Large Midwest university faculty members proposed the Science and Technology Enhancement Program Project (STEP) to improve students' learning in the secondary mathematics classroom using modules of inquiry-based teaching. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the STEP Project on students' attitude toward mathematics. Hierarchical linear models (HLM) were used to evaluate the impact of the STEP Project. The sample group for the study was 130 ninth grade students enrolled in Integrated Algebra I in a large urban school district. The school was one of eight secondary schools that participated in the STEP Project. The classes in the treatment group were three of five classes ordered in terms of the highest, middle, and lowest mean GPA. The control group consisted of two other middle GPA classes. The classes had an average of 25 students. Teachers who previously had been involved in the STEP Project taught all treatment and control classes. The inquiry-based teaching activities provided by the project were confined to the treatment classes. The survey measuring students' attitudes toward mathematics were obtained for both groups of students. The inquiry-based teaching affected students' attitudes toward mathematics (p < 0.07, ES = 3.07). Especially, students who had preexisting low attitudes toward mathematics were significantly affected by treatment (p < 0.02, ES = 0.02), while the treatment positively affected African American students overall at p < 0.08 (ES = 0.58).

The purpose of the study was to investigate the reality of middle school mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge for teaching mathematical conjecture and justification. Data in the study were collected through interviewing nine Chinese and ten Korean middle school mathematics teachers. The teachers responded to the question that was designed in the form of a scenario that presents a teaching task related to a geometrical topic. The teachers' oral responses were audiotaped and transcribed, and their written notes were collected. The results of the study were compared to the analysis of American and Chinese elementary and secondary teachers' responses to the same task in Ball (1988) and Ma (1999). The findings of the study suggested that teachers' approaches to explaining and demonstrating a mathematical topic were significantly influenced by their knowledge of learners and knowledge of the curriculum they teach. One of the practical implications of the study is that teachers should recognize the advantages of learning the conceptual structure of a mathematical topic. It allows the teachers to have the flexibility to come up with meaningful mathematical approaches to teaching the topic, which are comprehensible to the learners whatever the grade levels they teach, rather than rule-based algorithms.

본 연구는 교사들이 생각하는 좋은 수학 수업을 알아보기 위해 4개의 대영역(교육과정과 교육내용, 교수 학습, 교실환경 및 수업 분위기, 평가)과 48개 하위 요소로 구성된 설문지를 이용하여 초등학교 교사 223명과 중학교 수학 교사 151명의 반응을 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 초등 교사는 대영역 중 교육과정과 교육내용 영역을, 중등 교사는 교수 학습 영역을 가장 중요하게 생각하였다. 세부 요소 별로 살펴보면, 초 중등 교사는 공통적으로 자기주도적 학습 능력을 신장시키는 수업, 학생 수준에 맞게 교육과정을 재구성하여 실시한 수업, 학생과 교사간의 상호작용이 잘 이루어지는 수업 등을 좋은 수학 수업이라고 생각하였다. 그러나 초등 교사는 좋은 수학 수업과 관련된 23개 요소에 대해서 중등 교사보다 더 중요하다고 인식하였으며, 중등 교사는 수학적 표현 능력을 신장시키는 수업, 동기 유발이 잘 이루어지는 수업의 2개 요소에 대해서만 초등 교사보다 유의미하게 더 중요하다고 인식하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 우리나라 본연의 좋은 수학 수업에 대한 교사의 인식 및 이에 따른 시사점을 논의하였다.

This study is to provide improved teaching methods on classical geometric construction education by a straightedge and compass in school mathematics. In this paper, justifications of construction methods of Korean textbooks, for perpendicular bisector of an segment and angle bisector are discussed, which can be directly applicable to teaching geometric construction meaningfully. Based on these considerations, several implications for desirable teaching methods concerning geometric construction were suggested.

The subject of this study was the graph of relation of direct inverse proportion, linear function and quadratic function in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade of current middle school mathematics curriculum. GSP materials were developed to simplify the principle, trait and characteristics of graphs and make them easier to understand. The overall aim of the materials is to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning through the utilization of enhanced students' practice. Additionally, the use of the GSP will be useful in the development of mere effective materials. The effectiveness of the GSP materials will be as followings. 1. The step by step approach of GSP materials through computer interaction will enhance students motivation and interest in mathematics. 2. By presenting the subject matter simply and in a variety of ways, difficult concepts can be understood without the use of complex mathematical calculation. 3. The GSP program is different from CAI and other software programs. It should be used only after learning how to input and output data.

본 연구는 우리나라 학생들의 수학적 신념을 간편하게 측정할 수 있는 표준화된 측정 도구를 문헌연구와 심리측정학적 분석을 바탕으로 수학교과에 대한 신념, 수학 문제해결 신념, 수학 교수 학습에 대한 신념, 수학적 자아개념의 4개의 하위 요소로 구성하여 중학생용은 총 37문항으로, 고등학생용은 총 40문항으로 개발하였다. 그리고 대단위 표집 검사를 실시하여 우리나라 중 고등학생의 수학적 신념이 학교급별, 성별, 성취수준에 따라 어떤 특성이 나타나는지를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 중 고등학교 모두 남학생이 여학생보다 수학이 유용하다고 믿는 신념, 수학에서 과정보다 정답을 구하는 것이 중요하다고 믿는 신념, 많은 수의 문제를 푸는 것이 중요하고 믿는 신념 등이 강하게 나타났고, 중학교에서 고등학교로 진급하면서 수학적 자아개념 중 '감정' 요인이 긍정적으로 변화하였다. 여학생은 중 고등학교 모두 수학 교수 학습에 대한 신념 중 '교사의 수업활동' 요인만이 남학생보다 강하였다. 성취수준이 '기초이하' 집단 학생들이 수학은 암기해야 하는 공식과 절차라거나 창의적 활동에 대한 기회를 제공하지 못한다고 생각하는 '고정관념'이 가장 강하였다. 그 외요인에서는 '우수' 집단 학생들의 신념이 강하였다.

In this study, we created, implemented, and evaluated the impact of proportional reasoning authentic investigative activities on the mathematical content and pedagogical knowledge and attitudes of pre-service elementary and middle school mathematics teachers. For this purpose, a special teaching model was developed, implemented, and tested as part of the pre-service mathematics teacher training programs conducted in Israeli teacher colleges. The model was developed following pilot studies investigating the change in mathematical and pedagogical knowledge of pre- and in-service mathematics teachers, due to experience in authentic proportional reasoning activities. The conclusion of the study is that application of the model, through which the pre-service teachers gain experience and are exposed to authentic proportional reasoning activities with incorporation of theory (reading and analyzing relevant research reports) and practice, leads to a significant positive change in the pre-service teachers' mathematical content and pedagogical knowledge. In addition, improvement occurred in their attitudes and beliefs towards learning and teaching mathematics in general, and ratio and proportion in particular.
