This study aims to explore mathematics teachers' pedagogical design capacity. For this purpose, we googled and collected 327 lesson plans for middle-school mathematics and investigated how mathematics teachers plan and design their mathematics lessons through the format and structures, objectives and mathematical tasks, anticipation for students' thinking, and assessment and technology use. The findings from the data analysis suggest as follows: a) all the lesson plans are structured in a very similar way; b) the lesson plans seem to be based on the textbooks exclusively, that is, the mathematical tasks and flow is strictly followed and kept in the lesson plans in the way the textbooks suggested; c) the lesson plans do not include any evidence of what teachers anticipate for students' thinking and would do to resolve the students' issues; and d) the lesson plans do not contain any specific plans to assess students' thinking processes and reasoning qualitatively, and not intend to use technology in order to promote effective teaching and meaningful understanding.

Authentic programming environment makes App Inventor interesting educational programming language. However, there are not sufficient studies for usefulness of App Inventor as educational programming language, so proper design of App Inventor education is not available. This article aims to design proper programming education plan using App Inventor. A survey was conducted to ask for appropriation of App Inventor education to teachers and students. As a result, teachers and students were satisfied with App Inventor for programming language in elementary and secondary schools, due to easy-to-use programming environment and real product run in their devices. But learners need to have prior knowledge to use App Inventor and teachers have to manage learners' devices properly. Finally, revised elementary and secondary programming education plan using App Inventor was presented.

In this research, we investigated the effects of mathematics education in using Socrates , method in a course of mathematics education in teacher's college. And we proposed some suggestions for education of future mathematics teachers. This study was conducted with 44 university students(third grade) who entered the department of mathematics education (future mathematics teachers) in 2005. We took a course in curriculum that was required for the future mathematics teachers in my department. In this course, we began with the reading the famous dialogue between Socrates and Meno's slave. And we analysed Socrates' questioning of Meno's slave and tried to understand what this dialogue is implicating in mathematics education. All the participants in this course was divided 11 groups. Each group designed a school mathematics class plan using Socrates' method and practiced their teaching plan by a performance(students' announcements). Through the analysis of research data. Five effects of mathematics education in using Socrates' method for future mathematics teachers were induced. Therefore, we suggest that future mathematics teacher need to have many opportunity to design and practice a mathematics teaching plan by using mathematics teaching-learning methods taught in their course.

In this paper, we conducted a case study for lower grade elementary school students by modifying and applying lesson plan of CS Unplugged v4.1. Software education was introduced in the 2015 revised national curriculum in Korea, but the starting age is later than the other countries. Also most projects and researches are concentrated in higher grade elementary school students. It is necessary to lower the entry age of software education in order to nurture human resources leading the fourth industrial revolution era. In this study, we modified the lesson plan of CS Unplugged v4.1 to be suitable for lower grade elementary school students in Korea. The participants were 18 students in the first grade of elementary school, pre&post-test on understanding of computer science principles were conducted for examining the effectiveness. As a result, the average was significantly higher in the post-test than in the pre-test, with t=-2.222, p=0.040(p < .05).

This study aims to analyze the current situation and problems and explore the development plan of the department of education as a general graduate school at P university. Previous studies dealt with the development plans were reviewed and comprehensive analyses conducted for the department of the general graduate school at P university. Public discussions and debates for the enrolled students in the course of Master and Doctor's degree were held during the semester to achieve the research purpose. The results reached in the study are as follows. First, it is necessary to re-establish the objectives and identities of the department as a general graduate school to share vision with the members. Then, it needs to be considered as the changes of Master and Doctor's course in the academic affairs organization and operation system for the multidisciplinary education problem-solving. Third, it is vital to plan substantial co-work, cooperative instruction and projects for the feasible research and practice. Finally, the open network among the graduate school members and human/physical environments are needed for the higher level of internationalization and effectiveness. The development plan would not be individually pursued but regarded as the organic relations embracing various and influential factors to the system and support of the department. In addition, it is required to make persistent efforts for the personal or communal dimension to develop the department of education as a general graduate school.
