Abstract

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.
