The effects of education utilizing history of science on science achievement and attitudes of the ninth grade students were investigated according to their achievement level, along with the development of teaching and ;earning materials. A total of 144 ninth grade students were divided into the experiment and control group. Instructing students using history of science was performed in the experiment group, while conventional instruction was used in the control group. The scores of both pre-test and post-test were estimated by ANCOVA. Instructions applying history of science were more effective in increasing the students' science achievement and attitude than conventional instructions. In particular, the former enhanced the achievements of the upper-level students, more than it did for the middle and lower-level students. In addition, using history of science showed a better effect on higher and middle-level students, in improving their attitudes toward science, than it did for lower-level students. This study suggests that the instruction utilizing history of science should be designed based on the students' achievement level, and that various teaching and learning materials related to the instruction were helpful.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the middle science teachers' perceptions on science lessons with experiments. The study conducted a survey for 110 science teachers participating in inservice program. The middle school science teachers taught classes with lectures rather than with experimental activities. They had an experiment one to three times a semester in their lessons. They did an experiment to follow to what the textbook said, or to confirm it, like a cookbook style. The most teachers answered that they had over average ability to teach both lecture and experiment. Through the experiment, they expected students had interests and curiosity on science. Despite the advantages of experiments, there were many constraints to conduct experiments, such as teachers' excessive work, laboratory conditions, education environment, and others. It was demanded on continuous interest and investment in the variation of educational environment so that teachers can experiment more often.

This study examined the needs assessment of in-service education on teaching for school health teachers. The subjects of this study were 504 school health teachers, who were working in G-city and J-do. The data was collected from questionnaires of school health teacher's teaching from Nov. 9 to 23 2013. The data collected was analyzed by frequency analysis and a $x^2$-test. The conclusions were as follows. The first priority of the school health teacher's work is 'management of health problems' and the second is 'health education'. A difference was observed between the school levels (p< 0.01). The teaching methods mainly used on health care instruction were lecturing, discussion and practical training. The teaching materials of health care instruction mainly used were ppt, internet video, and textbooks. Most of health care teachers agreed to creativity education but they used creativity education less in practice. Most school health teachers want to in-service education on teaching and the contents of the course are creativity education or storytelling for new teaching.

This study simulates cases with 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100 students and 6 values as the parameter of mu. Using the simulation, an analysis was made of how the number of students that couldn't concentrate during class increased over the duration of time. When normalizing the difference in student number when the value of mu is constant, there was a decrease in percentage over time. It also showed a change in percentage when the value of time is fixed while the value of mu changes. Based on the result values, by estimating the mu value with the class atmosphere to predict the outcome and improve the lecture.

This study aims to investigate the Convergence effects of a class using action learning on 4C core competencies of college students. A survey was conducted before and after the action learning class with the same questionnaire for some dental hygiene students in Busan. The collected data were analyzed by using the paired t-test with SPSS 24.0 program. As a result of comparing communication ability, critical thinking propensity, creative problem-solving ability, and cooperative self-efficacy scores, the score of each area after the class was higher compared to before the class, and significant outcomes were shown in the sub-factors as well(p<0.001). In conclusion, it was found that the class using action learning affects the 4C core competencies required. It is urgent to change the teaching method to self-directed learning rather than knowledge-oriented learning.

This study investigated six teachers who used the lessons utilizing geospatial technologies including GPS and Google Earth. The lessons were designed to ask students to solve problems with the technologies rather than to teach students to just use technology and teachers to function more as a facilitator. Key findings include: (1) The teachers with background and interest in learner-centered teaching were more effective in implementing the lessons with their students while the teachers who were familiar with teacher-centered instruction often reduced learners' roles in the lesson; (2) Generally, students expressed huge interests in the lessons. Changes in attitude and participation toward lessons were more clearly observed from low achievers and passive learners; (3) Key influencing factors in adoption of lessons utilizing geospatial technologies were school culture toward innovativeness, characteristics of school administrators, learning experience of the lessons during the workshops, and support systems for lesson preparation and implementation.

Recently there has been a high request for support for teachers' professional development and quality control to meet the demand of educational policy to introduce teacher evaluation, master teacher status, incentives for teacher competency, etc. It has been suggested that reeducation and support for professional development would be more effective to beginning teachers with a high developmental potential than to experienced teachers with routinized instruction. Since 2005, KICE-TLC has conducted research on the development of teacher supporting programs such as teaching consultation and pedagogical content knowledge(PCK) in school subjects. In line with the current education policy and previous research by KICE, this research has been conducted to meet the need for novice teacher induction by developing consulting program focused on PCK. The goal of this research was to (1) explore the in-depth meaning of PCK in light of teaching consultation, (2) conduct a preliminary study on how to develop teaching consulting programs for secondary beginning teachers, (3) develop teaching consulting programs focused on pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), and (4) suggest implications for educational policy regarding pre-service and in-service teachers' continuing professional development and support.

The purpose of this study is to explore factores for subject teachers to actively participate in the LBI by establishing a relationship model between the acceptance variable and the variable for LBI and verifying with a structural equation based on the UTAUT model that explains the relationship between the variables that affect the process of accepting and utilizing the new information technology. As a result of the study, first, the performance expectancy and social influence of the subject teachers on LBI influenced the intention of teaching. Second, behavioral intention affected use behavior. Third, there were moderating effects of LBI perceived risk level on the relationship of subject teachers' social influence on LBI to behavioral intention. Based on the results above, performance expectancy, social influence, and perceived risks should be considered for activating LBI of subject teachers.
