수학교육에서 창조적 사고력을 기르는 것이 중요하며, 이에 관한 연구의 집적이 필요하다 이 연구는 수학교육을 통해 다양하고 확산적인 사고활동을 촉진하여 창조성의 육성이 가능하다는 것에 대하여 탐구하였다. 이를 위해 초등학교 수학교육에서 창조적 사고력을 길러줄 수 있다고 생각하는 교구에 의한 조작 활동 및 문제해결과 문제 만들기 학습 지도 방법을 통한 학생들의 다양하고 확산적인 생산에 대한 실제 사례를 들면서 논하였다. 수학교육에서 창조성의 육성은 초등학교 단계의 어린 시기부터 실시하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각되며, 이를 위한 다양한 교재 및 학습 지도 방법에 대한 개발·연구의 집적이 필요하다고 생각한다.

It is generally accepted that fostering creative thinking is a core in mathematics education and accumulating research products on that topic is really needed. In this study, I hoped to investigate and verify that in mathematics education it was possible to cultivate creative thinking through various and divergent activities, For this purpose, I delat with some illustrations, in which students learned mathematics through the operational activities using teaching tools, problem solving and problem posing activities, and finally they seemed to foster creative mathematical thinking. In conclusion of this paper, I have suggested that in math education those activities should be used to cultivate students' creative thinking in kindergarten or early elementary school. Also I asserted that it is urgently need to store up research products about various materials and methods for those mathematics teaching and learning.

First, reciprocal writing-reflection activities showed significant effects on mathematical achievements of the group with lower achievements in learning. Second, reciprocal writing-reflection activities positively influenced mathematical tendency of the students. Third, the students had positive attitudes in interest, desire and usefulness regarding reciprocal writing-reflection activities. And reciprocal writing- reflection activities are helpful for their reflective thinking and communication activities.

지금까지 수학적 의사소통과 수학적 태도에 관한 선행연구는 주로 쓰기 활동을 통한 자료 수집을 통해 많이 이루어져 왔다. 또한 프로젝트 활동이나 소집단 토의 활동에 대한 연구는 여러 차례 있었으나, 이를 수학적 의사소통 영역과 수학적 태도면에서 연관시켜 분석한 선행연구는 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 학생들을 소집단으로 구성하여 프로젝트형 문제를 해결하는 과정을 촬영하여 살펴본 후, 그 속에서 수학적 의사소통은 어떻게 전개되고 있으며, 수학적 태도의 측면에서는 어떤 현상이 관찰되는지 알아보고 그 시사점을 추출해 보고자 하는데 연구의 목적이 있다.

This study was proposed to analyze mathematical communication activity and mathematical attitudes while students were solving project problem and to consider how the conclusions effects mathematics education. This study analyzed through qualitative research method. The questions for this study are following. First, how does the process of the mathematical communication activity proceed during solving project problem in a small group? Second, what reactions can be shown on mathematical attitudes during solving project problem in a small group? Four project problems sampled from pilot study in order to examine these questions were applied on two small groups consisting of four 5th grade students It was recorded while each group was finding out the solution of the given problems. Afterward, consequences were analyzed according to each question after all contents were noted. Consequently, conclusions can be derived as follows. First, it was shown that each student used different elements of contents in mathematical communication activity. Second, during mathematical communication activity, most students preferred common languages to mathematical ones. Third, it was found that each student has their own mathematical attitude. Fourth, Students were more interested in the game project problem and the practical using project problem than others.

This study is to recognize a problem in the practice of performance assessment in elementary school, and to find out some suggestive points for improvement of teaching·learning method in elementary mathematics through assessment by reducing time restriction according to assessment through the practice of self-assessment, peer-assessment and observation, and then by reflecting the results of assessment on teaching learning plan. For that, the questions of study set up are as follows ; 1. How should self-assessment and peer-assessment be applied to in elementary mathematics assessment? 2. How should the time for 'let's play an interesting game' be managed for assessment of elementary mathematics? 3. How should the results of assessment be reflected on the Process of teaching and learning of mathematics? To solve these problems, a researcher of this thesis performed self-assessment, peer-assessment on 40 students of second grade under her charge as a class teacher, and applied observation in the time management process for 'let's play an interesting game' for a semester. self-assessment was made by mathematics journal, self-assessment chart, peer-assessment was by the analysis of conversation record among students in the situations of assessment, and observation was by observation of activity when playing with the results data of play analyzed. the concrete methods of application as follows ; First, mathematics journal was applied times by each unit with reconstruction into the level of second grade on the basis of the preceding-study models. Second, peer-assessment was applied to the unit-assessment time and the play-activities time by the method of recording·analyzing the contents of conversation among students in the process of assessment. Third, mathematical attitude & dispositions of students making use of the self- assessment table were examined referring to the teaching learning plan. Fourth, the time management for 'let's play an interesting game' was made through the prior recognition of play method and the joyful play-activities by use of the play-plate. Assessment depended on analysis of play-activities results of students making use of an observation form. Fifth, the results of self-assessment, peer-assessment, and observation were analyzed, and then they were made use of as self-observation data, of teacher her/his self, or teaching·learning improvement data. Students' self-assessment datum (mathematics diary, self-assessment sheets, conversation contents in the process of assessment) and observation materials (check lists, Play-activity result materials, conversation contents in the process of play) obtained in the process of application was analyzed as follows ; 1. From the practice of self-assessment in form of mathematics journal, I could obtain not only datum showing how much students was understanding the learning aims by unit time and to any degree they reached but also information about their response to learning datum and favorable type of learning. 2. Assessment by self-assessment chart was useful in planning the mathematics teaching learning process because it helps ascertain mathematical attitude & dispositions of students. 3. Through the application of peer-assessment, students had the opportunity of communicating with other students looking back on his/her explaining process, and teachers could obtain basic materials for assessment of students. 4, In case of time management for 'let's play an interesting game', there was natural extension of play made through time-security by prior looking into the method of play-activity, and then, for a remained time, by making children play a new game. 5, I could easily record the activities of students by use of the observation. form, and make use of it as basic data for descriptive assessment. 6, Each kinds of data obtained from the results of assessment was helpful for securing self-observation materials in the process of teaching learning and for their betterment in mathematics subject. However, because they were in the second grade of elementary school and there was an individual difference, some students could not make use of mathematics diary or self-assessment form properly. In case of these students, assessment data would be obtained through interview or observation. And for effective operation of play, its purpose & method and matters that demand special attention when play-acting should be clearly guided. Also, when applying an effective play in addition to play activities in textbook, to lessons, interesting mathematics lessons could be guided.

학생들이 수학학습을 하는데 있어서 경험하게 되는 여러 가지 부정적인 경험과 정서들은 학년이 올라감에 따라 학생들의 수학불안의 요인이 되며, 이러한 수학불안은 효과적인 수학성취도에 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학교 학생들의 수학불안 요인을 수학교과 요인, 학습자 태도 요인, 교사 요인, 환경요인의 4개 영역으로 나누어 분석한 후, 수학불안 요인들이 학년 및 성별 간에 차이를 보이는지에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 또한 수학불안 요인들은 수학성취도와 어떠한 관계가 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 그리하여 초등학생의 수학불안 요인 처치의 중요성을 인식하고 그 방안을 모색하는데 도움을 주고자 한다.

The purposes of this study are to find out differences of the causes of mathematics anxiety in elementary school students according to the Grades and sex, and to find out which causes have more influence on achievement of mathematics and how much it is. For this purposes, the problems of this study are defined as follows: First, are there any differences in the influences of each super-causes and sub-causes of mathematics anxiety according to the Grades? Second, are there any differences in the influences of each super-causes and sub-causes of mathematics anxiety according to the sex? Third, what relation do the super-causes of mathematics anxiety have to the achievement of mathematics? The conclusions of this study are as follows: First, mathematics anxiety is much more affected by the internal cause like the cause of student attitude than the external cause like the causes of circumstance and the cause of teacher. Second. mathematics anxiety is much more affected by a direct experience like the causes of a shortage of time and the causes of student interest than indirect experience like the causes of teacher's authority and the causes of the application of daily life. Third, the causes of circumstance and parent's attitude. its sub-cause, have greater influence on the female group than on the male group. Fourth, in the middle Gradess, the female group is more affected by the cause of student attitude and the cause of circumstance than the male group, but in the higher Grades. the differences disappear and those two become common causes of anxiety. Fifth, As the students go up to the next Grades in school, the cause of teacher, the characteristic of the curriculum and the cause of prejudice have more influence on the mathematics anxiety. Sixth, the causes of teacher, the causes of mathematical curriculum and the causes of student attitude among super-causes of mathematics anxiety have a negative effect on the achievement of mathematics. But the causes of circumstance have a positive effect on it. And also, the causes of mathematical curriculum among super-causes is much related to the causes of teacher and the causes of circumstance.
