  • As the number of dislocated North Korean students is increasing, the need and interest in supporting their learning are higher. We interviewed two dislocated female North Korean students who had studied middle school mathematics in North Hamgyeong Province and finished high school in South Korea. Two participants compared their student experiences of mathematics lessons in North Korea to mathematics lessons in South Korea. There exist differences but also similarities between mathematics lessons in South and North Korea. On Based on these interviews, we discuss some implication of two students' experiences on mathematics lessons and examinations.
