As part of developmental research of a student-teaching practicum program, this research analyzed a mathematics preservice teacher's questioning. The practicum program is based on the model of reflective practice in a collaborative inquiry community for learning-to-teach. This paper describes how a preservice teacher's questioning pattern had changed on the program participation and explain how the change in discourse can be considered as an indicator for the pre service teacher's professional development. Suggestions for the future program development are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to develop an inquiry-based argumentation task for use in science teachers' professional development by providing them with the substantial experience of argumentation. To do so, the study has developed an argumentation task by utilizing the experiment on the Charles' Law of gas and revised by applying to eight teachers three times. We have revised the questions by analyzing three issues that have been revealed throughout this process in ways that facilitated teachers' argumentation. The effects of revision have been confirmed by the improvements in teachers' argumentation pattern. Three issues have been identified in developing argumentation tasks for science teachers' professional development and they are as follows: determining the openness of the structure of a question, achieving cognitive conflict and convergence of opinions at the same time, and ways of utilizing various evidence. As the task has been revised in ways that enabled scientific approach to the inquiry topic and facilitated the convergence of various opinions, the participants' argumentation patterns have improved both quantitatively and qualitatively. Meanwhile, the inclusion of an actual experiment has not influence their argumentation, while the observation of experimental data has been used as the core evidence according to the character of the problem. Based on the study's result, we suggest practical implications for developing argumentation tasks for science teachers in more varying contexts.

The technological risk has two major aspects. The one is technological aspect of the risk which consists of rules of nature and rational behaviors of humans. The other is social aspect of risk which consists of human values and nonrational and emotional behaviors of humans. So the technological risks should be called and treated as the technological and social risks. Because of these, not only technological professionals but also public people should have the chance to participate in the management of technological risks.

This study included eleven elementary pre-service teachers who participated in the first and second teaching practices held by J Education College in 2015. After the pre-service teachers were encouraged to self-reflect on their mathematics teaching using a reflective survey sheet of mathematics teaching expertise, their uses of mathematics teaching expertise were analyzed according to the times of their mathematics practice instructions. The results are as follows: First, as the frequency of their mathematics teaching increased, the pre-service teachers' uses of mathematics teaching expertise increased, especially greatly with seven of them. However, the number of subcategories where the teachers' uses of mathematics teaching expertise increased was different from at least two to seven depending on the teachers. Second, the pre-service teachers who performed mathematics teaching practices four times used more of mathematics teaching expertise than those who did two times or three times. Third, some pre-service teachers who taught two or three times never reached 90% of the total score of any subcategory, even in the subcategory where they showed increase in their uses of mathematics teaching expertise. Fourth, the subcategory of 'reflection before class - teaching perspective - understanding of mathematics subject knowledge' was analyzed as the most difficult one for the study participants, and the reason is, they think, that there are not enough materials on the historical back grounds of mathematical concepts.

Inquiry has been consistently emphasized in science education as a crucial element for learning. Although many researchers came to agree on the importance of scientific inquiry, authentic inquiry activities are hard to be actualized in an educational context. Therefore it is required to critically examine what teachers have difficulty in teaching inquiry. In this article, we looked into inquiry-based science activities in a small group setting where pre-service science teachers faced dilemmas between cognition and practice of inquiry. A case study was conducted on eight undergraduate students who are majoring in science education. The participants attended a weekly science program for middle school students in low SES as teaching assistants and mentors, and took full care of his/her mentees during open-inquiry activities. The results were drawn by analyzing participants' personal and group interviews, participant observations, self-reports, and others. The pre-service teachers viewed the knowledge and procedure of science as an essential factor in inquiry activities along with student's spontaneous attitude. However, in the process of performing inquiry, they faced several dilemmas between ideal cognition and real activities. The aspects of dilemmas could be summarized in three pairs of opposing concepts: 'diverging inquiry or converging science', 'interest-centered inquiry or learning-centered inquiry', and 'student as the subject or student with the insufficient expertise.' We discussed ways of resolving dilemmas and alternative perspectives on scientific inquiry.

This study investigated two science teachers' practical knowledge shaped during their science classes which intend to realize social construction of scientific models. The teachers' practical knowledge was qualitatively examined in terms of five content categories defined by Elbaz through the reflection-in-action based on video data of their teaching as well as the reflection-on-action based on their narratives and interview data obtained after their classes. The results shows: 1) two science teachers implemented their practical knowledge on appropriate subject matter knowledge when they provided students with scaffoldings to support building scientific models during the classes. 2) The teachers' knowledge about science curriculum played important roles to change the purposes of the classes from the transmission of difficult science concepts to the construction of scientific model appropriate to learning goals. 3) The teachers' implementation of pedagogical knowledge changed toward supporting students' group activities and model generations aligned to the intention of social construction of scientific models. 4) The teachers' practical knowledge about their 'selves' showed that a teacher's perception and implementation of his/her roles of helper, guide, or facilitator are important for students to construct scientific models through group activities. 5) The two teachers' practical knowledge the milieu of schooling is realized by their modes of interactions with student groups during their classes. Two teachers acted like a co-player with his students or like a coach to students near a playground. We discussed domain-specific characteristics about scientific model construction.

This study sought to investigate the effects of cooperative learning emphasizing interactions on science-gifted elementary students' scientific creativity. Thirty-four science-gifted elementary students were divided into an experimental class and a comparison class to compare their creativity scores quantitatively. The experimental class participated in cooperative learning emphasizing interactions, and the comparison class participated in whole class interactions. For qualitative analysis, the small group discussions were audiotaped and transcribed. The results of the study are as follows. First, cooperative learning emphasizing interactions had a positive educational effect on usefulness, which is one of the essential elements of scientific creativity. Second, as the cooperative learning progressed, the interaction between the small group members improved qualitatively. Third, the factors hindering the effectiveness of cooperative learning included negative task-unrelated statements from some of the small group members and the following operational statements to correct them. Based on these results, this study proposed some suggestions for effective cooperative learning emphasizing interactions.

The demand for private education in Korea is steadily increasing every year, and the participation rate of private education is increasing as the grade goes down. In order to empirically verify the effectiveness of private education, it is necessary to analyze through longitudinal data that has been mainly investigated over a long period of time. This study investigated the longitudinal changes in mathematics academic achievement and participation time in mathematics private education using longitudinal data from 2013 (4th grade in elementary school) to 2017 (2nd grade in middle school) of the Seoul Education Longitudinal Study. The students were divided into groups in which mathematics academic achievement changed similarly as the grade went up, and the effect of mathematics academic achievement was examined according to the change of participation time in private mathematics education for each group. As a result of the study, it was found that the participation time of private math education of all students continuously increased from the 5th grade of elementary school to the 2nd grade of middle school, and the participation time of private math education by group was different. In addition, the effect of private tutoring by group was different according to the group.

본 연구는 우수한 학업 성적을 보이는 재미 한인 영재 청소년들이 민족적 정체감을 어떻게 형성해 나가는지를 알아보는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 미국 뉴욕의 학업영재아를 위한 고등학교에 재학중인 25명의 한인 영재아들을 대상으로 Phinney의 민족적 정체감 평가지가 사용되었다. 민족적 정체감의 평가를 위해 3가지의 민족 정체감 구성요인들이 사용되었는데, 이들은 민족적 자기 정의, 민족집단에 대한 평가와 민족집단에 대한 참여이다. 개방형 문제에 응답을 한 학생들은 두 명의 독립적인 관찰자에 의해, 자신이 정의한 민족집단에 대한 탐구와 헌신의 정도에 따라, 3단계의 민족 정체감 발달 단계로 나누어졌다. 이 3단계 중 첫번째 단계는 자신이 속한 민족집단에 대한 무관심과 낮은 참여도를 보이는 민족 정체감 무관심의 시기이고, 두 번째 단계는 자신의 민족집단에 대한 관심을 가지고 그 집단의 역사와 철학, 문화, 그리고 주류사회 속에서 해당 민족집단의 사회적 위치와 편견 등에 대해 관심과 참여를 보여주는 민족 정체감 탐구의 시기이며, 마지막 단계는 민족 정체감 완성 시기로, 자신을 그 집단의 구성원으로 완전히 수용하면서, 민족적 정체감에 안정된 모습을 보이는 단계이다. 각 민족 정체감 구성요소들과 민족 정체감 발달 단계내의 집단차를 논의하기 위해 ANOVA가 사용되었다. 연구에 참여한 대부분의 영채아들은 자신을 재미아시아인이 아니라, 한국인 혹은 재미동포로 정의하였고, 이러한 민족적 자기 정의는 학생들의 민족집단에 대한 평가도와 참여도에 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 민족집단에 대한 긍정적인 평가는 민족집단에 대한 활발한 참여와 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있었다. 연구에서 나타난 결과들을 바탕으로 재미 한인 영재 청소년들이 높은 자아 존중감을 지닐 수 있도록, 현재 교육현장과 실생활에서 활용할 수 있는 여러 방안들과 함께, 앞으로 필요한 보다 많은 연구를 위한 제언이 제시되었다. 사고력 계발에 보다 충실할 수 있도록 내용의 폭을 넓히고 접근방법을 달리하는 심화 중심으로 교육과정을 구성하고 운영한다고 하였다. 그러나 현재 개발된 교육과정 편성과 운영은 창의성 교육의 구현보다는 압축형 속진 교육과정의 특성이 강하여, 이와 같은 운영지침을 실현하기 어려운 것이 현실이므로 교육과정 편제의 개선이나 운영지침에 적합한 교육내용의 개발이 시급히 이루어져야 할 것이다. 둘째, R&E(Research ＆ Education)는‘연구를 통한 교육’,‘교육을 통한 연구’를 의미하며 과학영재교육과정의 가장 큰 특징이라 할 수 있는 자율연구와 위탁교육을 위한 프로그램이다.여주는 것으로 나타났다.보였다. 5.
