The purpose of this study is to explore how a mathematics teacher's beliefs about mathematics and teaching and learning and mathematics and how such beliefs are related to her knowledge manifested in her mathematics instruction. The study illustrates images of teaching practice of an American mathematics teacher in middle grades mathematics classrooms. Results suggest that the teacher seems consistent in teaching in terms of her beliefs about mathematics and learning and teaching mathematics in some degrees. In particular, the teacher's beliefs affected the ways in which mathematics teacher organized and structured her lessons.

The purpose of this study was to survey junior high school teachers' and students' perceptions on the science textbooks. Subjects of this study were 113 science teachers and 715 students from junior high schools in Daegu and Kyungpook area. As statistical method, one-way ANOVA and t-test were used to check differences of the perceptions between teachers and students. Teachers had different perceptions by school location and class size, while students had different perceptions by school location, co-ed, class size, and grade level. Both teachers and students having the relativistic viewpoint on textbook knowledge regarded the knowledge as relativistic one, and preferred the student-centered textbooks. Teachers liked textbooks written by the student-centered view more than students did. Teachers had the more absolutistic viewpoint on textbook knowledge and on teaching, while students liked the electronic textbooks more than teachers did.

This study pilot tested a researcher-designed instrument based on National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' problem solving standard and middle school teachers' beliefs about teaching problem solving. One hundred twenty four teachers' responses were analyzed. The instrument was validated and found to be reliable. The study found that females and males have significantly different beliefs about teaching problem solving. Age of the teacher did not appear to affect the teaching of problem solving.

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 aims to deeply understand and analyze the meaning of the various conflict experiences experienced by middle school physical education teachers in the physical education field through a phenomenological method and to explore the essence of it from an educational perspective. Regarding the research method, the research participants were four current middle school physical education teachers, and this study was conducted using Colaizzi's phenomenological research method, one of the qualitative research methodologies. The research results are as follows. First, general conflicts were categorized into student guidance and human relationships as conflicts between teachers and students. Second, job conflicts were categorized into teacher culture and communication as conflicts between teachers and teachers. Third, relationship conflicts were categorized into role expectations and power exercise as conflicts between teachers and parents. In conclusion, by analyzing in-depth the aspects of conflict experienced by middle school physical education teachers, it is necessary to effectively resolve various conflicts and, in particular, create a more positive educational environment by minimizing conflicts in the educational field.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the professional level of the Korean non-physics major middle-school science teachers in 'force and motion' content knowledge. For the study, nine science teachers who majored in chemistry, biology, or earth science were sampled from middle-schools in a big city in Korea. The physics concept test-tool (subjective type), which the authors developed, were administered, and then followed by in-depth interviews. The research findings are as follows: Firstly, non-physics major science teachers' correct answer rate in physics knowledge test of secondary school level was not so high that they may have difficulty in teaching correct concepts in physics to middle-school students. Secondly, some teachers show that they can not apply some physics concepts from one to another situation. That means that they may have difficulty in teaching physics conceptual application in various situations to students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate elementary and middle school teachers' perception and the need for the application of 2015 revised science curriculum. Four hundred and sixty-eight elementary school teachers and four hundred and twenty-two middle school teachers were surveyed. The results of the research are as follows. many elementary and middle school teachers responded that major changes in the 2015 revised curriculum were applicable in school science education. However, they expected that the lack of teaching and learning materials, lack of experiment preparation time, and lack of their understanding about how to improve the scientific core competencies and how to use the content system were major difficulties in applying the major changes in the 2015 revised science curriculum. They also thought that teaching and learning materials were needed in order to apply the 2015 revised science curriculum. Based on these results, this study suggested content for teacher training, the role of teachers, and formation of a teacher community.

이 논문은 중학교 기하 영역의 수업에 대한 학생들의 성취도가 낮은 것을 관찰하고, 그에 대한 고민으로 교육과정을 분석하고, 수학교육의 질적 접근을 위한 교수 실험을 통해 실제 중학교 과정에서 운용되는 논증기하 교육의 문제점과 그 대안을 탐색하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 교사가 반드시 갖춰야 할 지식으로 Shulman(1986)이 제시한 교과 내용 지식과 교수학적 내용 지식, 그리고 교육과정 관련 지식을 받아들였으며, 중학교 기하 영역에서 이런 지식을 갖추기 위해 교사가 폭넓은 고민을 하여 수업의 개선점을 찾는 과정을 보여주고 있다. 연구를 통해서 학생들에게 명제를 지도할 때 주의할 점과 학습자에게 증명을 하도록 제시하는 방법상의 문제점, 그리고 이등변삼각형의 지도에서의 그 증명이 갖는 의미를 잘 이해하여 학생들에 증명 학습에 진정한 도움이 될 수 있는 방향을 탐색하였다. 그리고 절차만을 학습시키는 현행 작도 수업을 개선하기 위한 여러 시도와 등변사다리꼴의 학습에서와 같이 학생들이 수학 용어를 되돌아보는 수업이 필요성을 탐색하여, 많은 교수 실험을 통한 교육과정의 바람직한 개정을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze inquiry tasks of textbooks in middle schools social studies under the information literacy process and find out teacher librarians' educational information service on the side of information literacy education. Results of the analysis show that middle school students who carry out the inquiry tasks of social studies should select sources, seek its' related information and create their products through writing reports or presentation. Compared with information literacy process of the "Library and Information Skills", the First step of task definition and figuring out information needs and the Third step of representation of information are being implemented. For this reason, teacher librarian could reduce social studies teachers' burden of class and promote students' inquiry activities by teaching skills of suitable materials seeking strategies for solving their task, understanding and synthesizing the information and evaluating their process and result. Therefore, it is necessary to activate collaborative teaching between the teacher librarian and the social studies teacher based on the information literacy.
