Pre-service science teacher education is important to elaborate the quality of science teaching and learning in schools. Therefore, many pre-service science teacher education researches have been done in Korea. However, almost no research has comprehensively reviewed those literatures including secondary teacher education context. This study reviewed 410 pre-service science teacher education researches in Korea, from 1995 to 2021 published by 17 journals in KCI. The trends were analyzed with respect to the number of article according to period, keyword frequency, and qualitative features. The qualitative features were coded in multiple aspects of pre-service teachers' type, major, subject-matter in research context, research approach, data type, and the number of participants. The results indicate that the number of research articles has increased by about 40 for every 5-year period. JKASE has published most articles, and the diversity of journals has increased since 2010. Keyword frequency revealed that scientific concepts, science teaching efficacy, nature of science, and other teaching and learning contexts were emphasized. In qualitative features, the most frequent pre-service type was secondary in 'general' science context. For research topic, 'pre-service teacher education program' and 'perception and cognitive domain' were the most frequent. Most of the articles have 'analyzed' the phenomena or consequence of educational issue. Most research was conducted with 11 to 30 participants. These patterns of qualitative features have differed according to period, and types of pre-service teacher. Suggestions for the future pre-service science teacher education research topic were explored, such as policy-administrative research, integrated science teacher education, teacher agency, and environmental education.

The purpose of this study is to grasp pre-service secondary teachers' understanding-realities for Taylor series convergence conceptions and to examine a teaching way using GeoGebra based on the understanding-realities. In this study, most pre-service teachers have abilities to calculate the Taylor series and radius of convergence, but they are vulnerable to conceptual problems which give meaning of the equality between a given function and its Taylor series at any point. Also they have some weakness in determining the change of radius of convergence according to the change of Taylor series' center. To improve their weakness, we explore a teaching way using dynamic and CAS functionality of GeoGebra. This study is expected to improve the pedagogical content knowledge of pre-service secondary mathematics teachers for infinite series treated in high school mathematics.
