korea using an analytic framework with regard to 5 practices for orchestrating productive mathematics discussions (i.e., anticipating, monitoring, selecting, sequencing, & connecting) by Smith and Stein (2011) in terms of performance scales from Level 0 to 3. The results of this study showed that the most frequent levels were Level 1 including undesirable practices and Level 2 including insufficient practices. There were only one or two lessons per practice which were assessed as Level 3 of good performance. Specifically, Level 2 was the most frequent with regard to monitoring and selecting, whereas Level 1 was the most frequent as for the other practices. This paper provides some implications for co-ordinating productive mathematics discussions.

The study focuses on what to consider and do for the improvement of math education of Korean Universities by comparing freshmen and seniors of department of math education in their beliefs in mathematics and math. education. The major comparing topics in the beliefs are composed of perception of mathematics as a science, learning methods of mathematics, teaching methods of mathematics, and roles and qualifications of math. teachers. The results of the study show that junior students tend to be more positive in their beliefs, especially in math education area than that of mathematics, compared to the freshmen. It implies that how important the role of topics covered in math education during college years is for changing the future teachers' beliefs in math and math education more positively. The supposed influencing contents of the curriculum of math. education are composed of learning reflection method based on problem-based learning, understanding mathematics as originated from the real world, mathematical pedagogy, text analysis, practice in classroom, and understanding various concepts in math. education area.

Infinitesimal did not play an explicit role concerning definite integral in the textbook nowadays. But studies which investigate understanding of students on definite integral show that many students comprehend definite integral with infinitesimal. Formally infinitesimal is not taught at mathematics classroom, but many students identify definite integral as infinite sum of infinitesimals. This means that definite integral itself contains some structural elements that allow infinitesimal interpretation. In this study we investigate the role of infinitesimal In the historical development of partition-sum in definite integral, extract didactical issues concerning understanding of definite integral, and analyse Korean mathematics textbooks. Finally we propose some suggestions on the teaching of definite integral which contains the process of refinement intuition.

Learners who have taken learner-centered instruction is expected to construct conceptually mathematical knowledge which is. If so, they can have some ability to solve problems they are confronted with in the first time. To know this, First graders who have been in learner-centered instruction during 1 school year was given 7+52+186 which usually appears in the national curriculum for 3rd grade. According to the results, most of them have constructed the logic necessary to solve the given problem to them, and actually solve it. From this, it can be concluded that first, even though learners are 1st graders they can construct mathematical knowledge abstractly, second, they can apply it to the new problem, and third consequently they can got a good score in a achievement test.

The Common Core States Standards was developed by building on the best state standards in the U.S.; examining the expectations of other highperforming countries around world; and carefully studying the research and literature available on what students need to know. The Common Core States Standards for Mathematics are reshaping the teaching and learning of mathematics in California classroom using the California Common Core States Standards for Mathematics(CA CCSSM). The aim of this study is to observe CA CCSSM. The CA CCSSM were established to address the problem of having a curriculum that is 'a mile wide and an inch deep'. And it have two types of standards. One is standards for mathematical practice which are the same at each grade level, the other is standards for mathematical content which are different at each grade level. This study focused on standards for mathematical content, in particular, on Geometry domain in elementary level, using Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools.
