The Knowledge-Based Society in $21^{st}$ century requires innovation in colleges' roles and characteristics. The recent colleges stress researches on industry and school in industrialized society; they try to improve the quality of higher education and to have responsibility of instructing vocational education. However, professors do not have enough opportunities to consider about teaching methods. Thus, during the class, they often fail to demonstrate their actual experience. This is because they have not gained enough chances to improve professionalism of lecture. Therefore, colleges have to provide more opportunities to professors to improve their abilities of teaching. This paper proposes mentoring programs, portfolio, and micro-teaching for improvement of lecture.

The purpose of this study was to develop and apply a framework for progression in the professional development and learning of secondary science teachers' teaching practice. The progression in the professional development was modified Pilhee Woo's framework(2010), and in the learning was developed by the researchers. The former included 6 elements and 36 aspects. The progression of each aspect was composed of five level criteria. The content validity is 96.4% and the reliability is .96. The latter was composed of another five level criteria. The content validity is 96.0% and the reliability is .95. Internet-online test and the questionnaire were administered to 203 secondary science teachers who were selected by convenience sampling. The mean level of the progression in the professional development and learning were 2.21 and 2.95. ANOVA, t-test and correlation analysis were conducted to compare differences by the characteristics of teachers. The level of the progression in the professional development and learning was significant difference according to almost all of teachers' characteristics. The level of the progression in the professional development was significantly correlated with the level of the progression in the learning.

The purpose of this study is to survey the need of in-service education for the professional development of middle school science teachers' teaching practice. The questionnaire was modified by Young Choi's framework(2010) to survey the level of the progression in the professional development and learning, the degree of in-service education necessity, and the degree of priority of need. The questionnaire was administered to 203 middle school science teachers in Daegu. The mean level of the progression in the professional development and learning were 2.45 and 3.15. The degrees of in-service education necessity to improve level of the progression in the professional development and learning was 3.45, and 3.16. The element and aspect highest degree of priority of need were 'element 1. planning coherent sequences of lessons' and 'aspect 1-4. planning difference among individuals', 'aspect 1-2. planning learning activity'. The degree of in-service education necessity and the degree of priority of need was a significant difference according to almost all of the teachers' characteristics.

The purpose of this research is to investigate ways to introduce mentoring system to support beginning and experienced teachers for their professional development. As an alternative to existing teacher training programs, we planned and implemented a mentoring system to examine its effects in developing professionalism among teachers-in-need, and those who have not met the teacher's evaluation standards. Mentoring is defined as being concerned with promoting the 'development of an individual to his/her full potential,' both professionally and personally. It is linked with professional and career development, and is somewhat characterized by an 'expert-novice' relationship. The mentoring system in science features group mentoring, where 3 prot$\'{e}$g$\'{e}$-mentor teams gathered together for instructional consulting using their videotaped classroom teaching. Through video-based discussions, teachers could share reflective experiences through collaborative investigations based on evidences revealed in classroom teaching videos. Using open-ended interviews with the teachers and video-based discussions, we extracted needs and goals of mentoring, the need of mentoring system to support beginning teachers, and the requirement of mentor quality in light of mentor's expected roles. Conclusions and recommendations related to teachers' mentoring and for the government's development of mentoring system are discussed.

This study is to establish the items on instructional evaluation based on the teacher's practical knowledge in mathematics educations. Namely, this study deals with the items on how pre-service or in-service teachers reflect and revise their own or peer's class. To accomplish this, first of all the items on instructional evaluation was developed by researchers of this study on the basis of the results of two previous study. One is the literature of Elbaz(1981) and the other is the literature of Hwang(2013). Elbaz(1981) defined the definition of practical knowledge and five sub-domains of the practical knowledge. On the other hand, Hwang(2013) defined the teacher knowledge in mathematics education and four sub-domains of the teacher knowledge. According to these four domains, Hwang(2013) developed the items on the instructional evaluation in mathematics class. From now on, based on these two study, this study was to develop the items on the instructional evaluation involving the practical knowledge. Futhermore, the final and ideal items on the instruction would be established through the reflection and comments of professionals such as mathematics teachers, professors, and researchers.

Smith(2001) calls for practice-based professional development for teachers of mathematics. This paper discusses laboratory class as a model for conducting professional development program for a group f elementary school mathematics teachers. The laboratory class seeks to promote teachers' generative growth (Carpenter & Levi, 1999) and all the core and structural features (Garet, Porter, Desimone, Birman & Kwang, 2001) of a professional development are also engaged in this program and the ultimate goal is for teachers to be reflective in their practices to be generative (Carpenter & Leher, 1999) in their teaching and learning. This paper also discusses the design of the laboratory class based on the principles of reflective thinking and psychological observation by Dewey to connect theory with practice.

사회 패러다임의 변화는 교육 패러다임의 변화를 요구하며, 교육 패러다임의 변화는 교사의 역할도 함께 변화할 것을 요구한다. 현대 사회는 많은 지식을 습득한 인재를 양성하는 것보다, 지식을 습득하는 방법과 습득한 지식을 활용하여 문제를 효과적으로 해결하는 인재를 양성할 것을 요구하고 있다. 따라서 교사는 현대 사회가 요구하는 학습자를 양성하기 위하여 지식 전달자의 역할에서 문제 해결자를 양성하는 역할로 탈바꿈해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 교사는 학습자가 교과에서 반드시 학습해야 하는 개념과 원리를 깊이 있게 이해하고 이를 활용하여 문제를 해결할 수 있도록 안내하는 역할을 해야 한다. 이러한 점에서 볼 때 프로그래밍은 교사의 수업 전문성 향상을 위한 훌륭한 도구이다. 프로그래밍은 교사가 원하는 교수 학습 자료나 추상적인 내용을 시각적으로 확인하는 자료, 혹은 사람의 사고 능력으로 해결하기 어렵거나 시간이 오래 걸리는 문제들을 해결하는 자료 제작을 지원함으로써 학습자의 깊은 이해를 유도할 수 있다. 따라서 수업 전문성 향상을 위한 프로그래밍 교육 실천함으로써 교사가 사회에서 요구하는 인재를 양성하는 임무를 충실히 수행할 수 있도록 해야 할 필요가 있다.

A school library is an institution that supports the school's educational objectives through various educational activities based on information resources, and teachers' perception is essential to connect resources and users. However, most studies have been conducted based on the self-perception of teacher librarians. This study aims to understand the effect of teachers' experience of library programs and cooperative classes with the school library on their perception of the school library roles and librarian teachers' professionalism. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 78 teachers at eight national and public high schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, and the results were statistically analyzed using factor analysis and regression. As a result, it was found that the teachers' experiences affect their perception of the school library's roles, especially informational, educational, and cultural roles. Also, the teachers' experiences affect their perception of librarian teachers' educational support and library expertise. Based on the results, considerations in school library programs and cooperative classes were suggested to improve teachers' perception of the school library roles and librarian teachers' professionalism.

The aim of this study was to analyze the changing process in a middle school teacher's discourse capability through reflection to lessons, thereby providing the implications for activities to improve the quality of lessons. To that end, this study explored the characteristics of change in the teacher's discourse capability of promoting students' participation while the teacher repeated instruction implementation and meeting for reflecting the implementation. Through the reflection, the teacher noticed his own matters about dealing with the students' responses and presentations. By attempting to address the matters in the instructions and reflecting the attempt, the teacher was able to accelerate the students' participation in the lesson discourse through enhancing productivity and openness of the discourse. The result of this study demonstrated that lesson reflection beneficially influenced development of teaching profession related to discourse capability.
