“…For example, the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum in South Korea emphasizes that statistical literacy is required in the process of collecting, summarizing, and interpreting data as basic literacy for every democratic citizen in order to predict the future and make rational decisions by understanding the uncertainty of the modern information society [6]. However, unlike other advanced countries in North America and Europe, as well as Japan and China, which have built a strategy to prepare for an unpredictable future and strengthen mathematics education by revising their school curricula [7][8][9], it is somewhat concerning that an educational policy in its curriculum in South Korea showed reduction in content related to mathematics (to lessen students' academic burden). For instance, students in the U.S. who enter colleges learn regression, Chi-square analysis, one-and two-tailed tests, t-distribution, parameter estimation and margin of error, unbiasedness, and point estimate among others through their AP courses.…”

This study aimed to investigate how mass media in Korea dealt with various issues arising from COVID-19 and the implications of this on statistics education in South Korea during the recent pandemic. We extracted news articles with the keywords “Corona” and “Statistics” from 18 February to 20 May 2020. We employed word frequency analysis, topic modeling, semantic network analysis, hierarchical clustering, and simple linear regression analysis. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the topic modeling analysis revealed four topics, namely “macroeconomy”, “domestic outbreak”, “international outbreak”, and “real estate and stocks”. Second, a simple linear regression analysis displayed two rising topics, “macroeconomy” and “real estate and stocks” and two falling topics, “domestic outbreak” and “international outbreak” regarding the statistics related to COVID-19 as time passed. Based on these findings, we suggest that the high school mathematics curriculum of Korea should be revised to use real-life context to enable integrated education, social justice for statistics education, and simple linear regression analysis.

“…On the other hand, in the educational field, current students are cautiously considering whether they are being provided with a road map for the 'talent of the future society demanding various abilities' (MOE, 2015) and whether their education reflects the rapidly changing social and technological issues. Today's schools need to focus specifically on 'future mathematics topics' like big data, programming, virtual reality, 3D printing, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in order to face the inevitable upheaval of the fourth revolution (Na, Park, Kim, Kim, & Lee, 2018), especially in terms of the direction of mathematics education.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of elementary school teachers and the conditions within which they teach. This study is expected to contribute to the preparation for the new technology demands of our rapidly changing society and the recent changes made to the 2015 Revised National Curriculum aimed at Fostering Creative-Convergence Human Resources in Korea. It is primarily expected to contribute to the application of the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education and Math-Focused STEAM education. For this purpose, we surveyed 273 teachers of 24 public schools in Seoul and Gyunggido area. The results showed that teachers recognized 'convergence' in STEAM education either as an 'integrated approach' in which specific subjects or topics are taught together or as a 'convergent approach' to teach together and further to a new one. In addition, positive responses were shown towards Math-Focused STEAM education in terms of its effectiveness on the education and needs of the students. The most significant problem in terms of the school environment was the lack of preparation time provided, materials, and educational resources. This study is expected to support the increased application of Math-Focused STEAM education in the field, and thus to expand the knowledge embodied in the subject of mathematics.

An analysis of domestic research in the field of mathematics education over the past decades shows that there has been a steady growth in this field of research for both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The main aim of this study is to analyze the trends of domestic research on mathematics education in terms of the publication periods, research topics, research methods, and target research population. In this respect, a total of 4559 research articles dealing with mathematics education in seven professional journals published from 1963 to the present were analyzed. The results of this study showed that the number of articles on mathematics education has been rapidly increased since the 1990s. With respect to the topics, studies on instruction and, learners’ abilities or characteristics have been the most frequent. However, there has been lack of research on assessment and technology, or manipulative materials. With respect to the research methods, analytic study of literature, case study, and survey have been most frequently applied methods. With respect to the target research population, the main participants were either elementary or secondary school students. In conclusion, this paper identifies important implications for future research directions on mathematics education in Korea.
