This study aimed to investigate beliefs of secondary pre-service teachers in mathematics. In particular, conceptions of teaching and learning were examined, For the purpose of this study, using an instrument, Teaching and Learning Conceptions Questionnaire, developed by Chan & Elliot(2004), a survey was conducted for 86 secondary mathematics pre-service teachers in Incheon area. The results showed that the mathematics pre-service teachers strongly agreed with the constructivist perspectives. In addition, compared to the juniors, the seniors responded more positive in the questions relative to the traditionalist view and the male students agreed more with the traditional conceptions, as comparing to the female students in this study. This study had limitations on the extent of the research site and participant. However, it would provide foundational information about pre-service teachers for teacher educators.

The study was designed to describe the pre service teachers' development of their TPCK throughout the teacher preparation program that integrated technology throughout the program and how they succeeded in teaching with technology in the actual classroom during student teaching. Multiple data sources were used to obtain information toward answering the research questions. Overall, the emphasis of the teacher preparation program in this study in helping preservice teachers to acquire TPCK transformed the preservice teachers' understanding described by the four components of TPCK. However, the diversity of beliefs, teaching, and technology background affected their understanding and development of TPCK throughout the program.

Teacher efficacy influences teacher's own behaviors in class and students outcomes such as achievement, motivation and their own self-efficacy. In recent years, self efficacy and teacher efficacy are becoming more popular in many educational aspects. Teacher efficacy depends on him/her and each tasks and goals. Therefore, we need special instrument for measuring mathematics teacher efficacy. On this study, we derived educationally meaningful factors on mathematics teacher efficacy from previous literature. We developed Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Instrument(MTEI) consisted of 30 items with 6-point Likert scale. The six factors are as follows; mathematics teaching efficacy expectancy, mathematics teaching outcome expectancy, mathematics teaching content knowledge, teacher belief on their own students, the past mathematics learning experience for teacher own, influence from social-cultural environment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the alternative models of seasonal changes that preservice secondary teachers presented using the Lakatosian methodology. Participants included 74 undergraduate students who majored in science education within the college of education. Their responses to these questions revealed students' alternative models were inconsistent with scientific models. A great deal of this apparent inconsistency could be explained by assuming that the students used, in a consistent fashion, a alternative core belief on seasonal changes. This study also discussed the core beliefs and the possible sources held by preservice teachers in order to overcome their alternative models. The sources of alternative models may lie in the contents used in textbooks.

This study examined the effect of simulated instruction activities based on a constructivist teaching approach on epistemological belief, science teaching efficacy belief, and teaching motivation. The RTOP (Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol) played a role to guide preservice biology teachers to obtain insights on current reformed teaching and to further practice teaching based on constructivism. The results indicated that preservice teachers changed their epistemological beliefs toward more sophisticated views, especially for 'simple knowledge'. They also improved their science teaching efficacy beliefs, both personal science teaching efficacy belief (PSTEB) and science teaching outcome expectancy (STOE). In addition, these perservice teachers decreased their scores of extrinsic teaching motivation. The Pearson correlation represented the negative relationship between personal science teaching efficacy belief (PSTEB) and extrinsic teaching motivation. After intervention, the preservice teachers mentioned inquiry, active participation and discussion as ideal science teaching methods and qualifications for science teachers.

수학교육 개혁에서 강조되고 있는 교실 문화의 변화는 교사가 그 개혁 방향을 이해하고 자신들이 지향하는 가치와 우선 순위를 수업에 어떻게 적용하느냐에 달려 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이와 관련하여, 본 논문에서는 문헌을 통하여 교수 방법에 영향을 미치는 교사 변인 (교사의 학습 및 교수 경험, 지식, 신념, 개별인성특징) 및 사회문화적 변인 (문화적 ${\cdot}$ 교육적 규준, 교육과정 개발과 운영, 교사교육, 전문적 모델과 교사공동체)을 찾아내고 이를 기초로 하여 수학 교사의 교수 방법에 영향을 미치는 요소를 질적으로 분석하기 위한 구체적인 개발면담 질문을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to subdivide responsive teaching types proposed in the previous study in order to observe the change in the responsive teaching types in teacher educational programs, and to identify factors that impede changes in responsive teaching types. To this end, an educational program including introduction of responsive teaching, case analysis of responsive teaching, individual assignments and group discussions on facilitator type educational scenarios is provided for chemistry teachers who participated in a chemistry education course established in a graduate school of education. Based on previous research, when the teacher's teaching method was analyzed as evaluator, transfer, guide and facilitatore, a type that could not be classified was observed. In this study, responsive teaching types were added by adding two types: explorer and interpreter. In addition, through individual assignments and group discussion data, we could observe the factors that hinder teachers' responsive teaching changes. The obstacles that impede the change to responsive teaching were classified into teacher factors, student factors, and environmental factors. Among the obstacles, teacher factors include a belief in teacher-led instruction, a belief in the role of a teacher as a transfer of knowledge, a belief that the curriculum should be followed, a lack of understanding of the teacher about students, and a lack of the teacher's ability to lead student-led expansion. The student factor was distrust of the student's competence. Also, as an environmental factor, there was an educational environment such as multi-students class. Effective teacher education on responsive teaching can be achieved only when the perception related to these obstacles can be removed.

This study aimed to analyze the disadvantaged gifted students' affective characteristics and needs. The subjects of this study were 93 disadvantaged gifted elementary and middle school students in Daegu and Kyongsang-Bukdo Providence. The survey questionnaires including learning motivation, beliefs on intelligence, beliefs on academic achievement, interpersonal relationship, family variables, affective characteristics related to science and self-esteems were used to investigate their affective characteristics and needs. The results indicated that the disadvantaged gifted students showed the different characteristics on their intelligence, academic achievement, and family variables compared to those of general gifted students. They showed that they needed the financial and affective supports including transportation and continuous attention to disadvantaged gifted students.

The University of Education trains the teachers who are experts in the education and expects them to achieve the purpose of the education in the field. The goal of this study is to apprehend the characteristics of the belief and the faith of the elementary teacher and of the university student who are preliminary elementary teachers, about the mathematics and the mathematical teaching and learning and also to figure out what differences those belief and faith shows as the year goes by. In order to find the characteristics of the belief and faith, we have set up three research-problems and have found the answers of that by analyzing the replies of several multiple choice questions and essay questions we have invested for. We also have collected several information through the interviews and inspection. As a result, we have analyzed and charted the outcome of the statistical analysis of the answers about each questions and have discussed the remarkable features of those results which showed significant changes in the belief of elementary teachers about the mathematics and mathematical teaching & learning after taking the courses of "Life & Mathematics".

문제 해결이 수학교육의 한 목표로 강조되고 있음에도 문제 해결 지도에 있어서 여러 가지 문제점이 지적되고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이러한 문제점 중의 하나는 문제 해결에 대한 교사들의 이해와 그 역할에 대한 인식 부족을 들 수 있다. 본 연구는 수학적 문제 해결 지도에서 교사의 역할 행동을 비교 분석하고, 교사의 역할 행동이 아동의 활동과 문제 해결에 대한 신념에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 있다.
