  • 본고에서는 1970년대 이후로 전개된 수학사 연구의 기본 방향의 변화를 다룬다. 그 가운데서도 유클리드 <원론> II권의 내용인 이른바 '기하학적 대수학'에 대한 해석을 둘러싸고 벌어진 일련의 논쟁이 어떻게 전개되었는지를 소개하고, 그 논쟁이 수학사 연구의 방향 전환과 어떤 관련성을 띠는지를 밝히도록 한다.

  • This research applies the discursive approach to investigate the social transformation of students' conceptual model of differential equations. The analysis focuses on the students' use of metaphor in class in order to find kinds of metaphor used, their characteristics, and a pattern in the use of metaphor. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the students' conceptual model of differential equations gradually becomes transformed with respect to the historical and cultural structure of the communal practice of mathematics. The findings suggest that through participating in the daily practice of mathematics as a historical and cultural product, a learner becomes socially transformed to a certain kind of a cultural being with historicity. This implies that mathematics education is concerned with the formation of historical and cultural identity at a fundamental level.

  • Many researchers consider the totality of Babylonian mathematics was profoundly elementary, but some of their mathematical knowledge achieved a novel comparable to the Greeks. The aim of this article is to provide a brief overview of the environmental and social background which made mathematical development. Historically, mathematics is always a product of society. So it is valuable to study historical background which have produced mathematics.

  • 이 연구는 학교수학에서 대학수학으로의 이행과정에서 정의와 증명의 변화와 관련하여, 기하학에서 공리적 방법의 발달과정을 분석하였다. 고대 그리스에서 현대수학적인 공리적 방법으로의 변화를 이해하는데 있어서, 상수 혹은 변수라는 기본용어의 성격 차이는 중요한 지표이다. 특히 기본용어의 상수에서 변수로의 성격 변화는 수학에서 정의와 증명 개념 및 수학에 대한 인식 변화를 설명한다. 이러한 수학사적 분석은 대학수학의 입문과정에서 형식적 정의와 증명 개념의 의미를 설명하는 데 유용하게 사용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

  • In this study, we tried to make histo-genetic analyses necessary to identify epistemological obstacles on the function concepts. Historical development on the function concept was analysed. From these analyses, we obtain epistemological obstacles as follows: the perception of changes in the surrounding world, mathematical philosophy, number concepts, variable concepts, relationships between independent variables and dependent variables, concepts of definitions.

  • 성별(性別)은 사회 및 문화적 배경에 따라 그 역할과 의미가 다르게 해석될 수 있다. 성별에 대한 이해는 수학 교육 연구 방향을 변화시킬 수 있다는 전제를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 문헌연구방법을 적용하여 국내 수학 교육 선행 연구에 있어 성별이 어떻게 해석되고 있는지를 확인하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 실증주의적 관점을 바탕으로 한 예측 모델, 구성주의적 관점을 바탕으로 한 성별 스키마 모델, 역사적 관점을 바탕으로 한 문화 역사적 구성 모델, 포스트모더니즘 관점을 바탕으로 한 포스트모더니즘 모델에서의 성별 연구 방법에 대한 분석을 토대로 선행 연구를 분석하여 국내 수학 교육 연구의 동향을 파악하였다. 분석 결과 국내 수학 교육에서 성별은 생물학적 차이로 인식되고 있으며, 통계적 분석 기법을 활용하여 성별과 수학 교육의 관련 요소 분석이 주를 이루고 있음을 확인하였다. 이에 향후 수학 교육에 있어 성별의 역할을 해석할 수 있는 다양한 접근법이 필요하다는 시사점을 얻을 수 있었다.

  • We discuss some aspects of mathematics for teachers such as algebra for teachers, geometry for teachers, statistics for teachers, etc., which can be taught in teacher preparation courses. Mathematics for teachers should consider the followings: (a) Various solutions for a problem, (b) The dynamics of a problem introduced by change of condition, (c) Relationship of mathematics to real life, (d) Mathematics history and historical issues, (e) The difference between pure mathematics and pedagogical mathematics, (f) Understanding of the theoretical backgrounds, and (g) Understanding advanced mathematics.

  • The historico-genetic principle has been advocated continuously, as an alternative one to the traditional deductive method of teaching and learning mathematics, by Clairaut, Cajori, Smith, Klein, Poincar$\'{e}$, La Cour, Branford, Toeplitz, etc. since 18C. And recently we could find various studies in relation to the historico-genetic principle. Lakatos', Freudenthal's, and Brousseau's are representative in them. But they are different from the previous historico- genetic principle in many aspects. In this study, the previous historico- genetic principle is called as classical historico- genetic principle and the other one as modern historico-genetic principle. This study shows that the differences between them arise from the historical views of mathematics and the development of the theories of mathematics education. Dewey thinks that education is a constant reconstruction of experience. This study shows the historico-genetic principle could us embody the Dewey's psycological method. Bruner's discipline-centered curriculum based on Piaget's genetic epistemology insists on teaching mathematics in the reverse order of historical genesis. This study shows the real understaning the structure of knowledge could not neglect the connection with histogenesis of them. This study shows the historico-genetic principle could help us realize Bruner's point of view on the teaching of the structure of mathematical knowledge. In this study, on the basis of the examination of the development of the historico-genetic principle, we try to stipulate the principle more clearly, and we also try to present teaching unit for the logarithm according to the historico- genetic principle.

  • P. Dirac's contribution to the advent of the modern quantum mechanics is undeniable. His main research guideline is the principle of mathematical beauty. What is this principle on the earth\ulcorner Are there distinctive features between pure mathematician's mind and theoretical physicist' mind about the mathematical beauty\ulcorner These problems will be analyzed with respect to Dirac's case which can reflect a historical interrelationship between science and philosophy.

  • In this article, the author's intent is to begin a conversation centered on the question: How was the integration of digital technology into elementary mathematics classrooms framed? In the first part of the discussion, the author provides a historical perspective of the development of theoretical perspectives of the integration of digital technology in learning mathematics. Then, the author describes three theoretical perspectives of the role of digital technology in mathematics education: microworlds, instrumental genesis, and semiotic mediation. Last, based on three different theoretical perspectives, the author concludes the article by asking the reader to think differently.
