The purpose of this study is to critically examine the relationship between 'academic disciplines', 'subject', 'subject content', and 'subject matter education' as an attempt to explore the meaning and identity of subject matter education. In this study, first, we looked at the origin of the 'separative' perspective, focusing on science education, and the effects of this perspective on the relationship between 'academic discipline', 'subject', 'subject content', and 'subject matter education'. In addition, the relationship between them was examined from 'essential-holistic' perspective. As a result of the study, it was found that the 'separative' perspective has limitations in grasping the organic and overall relationship between 'academic discipline', 'subject', 'subject content', and 'subject matter education'. Therefore, we need to overcome the existing 'separative' perspective in order to go beyond the current horizon. On the other hand, the 'essential-holistic' perspective shows a close relationship that is not essentially separated between 'academic discipline', 'subject', 'subject content', and 'subject matter education'. It is expected as a perspective that can help solve the teacher education problem caused by the 'separative' perspective.

광복이후 우리나라의 역사가 역동적이며 현재도 계속 움직이고 있다면, 수학교육의 역사도 그러할 것이다. 현재의 수학교육은 광복이후 수학교육을 지탱하고 발전시킨 많은 수학교육자들의 노력의 결과라 할 수 있을 것이다. 광복이후 지금까지의 수학교육의 역사 중에서 가장 주목할 만한 일이 수학교육학회의 창립이 될 것이다. 수학교육학회의 창립을 통해, 수학교육의 다양한 연구들, 요구들을 체계적으로 담아낼 수 있었다. 우리나라에서 가장 먼저 창립된 것이 한국수학교육학회이다. 박한식(1993, p.1)에 의하면, '수학교육에 있어서의 세계 각국의 정보를 서로 교환하고, 보급하며, 그리고 수학교육계에 수학교육을 연구하는 분위기를 조성할 필요가 있다고 하는데 인식을 같이 하는 수학교원들이 모여서 한국수학교육회를 만들게 되었고, 창립일을 1962년의 한글날인 10월 9일로 정하였다'고 하였다. 즉 수학교육에 관련된 다양한 연구의 활성화, 수학교육의 세계화를 표방하면서, 한국수학교육학회가 창립되었다. 이때의 창립 주체의 한 분이 박한식 교수였다. 박한식 선생은 창립부터 1992년 8월까지 한국수학교육학회의 회장으로, 우리나라 수학교육계를 이끌어왔다. 본 연구에서는 박한식 선생의 수학교육에 대한 연구논문들을 살펴보고, 이들 중의 몇몇 연구를 분석하여, 수학교육에 대한 박한식 선생의 관점을 살펴볼 것이다

In The Structure of Empire, Karatani Kojin discovers cosmopolitanism as an element of exchange mode D, and according to this, argues that the World Republic needs to sublate(aufheben) sovereign state and this sublation is to recover Empire at higher dimension from a different way of viewpoint. On the strength of this theoretical advance, Karatani Kojin's exchange mode D can embrace reciprocity of freedom, reciprocity of donation and cosmopolitanism as it's elements. But on the way to the World Republic which Karatani Kojin suggests, there still exists a theoretical missing link. This paper argues the missing link is no more than democracy.

The purpose of this study is to critically examine science content and science education from the 'essential-holistic' perspective, in particular, among the core disciplines constituting the teacher education curriculum. In this study, we first, analyzed the definition of the 'essential-holistic' perspective, the philosophical background, and the relationship with the practices in-depth, and then, from the 'essential-holistic' perspective, conducted an inquiry into the essence of science content and science education. The results of this study are as follows: first, according to the 'essential-holistic' perspective, science content is a study that explores the science practices and systematizes the results of that inquiry. Major activities of science content include the establishment and implementation of 'science for teachers' and participation in the development of science curriculum (textbook). Second, science education according to the 'essential-holistic' perspective is a study about in-depth exploration of essential problems in science education phenomena rooted in the science practices and the practice of good teaching. More specifically, science education is a field that carries out work related to inviting, participating, and guiding students to grow into science practices (i.e. initiating into practices). The main activities of science education related to this include activities ranging from the development of the science curriculum (textbook) to teaching and evaluation (recording). In this study, we discussed important tasks to be carried out in the future based on the results of the study.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the science journals written by pre-service elementary school teachers, and to categorize the view on the nature of science and the process of their change. For this purpose, 112 science journals written by 13 pre-service elementary school teachers were analyzed. The frequency of each area was analyzed using the research framework of the four areas of the nature of science, and the pattern of change in perspective on the nature of science was inductively derived and classified using the VNOS-C test analysis framework. As a result, The nature of scientific thinking, nature of scientific knowledge, nature of STS, and nature of scientific inquiry were described in relatively similar proportions, but among them, The nature of scientific thinking appeared in the largest percentage, and the nature of scientific inquiry was described in the smallest percentage. The variability of scientific knowledge, the importance of empirical evidence, and the positive and negative effects of science were especially intensively addressed. In addition, the changing aspects of pre-service elementary school teachers' perspectives on the nature of science could be categorized into 'naive view maintenance type', 'informed view maintenance type', 'regression type', 'development type', and 'mixed type'. The element of 'the empirical nature of scientific knowledge' showed various patterns of change depending on the students, and most of the students maintained a informed view on the tentativeness of scientific knowledge for several sessions.

The study aims to compare between two lectures of elementary mathematics education in United States and Korea based on the Ball et al.'s classification of mathematical knowledge for teaching. The lecturers are a professor of University in United States and me. In both lectures, subjects and contents of lectures are much similar but there are many different things. And the differences are mainly due to the area of pedagogical content knowledge, especially either knowledge of content and students or knowledge of content and teaching. Also the different courses of both universities are one of important causes of the differences. The study will be able to contribute to the studies on the improvement of our course, elementary mathematics education.

The Korean government has been promoting the establishment of comprehensive information systems as one of supports for preschools' administration. This support is expected to enhance the efficiency of preschool education support systems and to improve the quality of educational services. The gap between government's expectation on an introduction of the information system and preschool educators' expectations has also been an issue in deploying this new system. This study identifies user resistance factors for comprehensive preschool administration assistance systems' deployment. We find that the performance expectancy, social influence, effort expectancy, and the psychological cost of user resistance have impacts on the user resistance. When these factors related resistance are resolved in the process of systems' deployment, active participation in these systems by preschool educators would be increased.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the statistical literacy in elementary school students when they beginning inference. Picto-graphs provide statistical information and often data-related arguments they certainly qualify as objects for interpretation, for critical evaluation, and for discussion or communication of the conclusions presented. For research, the inference from pictograph task was designed and statistical literacy standards for evaluating the student's level was presented based on prior studies. Evaluating student's statistical literacy is meaningful in that it can check their current level. To know the student's current level can help them achieve a higher level of performance. The outcomes of this research indicate that pictograph can provide a basis for rich tasks displaying not only student's counting skills but also their appreciation of variation and uncertainty in prediction. Raising statistical thinking by students is an important goal in statistical education, and the experience of informal statistical reasoning can help with formal statistical reasoning that will be learned later. Therefore, the task about the inference from a pictograph, discussions on statistical learning of elementary school children are expected to present meaningful implications for statistical education.

The necessities of a plan for the labor force in the school temporary workers are superior in education practice. In a view of government, a new paradigm and method for them such as employment stability, better treatment and fewer tasks have been sought. However, the information for them is not enough. While seeing the main issue to manage an temporary workers and the feature of the system for them in schools of Holland, Germany and Sweden, this study shows an effective plan for not only the labor force in the school temporary workers and but their skill development. Based on the result of a plan in education office, supporting office, and schools this study proposes the political and institutional method to revitalize the efficient management of an temporary workers in school.

The present study explored a relationship between mathematical understandings of teachers and ways in which their knowledge transferred in designing lessons for hypothetical students from Gess-Newsome (1999)'s transformative perspective of pedagogical content knowledge. To this end, we conducted clinical interviews with four secondary mathematics teachers of their solving and teaching of equation writing. After analyzing the teacher participants' attention to Key Developmental Understandings (Simon, 2007) in solving equation writing, we sought to understand the relationship between their mathematical knowledge of the problems and mathematical knowledge in teaching the problems to hypothetical students. Two of the four teachers who attended the key developmental understandings solved the problems more successfully than those who did not. The other two teachers had trouble representing and explaining the problems, which involved reasoning with improper fractions or reciprocal relationships between quantities. The key developmental understandings of all four teachers were reflected in their pedagogical actions for teaching the equation writing problems. The findings contribute to teacher education by providing empirical data on the relationship between teachers' mathematical knowledge and their knowledge for teaching particular mathematics.
