The present study investigated attitudes of preschool teachers toward children's bullying behaviors and relationships between teachers' self-efficacy and attitudes toward children's bullying behaviors. The participants were 176 preschool and daycare center teachers. The results indicated that teachers perceived physical bullying more seriously than verbal or relational bullying. Teachers reported that they would intervene more intensively for children who have been targeted than for bullying children in physical and relational bullying situations. Teachers with high self-efficacy were more likely to perceive physical and relational bullying seriously than were teachers with low self-efficacy.

The aim of this study was to reduce the number of negligent accidents by improving the fire safety consciousness of infant and child teachers working in a day care center. For this purpose, 242 early childhood teachers working in the national nursery school in Daejeon and Chungcheongnam-do were surveyed. For the survey, the questionnaire consisted of job satisfaction, teacher's efficacy, and fire safety consciousness. The survey data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 win program. The factor of job satisfaction and teacher's efficacy had a significant positive influence on the fire safety consciousness of the early childhood teachers (<.05). The teacher's efficacy was found to mediate the relationship between the job satisfaction and fire safety consciousness. In conclusion, this study suggests that teacher's fire safety consciousness is high when the teacher's job satisfaction and efficacy are high. This study is expected to contribute to basic research to increase the teachers' consciousness of fire safety.

To implement effective technology-based education, we need knowledge for functional aspects of technology as well as design and procedural aspects of curriculums. Also, we need positive teaching efficacy. In this regard, we investigate the effects on teachers' TPACK and technology teaching efficacy on mathematics after make the teachers design and teach technology-based classes according to the ASSURE model which is suitable in designing technology-based educations. First, we let the teachers design and teach two unit hour classes. The first class had been done with the teachers learned functional aspects of technologybased educations, and the second one with them designed based on the steps in the ASSURE model. To analyze the effects of ASSURE model, we have performed a case-study for one teacher who had taken part in our college class. As a result, we conclude that the teacher's experiences in designing classes based on the ASSURE model help improve the teacher's TPACK and technology teaching efficacy on mathematics in a positive way.

The purpose of this study is to confirm how keeping a educational diary in which no feedback is given in the teaching practice in kindergartens affects a teacher efficacy and the educational belief of preschool teachers-to-be as well as the organizational health of kindergartens to practice according to the way teachers feel. With this aim, the study aimed at 34 seniors at the Department of Early Childhood Education in the four-year college in Chungnam. The study conducted this experiment using the nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design, and carried out a $x^2$ analysis and a t-test according to the data. Concerning the research results, first, keeping a educational diary of teaching practice affirmatively affected a teacher efficacy. Second, it did not significantly affect a teacher's educational belief. Third, it did not significantly affect the organizational health of the kindergarten to practice according to the ways teachers-to-be feel. This study is meaningful in that keeping a reflective journal in which feedback by a guidance teacher for practice becomes the basic proposition may be replaced with the keeping of a diary of practice at the level of practicality. This means that a teacher's sense of efficacy may improve simply by keeping a educational diary of teaching practice without feedback by a guidance teacher.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of portfolio system on science teaching efficacy beliefs. From Chongju National University of Education, 83 subjects were selected. All of them are college sophomores, and 5 of them are males. The portfolio system developed by the researcher had been administered during the 1st semester of 1999. Korean Science Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument (K-STEBI) was administered before and after portfolio instruction. Some parts of students portfolios were analyzed qualitatively in terms of elementary science teaching confidence. After portfolio instruction, students' science teaching efficacy beliefs increased statistically meaningfully. Elementary science teaching confidence and positive attitudes toward portfolio system also showed marked increase. Portfolio system seems to be effective in fostering pre-service elementary teachers' science teaching efficacy beliefs, and be a powerful tool for teacher education.
