This study examines the breadth and depth of knowledge of the teacher employment test for secondary mathematics. For the breadth of knowledge, we attempted to figure out the range of knowledge in terms of the content areas using the standards from the Korea Society Educational Studies in Mathematics[KSESM](2008). For the depth of knowledge, we chose Anderson & Krathwohl(2001) framework to analyze levels of each item in the test. The results from the analysis of 180 items in the teacher employment test between 2014 and 2021 show that while items in mathematics education have considerable variation in terms of range and levels of knowledge, those in some subjects of mathematics can be found only certain level of knowledge. i.e., merely certain topics or levels of knowledge have been heavily evaluated. Thus, considering the breadth and depth of knowledge teachers should have, the current exam needs to be improved in terms of teacher knowledge. It does not mean that every topic and every level of knowledge should be evaluated. However, it is a meaningful opportunity to think about what kinds of knowledge teachers should have in relation to K-12 mathematics curriculum and how we can evaluate the knowledge. More collaborative effort is inevitable for the improvement of teacher knowledge and teacher employment test.

Elementary school teacher selection test has to be implemented for knowledge(MKT) to estimate and to be a step in the expansionary direction. For this, It has to be analyzed closely in terms of teacher's MKT first that questions set from selection tests until now. In this research, some standards were established by type of question, grade, contents field and subject from 84 mathematics questions set at examinations. And it was analyzed concretely by general tendency and produced the results of analysis related to elementary teacher's MKT in elementary school teacher selection test since year 2000. The results showed that descriptive and short answer type was mostly set(71.4%) in type of question and integrated grade type was mostly set(41.7%) in type of grade in elementary school teacher selection test. And in type of contents field, rated from highest to lowest, number and operations(31.0%), measurement(23.8%), figure(15.5%) were set. Textbook/manual(34.5%), solution of problem(26.2%), learning psychology(13.1%) in status of subject were followed in order, but there's no relationship with estimation. This research was based on a standard of precedent study and made an analysis of elementary mathematics questions of selection test since year 2000. Therefore, it has a meaning because of produced results from analysis related to elementary teacher's MKT.

The purpose of this study is to analyze what kinds of science education theories are targeted in the "Examination for Appointing Secondary School Science Teachers (EASST)." For the analyses, we extracted the contents related to the science education theories in the question items of the EASST of 2008 through 2012, and categorized those theories into science curriculum, history of science and philosophy of science, scientific inquiry, theory of teaching and learning, model of teaching and learning, and assessment. The results of this study indicated that the theory of teaching and learning appeared most frequently and there were high proportions of question items related to the following topics: contents in science curriculum, scientific method, contemporary philosophy of science, process of inquiry, Ausubel's theory, learning cycle model by Lawson, cooperative learning, criteria of performance assessment, and etc. While we, as science educators, believed that the other categories such as 'history of science' provides important topics for pre-service science teachers, questions items dealing with those were rarely found in the past EASSTs. As EASST has strong influences on the professional developments of pre-service science teachers, more research should be pursued on how much and what domains of science education theories would be appropriate for the test.

This study aims to analyze the mathematics items of the 2013-2024 elementary school teacher employment tests in order to identify the knowledge and characteristics required to teach mathematics, and discuss the future direction of improvement of the elementary school teacher employment tests. By using the revised analytical framework of TEDS-M, we found that the proportion of MCK and MPCK differed from year to year and MPCK was relatively dominant. We also observed that the items were heavily focused on particular knowledge domains, cognitive processes, and levels within MCK and MPCK, and a shortage of items desigend to asseess knowledge in the field of assessments and the ability to engage in higher-order thinking. The results from this study suggest the future direction of improvement of the elementary school teacher employment test to evaluate teacher knowledge and ability necessary in an increasingly diverse society.

The purposes of this study are to compare practical ability of vocational education high school, investigate effectiveness of recruitment practical examination, and provide basic data that can be helpful to recruit teaching staffs of occupational training institution in the middle stage and strengthen practical guidance capability of teacher through the analysis by variables of teacher's background. To achieve them, concrete capability areas related to practical ability were conceived and differences of new teacher's abilities were compared between area that fulfilled recruitment practical examination and areas that didn't fulfill. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, practical abilities among specialized subject teachers of vocational education high school were compared by existence of vocational education high school teacher recruitment practical examination. As a result, the average of practical ability of the group who was fulfilled by recruitment practical examination was somewhat high in all of 5 sub-areas for practical ability, but wasn't significant statistically. Second, the differences of practical ability by background variable among specialized subject teacher of vocational education high school were compared. As a result, the group who possesses national technology licence, existence of short-term teaching career, teaching course completion form of open teacher training showed higher average and it showed significant differences statistically.

The quality of school education is a key element for national education development. An important factor that determines the quality of school education is qualities of teachers who are in responsible for school education in the field. Therefore, it is necessary to hire competent teachers in the teacher appointment exam for the secondary school. This necessity is evident especially for vocational high schools and Meister high schools with the introduction of 2015-revised curriculum based on NCS that separates each three subjects, "Electrical, Electronics Communication" resulting in the change of question mechanism, which requires new designing of assessment and content area. So, this study analyzes curriculum in college of education for "Electrical", "Electronics", "Communication", 2015-revised curriculum based on NCS and the development of standards for teacher qualifications and assessment area and evaluation of teaching ability in the subjects of the teacher appointment exam, "Electrical, Electronics Communication" Engineering" in 2009. The assessment area and content elements of "Electrical", "Electronics", "Communication are extracted from the analyzed results and they are verified by experts' consultation and presented as follows; First, the assessment area and content elements of the "Electrical" subject were designed to evaluate the NCS - based 2015 revised curriculum by presenting the NCS learning module to the evaluation area and content element in the basic subject "Electrical and Electronics Practice". Second, the section of "Electronics" presented the assessment area and content elements applying the Electronic Circuit, basic subject of the NCS and it also added "Electromagnetics", which is the basic part of Electronics in the Application of Electromagnetic waves that could be applied to the assessment. Third, the assessment area and content elements of "Communication" consist of the communication-related practice that is based on "Electrical" and "Electronic", considering the characteristics of "Communication Engineering". In particular, "Electrical and Electronics practice" which adds network construction practice and communication-related practice makes it to be able to evaluate the communication-related practical education.

The purpose of this study is to examine science education researchers' views on what and how much science educational theories would be needed for pre-service science teachers, and to investigate the relationship between their views and the Examination for Appointing Secondary School Science Teachers(EASST). For this study, the views of science education professors on science education theories have been analyzed in terms of their priorities for contributing to the improvement of science teacher competency and literacy. Their views have been compared with proportions of questions related to science education theories of the EASST in terms of what kinds of science education theories have been used for solving each item. As results of this study show, they have perceived that more essential things are needed for the improvement of science teacher competency and literacy including science inquiry process, methods of experimental equipments and tools, laboratory safety, misconception of students, discussion, writing, evaluation of scientific knowledges, and evaluation of scientific inquiry ability other than science philosophy, changes of science curricula, science curricula of foreign countries, Bruner's instructional theory, Karplus's Learning Cycle model, generative learning model, discovery learning model, and Klopfer's taxonomy of educational objectives. There is a higher proportion of questions related to science curriculum and Ausubel's learning theory in the EASST. They are hardly correlated with science education professors' selections of science educational theories for EASST questions. This study advocates the needs of exploring a new method of narrowing down the gap between science educators' opinions and questions of ESSAT in terms of science educaiton theories.

The purpose of this study is to analyze science subject items in the first screening stage of the elementary school teacher employment examination based on pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and provide suggestions for improving the items. For this purpose, an analysis framework to analyze the items was developed and a total of 14 unit items between academic years of 2013 and 2019 were analyzed according to the analysis framework. The analysis of the results reveal that 'subject matter knowledge' of the five PCK components was most frequently included in the items. 'Instructional strategies and instruction for science education' was also frequently included although less than that of the previous component. However, 'assessment in science education', 'students', and 'curriculum for science education' were a little included. There were also assessment domains and contents which were not involved in the items. In the aspects of integration, the integrations between two components of two types were frequently found. No integrations were also frequently included although less than the previous category. The integrations among three or four components were also slightly found. Integrations among five components were not found. 'Subject matter knowledge' or 'instructional strategies and instruction for science education' with other components were more frequently found. However, the integrations of 'assessment in science education', 'students', and 'curriculum for science education' with the other components were less frequently found. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.
