The present study aims to investigate how teachers evaluate the Korean textbook they use for teaching primary students with multicultural background. Faced with the rich variety of materials available, it is often a challenging task for language teachers to select the most suitable coursebook. It is required that they carry out a detailed and comprehensive analysis of coursebooks and evaluate them with a set of criteria to guide the process. 32 Korean teachers took part in the primary KSL textbook evaluation that aimed to identify improvement areas. They used a pro-forma specified with 51 criteria. The teachers' responses to the questions in the pro-forma were statistically analyzed to draw implications for material evaluation. The findings of the analysis suggest that the KSL textbook for primary multicultural students need to be improved at the internal and external levels. Implications are discussed with focus on material evaluation and development, and KSL teacher professional development by helping them gain good and useful insights into the nature of the textbook, and sensitizing them to features to look for in teaching and learning materials.

As a case study on beginning teachers' teaching professionalism in science-gifted education, we analyzed their teaching professionalism based on pedagogical content knowledge. To do this, we selected 3 elementary and 3 secondary beginning teachers from science-gifted education institutes in the metropolitan area. After their science instructions for science-gifted students were observed, in-depth interviews were conducted. Analyses were conducted with taped videos, researcher's field notes, and transcripts for in-depth interviews. This study revealed that most of the teachers had relatively desirable belief about science-gifted education. However, they tended to have a little deficient practical knowledge about science-gifted students, the curriculum for science-gifted education, science contents, the instructional strategies for science-gifted education, and the assessment in science-gifted education. These results imply that many teachers are likely to have a little deficiency in teaching professionalism for science-gifted students in various aspects, and need to find the ways of improving their teaching professionalism.

This study analyzes the content validity of descriptive tests developed for elementary schools, in order to acquire basic data to improve them. Various descriptive tests were collected and tested for differences in proportions between two-dimensional classification of educational objectives and the level of behavioral objectives. Results show that the descriptive tests developed by elementary school teachers mainly focused on "knowledge" and "understanding," and that content validity for behavioral levels to be low. Nine elementary school teachers were interviewed to understand the result. From the interviews, we found both internal and external factors that cause low content validity. The main internal factors were teachers' ability to make two-dimensional classification of educational objectives, the teachers' consideration of students' level, item level of difficulty, the ease of scoring, and path dependence. The main external factors were curriculum, parents, and administration. Based on the results, we suggested the factors related to elementary school teachers' PCK of descriptive tests.

본 논문에서는 대입수시전형에서 생활기록부 입력은 대한민국 입시를 결정하는 매우 중요한 평가자료이다. 30명의 교사를 대상으로 실시한 설문조사를 통해서 교사들이 생활기록부를 작성하는데 가장 많이 참고하는 자료로는 수행평가 결과물, 발표내용, 보고서, 감상문 등의 학습 결과물(90%), 학생들이 작성한 자기평가서(73.3%), 관찰 평가지(50%)로 나타났으며, 80%(24명)의 교사들이 생활기록부를 작성하는데 고충을 겪고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 교사들이 느끼는 고충의 원인으로는 학생들의 개인별 특성 파악이 어려워 차별성있게 작성하는 것(76.7%)을 가장 힘들어 하였고, 작성해야 할 많은 수의 학생(60%), 문구를 만드는데 대해 부담(86.7%)을 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 이 과정에서 교사의 전문성 뿐만 아니라 기계적이고 반복적인 작업도 많이 요구되고 있기 때문에, 생활기록부를 작성하는데에 도움을 줄 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 고안을 내었다. 교사들 역시 반복적이고 일률적인 생활기록부 작성에 도움을 줄 수 있는 프로그램이 있다면 유용하게 활용할 것이라는 응답이 90%였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 자연어 처리 인공지능 기술을 활용하여 교사들이 생활기록부를 작성하는데 있어 기계적이고 단순한 작업을 도와 주는 프로그램 개발에 대한 연구의 필요성을 제시하였다. 제안하는 프로그램은 학생들의 탐구보고서, 토론, 발표, 감상문 등의 생화기록부 작성 참고자료들을 텍스트로 변환하고 추상요약(Abstractive Summarization)을 통해 교사들이 효율적으로 작성하는데 활용될 수 있도록 설계하였다. 연구 결과 생활기록부 작성 참고자료를 텍스트로 변환하는 것과 추상요약을 할 수 있는 개방형 데이터셋까지는 확보하였다. 추상요약을 구현하는 방법에 대해서는 보다 심도 있는 추가연구가 필요하였다. 이를 통해 교사들이 교육 본질에 더욱 충실할 수 있는 환경을 마련하고, 내실 있는 생활기록부 작성이 공교육 신뢰 제고에 밑바탕이 되고자 한다.

In this study, we analyzed secondary science teachers' needs for mentoring programs improving their professionalism in science-gifted education. A survey was administered to 111 teachers who had experience in teaching science-gifted secondary students in Seoul. Analyses of the results indicated that most teachers needed the mentors' support in science content knowledge, knowledge of beliefs about science-gifted education, knowledge of science-gifted students, knowledge of instructional strategies for science-gifted education, knowledge of curriculum for science-gifted education, knowledge of assessment in science-gifted education, and knowledge of external factors influencing in implementing science-gifted education. Most teachers, especially having the perceptions of lower levels of professionalism, relatively needed more mentors' support in the knowledge of the instructional strategies for science-gifted education and the knowledge of assessment in science-gifted education. Most teachers wanted the mentors' supports for all subcategories of professionalism at the planning stage of the classes, and some did the support for some subcategories at the performance stage and the reflection-evaluation stage of the classes. They also relatively wanted more mentors' support for all subcategories of professionalism through lectures and/or group discussions, some did the support through face-to-face interviews and/or real-time or non real-time online interviews. They variously responded in the suitable ratio of mentors and mentees, and perceived positively the qualities required to mentor as well as the necessary factors for the effective use of mentoring.

This study explores how to implement a learning experience-based professionalism program for a medical students and evaluates its program through effectiveness and usability test. This study aims to provide practical implications for experience-based learning in an undergraduate level. Seventy four first-year medical students enrolled in PDS1(Patient-Doctor-Society 1): professionalism, one-week block (30 hours), one-credit program based on a experience-based learning model. All of the students were given six learning themes and learning resources and supporting tools, and conducted stepwise learning activities; preparation, organization, sharing, reflection and evaluation of experiences. The effectiveness of learning was evaluated by comparing the pre and post results of student's self-assessment on 24 questionnaire items about professionalism. After the course, the students and instructors conducted a usability evaluation of the program through questionnaires or group interviews. Learners' self-assessment results of professionalism such as leadership, self-directed learning, professional attitude, and social accountability all showed significant differences between the pre- and post-test. Satisfaction of the program was distributed to 3.58~3.78 according to items. Instructors and learner interviews confirmed practical usability throughout the course design, implementation and students evaluation. The results of the study showed the feasibility of implementing learning experience-based professionalism program in medical school. This study provides practical implications to develope and evaluate the learning experience-based professionalism program in medical education.

우리나라의 치안상황은 매우 안정적이라는 평가를 받는다. 특히 자정 이후에도 도심의 길거리를 활보하더라도 범죄에 대한 두려움의 수준은 낮다고 할 수 있다. 이는 대한민국 경찰공무원의 노력의 결실로 생각할 수 있으며, 경찰조직내에 우수한 인적자원이 많이 유입될 수록 효과는 더욱 극대화 될 것이다. 2014년 한국직업능력개발원이 고등학생 약 5만여명을 대상으로 희망직업을 조사하였더니 경찰관이 4위를 차지하였다. 이는 경찰조직의 입장에서는 매우 고무적인 현상이나, 이를 뒷받침 하는 결과들은 보다 강화된 선발과정이 필요하다는 것을 반증하기도 한다. 과거 10년전과 비교하여 4위를 차지했던 CEO, 사업가 등은 8위로 밀리는 등 경제불황이 학생들의 직업선택에도 영향을 미치게 된다고 밝혔다. 한 언론매체의 인터뷰 내용에서 고등학교 3학년생이 밝힌 내용은 "공무원이 되고 싶은데${\ldots}$ 공무원은 일이 편하고 미래가 보장되고 덜 잘리니까${\ldots}$하고 싶어요"라는 내용은 우리에게 시사하는 바가 크다고 할 것이다. 이러한 입직지원자들의 변화는, 고도의 전문성과 사명감을 갖추고 공직임무를 수행해야하는 경찰관에게 필요한 지식의 측정은 어떻게 이루어져야 할지 신중한 검토가 필요할 것이다.

This study investigated IRA's 3 standards related to reading instruction and examined the value which can be meaningful to Korean situation. IRA divided reading educators into 7 types and proposed each detailed professional standard through the 'Standards for reading professionals'. The next standard called 'Standards for the English language art' described their direction and content for English language education including reading instruction. The 'Standards for the assessment of reading and writing' aims at the basis to evaluate students' reading ability. The value found through these standards is as follow: IRA's reading professionals standard can be a useful way to define the type of reading educator in Korea. A reading instruction standard like IRA's language art standard can guide reading instruction of Korean libraries in a more systemic and consistent way. A valid evaluation standard to measure students' reading ability can show the possibilities to define the students who struggle with reading and to provide more suitable instruction for them.

Course evaluation serves as helpful information to improve the quality of college education and improve lectures. This study derived the factors through preceding research and FGI to explore the factors that constitute course evaluation and identified the relative importance and priority of the factors through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). For this, it derived five factors and 15 evaluation items as follows. To secure expertise and fairness in the factor development of course evaluation, the researcher conducted a questionnaire surveying students and teachers and collected a total of 20 valid data. The weight of each evaluation item was calculated based on the data that had been verified for consistency. The analysis concluded that students rated class content, class method, class operation, class evaluation, and class plan as the critical factors in the order of importance, while teachers evaluated class content, class operation, class method, class evaluation, and class plan as important, in that order. Based on the results of this study, I hope that various analyses and studies will be conducted to improve the efficiency and reliability of course evaluation for the quality management of college education.
