This study was conducted to attain an in-depth understanding of students' mathematical representations and to present the educational implications for teaching them. Twelve mathematical tasks were developed according to the six types of problems. A task performance was executed to 151 third graders from four classes in DaeJeon and GyeongGi. We analyzed the types and forms of representations generated by them. Then, qualitative case studies were conducted on two small-groups of five from two classes in GyeongGi. We analyzed how individuals' representations became elaborated into group representation and what patterns emerged during the collaborative small-group learning. From the results, most students used more than one representation in solving a problem, but they were not fluent enough to link them to successful problem solving or to transfer correctly among them. Students refined their representations into more meaningful group representation through peer interaction, self-reflection, etc.. Teachers need to give students opportunities to think through, and choose from, various representations in problem solving. We also need the in-depth understanding and great insights into students' representations for teaching.

본 연구는 학교 수학에서 다루어지는 수학적 귀납법의 형식적 도입에 대한 문제 제기로부터 출발한다. 학생들이 수학적 귀납법의 의미와 구조를 충분히 인식하지 못한 채 단지 증명의 도구로서 도구적 이해 수준에서 형식적으로 다루어지는 수학교육 현실의 개선을 위하여, 수학적 귀납법의 역사적 발생 과정을 고대 그리스의 재귀적 무한을 통한 암묵적 사용으로부터 17세기 Pascal과 Format의 추상적 형식화의 단계에 이르기까지 고찰함으로써 그 과정에 포함된 다양한 사고 유형의 본질을 규명하고 특히 중요한 역할을 한 것으로 추정되는 하강법에 주목함으로써 교육적 논의를 통해 학교 수학에 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

Researchers at Truman State University in Missouri, located in the heartland of the United States, have been using materials adapted from the English translations of the sixth national primary mathematics curriculum from Korea for professional development and assessment with groups of Missouri teachers for the purpose of enhancing teachers' understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics since 2002 [gecKo Mathematics (2008). Korean Mathematics in American Classrooms. Edited by J. Grow-Maienza. Adapted from Korean Mathematics (2001). Kirksville, MO: Truman State University. http://kmath.truman.edu/]. A professional development initiative for 50 teachers conducted in Missouri this past year is reported here. Significant gains in teacher understanding of fundamental mathematics concepts and pedagogy necessary for student achievement in primary mathematics were found as a result of the initiative.

This study sought to provide an explanation of university students' concept understanding on the infinity and infinite process and utilized a psychological constructivist perspective to examine the differences in transitions that students make from static concept of limit to actualized infinity stage in context of problems. Open-ended questions were used to gather data that were used to develop an explanation concerning student understanding. 47 university students answered individually and were asked to solve 16 tasks developed by Petty(1996). Microgenetic method with two cases from the expert-novice perspective were used to develop and substantiate an explanation regarding students' transitions from static concept of limit to actualized infinity stage. The protocols were analyzed to document student conceptions. Cifarelli(1988)'s levels of reflective abstraction and Robert(1982) and Sierpinska(1985)'s three-stage concept development model of infinity and infinite process provided a framework for this explanation. Students who completed a transition to actualized infinity operated higher levels of reflective abstraction than students who was unable to complete such a transition. Developing this ability was found to be critical in achieving about understanding the concept of infinity and infinite process.

This study investigates 55 preservice secondary mathematics teachers' situational understanding of functional relationship. Functional thinking is fundamental and useful because it develops students' quantitative thinking about the world and analytical thinking about complex situations through examination of the relations between interdependent factors. Functional thinking is indispensable for understanding natural phenomena, for investigation by science, and for the technological inventions in engineering and navigation. Therefore, it goes without saying that teachers should be able to represent and communicate about various functional situations in the course of teaching and learning functional relationships to develop students' functional thinking. The result of this study illustrates that many preservice teachers were not able to appropriately represent and communicate about various functional situations. Additionally, it shows that most preservice teachers have limited understanding of the value of teaching function.

Measurement has been an important part of mathematics content students must learn through their schooling. Many studies suggest students' weak measurement learning, particularly related to length measurement, on the part of lower grade students. This difficulty has been attributed to mathematics curriculum as well as instruction. Building on a view of teaching as an interactive activity, this paper explores how a first grade teacher interacted with her students in small groups in a length measurement lesson to promote conceptual understanding as well as procedural fluency. I found that even though the teacher supported students to explain and justify what they understood, the ways the teacher interacted with students were not effective to promote students' understanding. Even though this finding is based on an analysis of a single mathematics lesson, it provides an example of challenges in promoting students' understanding through interaction with students in the context of teaching length measurement.

2015 개정 수학과 교육과정에서 제시하는 수학 교과 역량 중 의사소통 능력은 학생들의 수학 학습을 위한 수단이자 목표로서 중요한 역할을 한다. 이에 수학을 가르칠 때 학생들의 의사소통 능력을 신장하기 위한 방안을 모색하고 실제 학생들의 의사소통 능력을 면밀히 분석하는 것은 의미 있는 일이다. 이러한 필요성에 따라 본 연구에서는 초등학교 6학년 학생들을 대상으로 분수의 나눗셈에 초점을 둔 의사소통 능력을 조사하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 의사소통 능력의 네 가지 하위요소(수학적 표현의 이해, 수학적 표현의 개발 및 변환, 자신의 생각 표현, 타인의 생각 이해)에 따라 검사지를 개발했다. 연구 결과, 학생들은 분수의 나눗셈의 원리를 다양한 수학적 표현으로 이해하고 나타낼 수 있었다. 학생들은 수학적 표현의 개발 및 변환, 자신의 생각 표현 측면에서 수학적 아이디어를 시각적 모델로 표현하는 것보다 수식으로 표현하고 해결하는 데 능숙했으며, 자신의 생각을 표현하거나 타인의 생각에 대해 반응할 때 수학 용어나 기호 등을 적절하게 사용하였다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 수학 교과 역량으로서의 의사소통 능력을 함양하기 위한 지도 방안에 대한 시사점을 논의하였다.

This study explored teachers (n = 219) from northern, central, southern and eastern Taiwan concerning their views about children's learning difficulties, mathematical instruction and school mathematics curricular. Results showed that teachers' mathematics knowledge or their instruction methods had no significant influence on their views of children's learning difficulties. Even though teachers indicated that understanding of abstract mathematical concepts was the most prominent difficulty for children, they tended to employ direct instruction rather than constructive and cooperative problem solving in their teaching. However, teachers' views of children's learning difficulties did influence their instructional practice. Results from in-dept interviews revealed that there were some obstacles that prevented teachers from putting constructiveism perspectives of instruction into teaching practice. Further investigation is needed to develop a better understanding of epistemology and teaming psychology as well as to help teachers create constructive learning situations.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 6학년 아동을 대상으로 하여 수학적 모델링을 적용한 입체도형의 겉넓이 수업에서 학습이 이루어지는 동안 나타나는 학생들의 추상화 과정을 분석하고 학습에 대한 사전 사후의 겉넓이 이해 검사 결과를 비교함으로써 겉넓이에 대한 이해 정도를 알아보고자 함이다. 학생들의 추상화 과정을 분석한 결과 학생들은 주어진 수학적 모델링 과제를 해결하는 동안 수학적 원리를 포함한 모델을 개발하면서 모둠별로 각기 다른 수준의 추상화 과정을 나타냈으며, 겉넓이 이해 검사 결과 사후 검사에서 학생들의 겉넓이에 대한 이해가 향상되었다.
