  • Students in East Asia have consistently out-performed their counterparts in the West in recent international studies of mathematics achievement. But some studies also show that East Asian students are more rigid in thought, and lack originality and creativity. While different theories have been proposed to account for these student performances, relatively few research studies have been done on classroom practices, potentially a major variable for explaining student performances. This paper will report on the results of two classroom studies: the TIMSS 1999 Video Study and the Learners' Perspective Study (LPS). Results the quantitative analysis of the TlMSS 1999 Video Study data show that the East Asian classrooms were dominated by teacher talk, and the mathematics content learned was abstract and unrelated to the real life. On the other hand, the characteristics of the instructional practices in Hong Kong as judged by an expert panel are that student learned relatively advanced mathematics content; the components of the lessons were more coherent, and the presentation of the lessons was more fully developed. Hong Kong students seemed to be more engaged in the mathematics lessons, and the. overall quality of the lessons was judged to be high. Results of the analysis of the LPS data also show that the classrooms in the East Asian city of Seoul were in general teacher dominated, but students were usually actively engaged in the mathematics learning. Emphasis on exploration of mathematics and practicing exercises with variation was common. It is argued that the quality teaching in the East Asian classrooms laid a firm foundation in mathematics for students, and that constitutes a necessary condition for the development of students' creativity. In order to fully develop the creativity of East Asian students, they need to be given the right environment and encouragement.

  • 교사의 질문은 학생들이 구체적인 반응과 함께 수학적 담론에 참여하도록 한다는 점에서 수학 교수-학습에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 교사의 질문에 관한 기존 연구들은 주로 맥락에 대한 고려 없이 질문을 인지적 수준에 따라 범주화하여 분석하였기에, 효과적인 수학적 담론을 구축하기 위해 교사가 어떻게 질문해야 하는지에 대해서는 크게 주목하지 못하였다. 이에 본 연구는 수학 교실에서 효과적인 수학적 담론을 구축하는 교사의 질문활동이 어떤 특성을 가지고 있어야 하는지를 탐색하고자 하였다. 수학적 담론 및 교사의 질문활동에 관한 선행연구 검토와 이론적 분석을 통해, 교사 질문활동의 특성으로서 개방성, 공유성, 생산성을 도출하였다. 중학교 수학교사 한 명의 수업 사례를 통해 효과적인 수학적 담론 구축을 위해 교사 질문활동의 세 가지 특성이 필요함을 확인하였다. 이론적 분석과 수업 사례 분석을 통해 확인한 결과를 바탕으로 개방성, 공유성, 생산성이 교사의 질문활동을 분석하기 위한 틀로써 유용할 수 있음을 논의하였다.

  • This paper describes the teaching of mathematics in France at the elementary and secondary levels. It consists of four parts: the structure of the french education system and the status of mathematics within it, the evolution of mathematics teaching in France from 1968 to nowadays, the teacher training in France, the mathematical contents in the elementary school curriculum and the mathematics curriculum in the lower secondary school. From this review, we can extract some characteristics of the teaching of mathematics in France.

  • In this paper, we tried to establish the concept of 'Mathematics for Elementary Teachers(MET)'. There are 4 kinds of Mathematics for Teachers(MT). MET is one of tried to establish the concept in contradistinction to school mathematics(SM), mathematics, and Teaching Materials(TM). We suggested the outline of MET by suggesting the parts to which SM, MTs. The concept of MET is established variously according to various views. Here, we mathematics, and TM can not approach.
