We examined how the professors in the department of science education perceived the 6th high school science curriculum. A nationwide survey was administered to obtain the responses from 70 professors of 8 educational colleges. Most professors thought that the 'objectives' and the 'contents' were proper, but the 'methods' and 'evaluations' were not proper, if considered educational facilities as well as 'teachers' ability to guide inquiry. Some professors also pointed out that the 'methods' described in the curriculum did not seem to be practical, that the contents were too much for high school science courses, that the integration of the contents in the general science was not enough, and that some concrete guides were needed because the items in the curriculum were too broad.

This study aimed to investigate how science teachers perceived major features of the 2007 revised science curriculum and implementing them in classes. The 2007 revised science curriculum included critical features such as creativity, open inquiry, science writing, discussion and STS. In terms of necessity, clarity and complexity of those features for curriculum implementation, teacher perceptions were examined. Particularly with regard to open inquiry assigned 6 class periods per semester as one of the critical features of 2007 revised science curriculum, we asked teachers how they would prepare and implement the technique in their teaching. In results of this study, science teachers agreed on the necessity and importance of those major features of the 2007 revised science curriculum, including creativity, open inquiry, science writing, discussion, and STS. However, they were not clear on how those would work in their classrooms and expected various impediments. Open inquiry was specifically perceived as most negative in its implementation with the mention of various complex reasons. Based on findings in this study, we proposed the 'Dual Action Research Model' for curriculum implementation. It tries to explain how curriculum is implemented in classrooms and diminish the gaps between curriculum developers and teacher users by means of leading teachers to understand the curriculum meaningfully and implement their teaching based on this understanding.

The present study was to investigate if quality of childcare curriculum implementation could be predicted by educational climate, teachers' professionalism, and teacher/classroom characteristics. According to the results, strong positive associations existed between eudcational climate, professionalism, and implementation of childcare curriculum. The most powerful predictor of curriculum implementation quality was 'respect and acceptance' which was a sub-factor of educational climate. Also, 'public service', a sub-factor of professionalism, explained a significant amount of variances in quality of curriculum implementation. Among teacher/childcare characteristics, the type of centers was one of the strong predictors. These study results provide meaningful implications regarding the importance of socio-cultural contexts in childcare centers as well as teachers'professionalism.

This study surveyed 289 beauty specialized high school students to analyze the relation between beauty curriculum awareness, career education satisfaction, and career decision efficacy. The beauty curriculum was concentrated towards the hair major and technical education for license acquisition, and the career plans were high in employment and college entrance admission. In terms of awareness and satisfaction of the beauty curriculum, nails and entrepreneurship were low (p<0.05, p<0.001), nails were low in career decision efficacy, and makeup and entrepreneurship was low in career education satisfaction (p<0.01, p<0.05). The career education satisfaction was higher as the beauty curriculum awareness rises, and educators had a positive influence on career education satisfaction. The following areas had the positive influence for each section; the school operation and facility area for job information, the curriculum area for future planning and problem solving, and the educator area for self-evaluation (p<0.05, p<0.001, p<0.001). Therefore, it is necessary to improve the curriculum in the majors of make-up, skin, and nails, and effective career education programs should be developed.

This study aims to investigate how the university educational programs about quadratic curves are operated in relation to the high school curriculum and what their effects may be, and the degree of understanding for the prospective and current teachers of the mathematical content knowledge about quadratic curves. To solve this research questions, we randomly selected three universities and one high school. Then we investigated the curricula of each department of mathematics education, compared them with the high school curricula, and conducted surveys of the professors' and students' conception on how much mathematical content knowledge they need to know about quadratic curves. The study resulted in the following conclusions. First, the curriculum on the subject of quadratic curves in the college of education is closely connected to the high school programs. This study's results showed that the college of education's curriculum includes a series of lectures regarding quadratic curves, and that within them, the mathematical content about quadratic curves associated with high school mathematics was thoroughly covered. Also, a large number of students who attended the lecture reported a significant increase in their understanding in regards to the quadratic curves. Second, it is strongly recommended to strengthen the connection between the college of education's curriculum and the actual high school education field. The prospective teachers think that there is a substantial need to learn about the quadratic curves because it is closely connected with the high school curriculum. But they find it challenging to put what they were taught into practical use in the high school education field, and feel that an improvement in this area is much needed. Third, it is necessary to promote, encourage and support the voluntary efforts to expand the range of the content knowledge in quadratic curves to cover the academic content associated with the high school mathematics.
