Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine public kindergarten teachers' concept knowledge on inclusion education and to compare concept knowledge by teacher types (general teachers with experience of inclusion, general teachers without experience of inclusion, and special teachers). Methods: The subjects, sixty early childhood teachers in public kindergarten, were asked to draw concept maps illustrating their understanding of inclusion education for young children. The collected concept maps were analyzed using the methods utilized by Novak and Gowin (1984) as well as You and Kim (2018). Results: The results were as follows. First, 209 superordinate concepts were shown, and they were categorized into 13 representative superordinate concepts. Second, 1,585 subordinate concepts were shown. Among them, partial inclusion, complete inclusion, and teacher cooperation were frequently used. Third, contents of concept knowledge on inclusion education varied by teacher types. Conclusion/Implications: Discussions were included to support and enhance early childhood teachers' content knowledge on inclusion education for young children with special needs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate middle school Home Economics(HE) teachers' perspective on HE curriculum, their Housing Education Value in Home Economics, and then find out correlations between them. Questionnaire was administered to HE teachers who had experienced teaching Housing content over the whole country through e-mail or face-to-face meeting. 207 data collected from the responses were finally analyzed statistically with mean, standard deviation, percentage, T-test, one-way ANOVA, post verification(Scheffe) and Pearson correlation by using SPSS/WIN(ver. 10.0) program. The results of the study were as follows: First, about Home Economics teachers' perspective on HE curriculum, the existential perspective was the highest, followed by the structural perspective and the traditional perspective. Second, about their perspectives on Housing Education Value, generally the most important thing they value was an aspect of ecology, followed by an aspect of economics, an aspect of Socio-Psychology, an aspect of space planning, an aspect of local environment, an aspect of career education, an aspect of culture, an aspect of housing management and an aspect of housing policy. Third, about the relation between their perspectives on curriculum and Housing Education Value, among 9 kinds of Housing Education Value, the traditional perspective was low associated with only housing management value including to Housing Education Value. However, the existential perspective and the structural perspective tended to be moderately or low associated with most of the values including to Housing Education Value.

The purposes of the study were to identify a comprehensive competency list related to the jobs of nutrition teachers and to compare the competency needs for nutrition teachers and dieticians' competency levels. Job functional areas and a competency list for nutrition teachers were developed based on a review of literature and revised through expert panel reviews. A total of 53 competency statements associated with 11 job functional areas were specified. Questionnaires were distributed to 457 dieticians engaged in school food service and 148 responses were returned (response rate: 32.4%). Excluding incomplete responses, 142 questionnaires were used for data analysis. Approximately half of the respondents were enrolled in an 1-year nutrition teacher certificate program, 25% in a graduate school of nutrition education, and 19% had completed an 1-year nutrition teacher certificate program. The dieticians highly rated requirements of the competencies related to sanitation and employee safety, nutrition counseling, nutrition education, and teaching practices; in contrary, their competency levels for nutrition education, nutrition counseling, and teaching practices were low. Respondents' competency levels were significantly lower than the required competency levels of effective nutrition teachers in all functional areas. A quadratic analysis based on the requirement and self-evaluation of the competencies revealed that priorities of education programs targeting school nutrition teachers or students preparing to be nutrition teachers should be placed on improving competencies related to nutrition education, nutrition counseling, teaching practices, sanitation and employee safety, menu management, and human resource management. These results can be used to develop curriculum materials for basic and continuing professional education for nutrition teachers. It is necessary to review and update competencies regularly to reflect environmental changes in school food service programs.

수학 교사의 지식은 교과내용 지식, 일반 교육학 지식, 교육학 내용 지식, 교육과정 지식, 학습자에 대한 지식, 교육적 내용에 관한 지식, 수학 교육 목표, 목적, 가치에 대한 지식으로 분류될 수 있다. 지금까지 이러한 수학 교사에 대한 지식 종류에 대한 학문적 연구는 뚜렷하게 체계적으로 연구되어지지 못하고 주로 저학년 학생 및 학습자 위주로 산발적인 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 수학교사가 지녀야할 지식은 수학 학습자인 학생들을 어떻게 효과적으로 가르치느냐에 가장 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것이므로 이에 따른 구체적인 조사 연구가 필요할 뿐만 아니라 교사교육 프로그램에 반영되어 효과적으로 능력있는 교사를 양성할 수 있도록 하여야겠다.

컴퓨팅 사고력이나 프로그래밍 체험 및 교육 기회 부족 등으로 인한 자신감 결여와 같은 컴퓨터 학습에 대한 부정적인 태도는 다양한 전공의 예비교사들이 현장에서 소프트웨어를 융합한 교육을 시도하는데 장애요인이 될 수 있다. 안타깝게도 현재까지의 교사양성 교육에서는 ICT 소양 위주의 컴퓨터 교양 교육 외에는 컴퓨팅 사고력이나 소프트웨어 교육에 대해 체험할 수 있는 교육내용이 없는 것이 현실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제에 대한 해결점을 찾아보고자, 예비교사의 교양 과정에 투입 가능한 컴퓨팅 사고력 기반의 웹 프로그래밍 수업 프로그램을 설계하여, 이를 컴퓨터교육 비전공 예비교사의 교육현장에 기존 ICT소양 위주의 수업내용과 비교하여 투입한 뒤, 수업을 통한 컴퓨터 학습태도의 변화 양상을 관찰하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다.

This study focused on how early childhood in-service teachers and pre-service teachers understood the concept of Forest Education. By applying the analysis of conceptual maps, introduced by Novak and Gowin's (1983, 1984), this study examined the number of upper category and subcategories, characteristics, hierarchy, and density of teachers' knowledge of Forest Education. 39 early childhood teachers and 60 pre-service teachers participated in this study. First, in-service teachers put 'nature(forest)' and 'living creatures' in the highest level of knowledge of Forest Education. On the other hands, pre-service teachers put 'the effect of Forest Education' and 'program' as well as 'nature(forest)' in the highest level of knowledge. In-service teachers seemed to construct their knowledge by understanding Forest Education as curriculum or activities such as math, language, music or multicultural education. Therefore they had a tendency to talk more about specific concepts including four seasons, insects, air, or climate change. However, pre-service teachers described 'the interconnectedness between human and nature', 'deep relationship with nature' and 'provision of nature.' This tendency might relate to their prior educational experiences of Eco-centered Early Childhood Education. With regards to the density and hierarchy of knowledge on Forest Education, both groups revealed the relatively low degree of density with average of around 2.00. This result can be interpreted that both groups of teachers might not have strong hierarchical and organizational knowledge of Forest Education. For the teacher education, philosophical background and practical knowledge of Forest Education should be included more.

This study aimed to compare academic passion for science pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) between pre-service and in-service elementary teachers. In addition, a comparison between passion for science subject matter knowledge and passion for science pedagogical knowledge was made for each group of teachers. Participants comprised 182 students from colleges of education and 161 in-service teachers. We analyzed between- and within-subject comparisons for each component of academic passion for science PCK. The results of this study are as follows: First, between-subject comparison demonstrated that, in academic passion for science subject matter knowledge, in-service teachers had a higher passion for "liking" and "importance" than pre-service teachers, whereas pre-service teachers had a higher passion for "time/energy investment" than in-service teachers. In academic passion for science pedagogical knowledge, pre-service teachers had a higher passion for "time/energy investment" than in-service teachers. Second, the within-subject comparison showed that only "harmonious passion" was higher for science pedagogical knowledge than science subject matter knowledge in pre-service teachers. However, "liking", "importance", "time/energy investment", and "obsessive passion" were higher for science subject matter knowledge than science pedagogical knowledge in in-service teachers. The educational implications are discussed.

It is important to explore ways that reinforce teachers' curricular expertise at the school level as the school curriculum autonomy expands. This study investigated teachers' curricular expertise that is required for teachers' professionalism, autonomy, and accountability to cope with the increasing school curriculum autonomy. Teachers in the future school are expected to explore and develop school level curriculum within a given school context. Through literature reviews, domestic and foreign case studies, and survey of teachers, this study examined difficulties in science teachers' exercise of their professionalism on curriculum organization and implementation at the school level. Difficulties in exercising teachers' curricular expertise include lack of actual autonomy in curriculum operation at the school level, inadequate infrastructures, demanding accountability based on students' achievement results, lack of time for reflection, and lack of recognition for teachers as independent curriculum designers. In the conclusion section, a couple of ways to solve these difficulties are suggested including expansion of actual autonomy, activation of teachers' participation in policy decision making, reinforcement of qualitative components in school assessment, diversification of the teacher's career ladder, and activation of teachers' participation in professional learning communities.
