The purpose of this study was to investigate science teachers and secondary students' perception of pseudoscience. Subjects were 491 secondary students and 65 science teachers who enrolled in secondary schools located in Korea. The instrument of this study was a questionnaire which consisted of 33 items on 7 domains: fortune and fate, parapsychology, spiritual beings, alternative medicine, UFO and mystery, creationism, and introduction of the pseudoscience concepts in science education. The results suggested that it is necessary to develop science education programs focused on the pseudoscience for secondary students and science teachers. Media such as television, movie, and books should provide a well-organised scientific programs.

This study purposed to analyze how teacher experience of instructional change (EIC), teacher morale (TM), and school climate (SC) mediate or moderate the relationship between teacher efforts on instructional improvement (EII) and teacher efficacy (TE). For the purpose, the 6th year data of Gyeonggi Education Panel Study (GEPS) which was administered in 2017 for the 9th grade students and their teachers from 197 middle schools in Gyeonggi Province was used. As results, the mediation effects of EIC on the link between EII and TE was found only under the innovative climate. The moderation effects of TM on the connection between EIC and TE were appeared in both of the permissive and the innovative climate. Finally, the moderated mediation effects of the TM in the innovative climate were bigger rather than in the permissive climate.

채 10년도 안되는 기간동안 학교도서관은 천국과 지옥을 오가고 있다. 2002년부터 교육인적자원부(현 교육과학기술부) 주도로 시작된 '학교도서관활성화사업'을 통해 낡은 학교도서관 시설은 현대식으로 바뀌었으며, 교원으로서 사서교사는 1998년부터 지속적으로 현장에 배치되었고, 2007년 "학교도서관진흥법"이 제정되면서 나름 학교도서관에 대한 구체적인 법적 관심을 받았다. 먼지 쌓이는 교실 한 칸도 되지 않던 창고같던 학교도서관은 늘어난 장서와 PC를 포함한 다양한 IT 기기, 편안하게 책을 읽을 수 있는 교구 등을 갖추면서 나름 도서관답게 바뀌기 시작했던 시기이다. 학교도서관 운영의 주체성과 자율성을 가질 수 있는, 많지는 않더라도 교사라는 지위로 사서교사가 전국의 초 중등학교에 지속적으로 배치되던 시기이기도 하다. 도서관 관련 법에서 늘 구석에 있던 학교도서관은 "학교도서관진흥법" 및 시행령이라는 단독법안으로 제정되어 법리 상 관심을 받던 시기였다. 여기에 더해 책 읽기에 대한 관심이 커지면서 학교도서관을 중심으로 다양한 책읽기 프로그램 등이 운영되고 나름 학교도서관이 활성화되는 것 같았다. 하지만 화려하게 바뀐 학교도서관은 자격이 있는 인적자원 배치와 지속적인 장서의 공급 등을 통해 유지되기보다는 운영시간 연장 등 시설 자체의 운영에 초점이 맞춰지는 시기로 바뀌었다. 98.6%에 이르는 학교도서관 설치 대비 46% 밖에 되지 않는 인적자원의 배치 현황, 그나마 학교도서관에 배치된 인적자원의 14.7%만이 정규직 사서교사, 사서(직원)이라는 현실은 안정적이고 지속적인 인적자원 배치에 대한 기대를 더 이상 할 수 없는 어려운 시기로 바뀌었음을 보여준다. 단독법안으로 학교도서관의 진흥과 활성화에 기여할 것으로 기대했던 "학교도서관진흥법"은 학교도서관 관련 시설, 인적자원, 운영에 대한 분명하고 명확하지 않은 법조항 때문에 관점에 따라 다양한 해석을 할 수 있어 오히려 학교도서관의 발전을 저해한다는 일부의 비판도 받았다.

This study aimed to investigate and compare perceptions of middle and high school mathematics teachers on assessment. For the purpose, we developed and used a survey consisting of two parts(importance/performance on assessment and general opinion on process-based assessment). We gathered data from 188 middle school and 125 high school mathematics teachers in Incheon area. An Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA) method was used for data analysis. As results, middle school mathematics teachers showed higher perception on both importance and performance in almost all area on assessment than high school teachers. In addition, research results based on teaching experience indicated that mathematics teachers having more teaching experience seemed to perceive high importance-high performance and low importance-low performance tasks more than mathematics teachers having less experience. In particular, middle school teachers recognized many low importance-high performance tasks according to their teaching experience. The IPA gave us different results depending on the school size. The larger the school, the more diverse opinions appeared tasks in low importance-high performance. From the general opinion on process-based assessment, the middle school mathematics teachers also seemed to have more positive perspectives and to be more active in assessment than high school mathematics teachers. Finally, we discuss implications for future policy formulation and implementation on process-based assessment.

This study aimed to investigate beliefs of secondary pre-service teachers in mathematics. In particular, conceptions of teaching and learning were examined, For the purpose of this study, using an instrument, Teaching and Learning Conceptions Questionnaire, developed by Chan & Elliot(2004), a survey was conducted for 86 secondary mathematics pre-service teachers in Incheon area. The results showed that the mathematics pre-service teachers strongly agreed with the constructivist perspectives. In addition, compared to the juniors, the seniors responded more positive in the questions relative to the traditionalist view and the male students agreed more with the traditional conceptions, as comparing to the female students in this study. This study had limitations on the extent of the research site and participant. However, it would provide foundational information about pre-service teachers for teacher educators.

There are many activities that open source software can using at several areas from the government. It enforces the open source software demonstration activities with different meaning link It is an evaluation field whether or not using the open source software in information projects. But the public information and the education against the open source software are insufficient to the middle and high school students who are be latent open source software users. In this paper, I present an examination and analysis of the open source software understanding of the middle and high computer subject teachers in Korea. This research results could be applied with the place fundamental data which searches a program which revitalizes the open source software education from the middle and high school.

This study intended to examine the effects of each factor on teacher efficacy. A questionnaire survey was administered on 225 home economics teachers in middle school in Gyeonggi-do, and a total of 194 copies of the questionnaire excluding poorly filled-out 31 copies were used for the final analysis. A questionnaire in a self-administering design was used to collect data on individual characteristics, teacher efficacy, self-esteem, development of expertise, and educational environment of school perceived by the middle school home economics teachers. The findings of this study are summarized as follows; First, there were significant differences in teacher efficacy according to age, education and service years. Second, significant differences were found in teacher efficacy according to self-esteem, development of expertise and educational environment of school. That is, the more positive self-esteem, development of expertise, participation of parents, characteristics of students and other teachers, and teachers' perception about teaching-learning aids were, the higher home economics teachers' efficacy became. Third, the study revealed that teacher efficacy was influenced by development of expertise, educational environment of school and self-esteem. Considering these results, positive self-esteem of teachers, practical teacher training, expansion of self-development training opportunity, aids from educational authorities in terms of money and time are needed to improve teacher efficacy of home economics teachers. Efforts should be made to help teachers have positive attitudes toward parents, students, and other teachers.
