In this study, the researcher aimed to increase productive reflection of pre-service elementary teachers through reflective journal writing and discussion after science peer teaching practice. 'Productive reflection' involves consideration and analysis of interrelationships among aspects of teaching including learners and learning, subject matter knowledge, assessment, and instruction. During 8 week efforts, productive reflection has increased gradually in both individual journal and class discussion. However half of individual journals didn't show productive reflection even in the final stage. This implicated that development of reflective thinking is an achievable but progressive change. By describing the progress in discussion and participants' responses on journal writing and discussion activity, this study shed light on practical ways of enhancing reflective teacher education.

Effective teaching and learning is a continuous process of monitoring and re-organization of teaching method, so to benefit both students and educators. Reflective journal writing is an effective method for students to reflect on their learning experience about a new concept or subject taught and at the same time enables educators to improve on their academic skills. In the present paper, we have examined and evaluated the effectiveness of the Uncritical Inference Test (UIT) that was conducted in our basic organic chemistry course through a systematic network built based on students’ reflective writing. From the data analysis, the UIT has benefited students in three dimensions, namely cognitive, affective and group learning domains. Moreover, the UIT activity instilled an active learning environment in organic chemistry classroom and deeper learning among chemistry students as shown in the collected data. In future, this activity could be adapted as a teaching method to enhance students’ critical thinking skills and question-asking capability in other teaching courses.

Today's fundamental purpose of environmental education is to fulfill people's desire of living in a pleasant environment and at the same time promoting individualistic and collective environmentally friendly behaviors. In order to achieve these purposes, it is very important that each person holds an environmentally friendly mind that constantly tries to preserve and protect the environment which should be acquired through experiencing the importance of the environment. In order to increases the sense of attachment of people and the natural environment, the direction of environmental education should carry out education on environment related knowledge and the condition of environment damage side by side. The direction of environmental education should consider the cultivating student's awareness for active participation on matters related to the environment and to change their behaviors towards the environment. This study has tested the effect of reflective writing activities about the environment on the environmental sensitivity and willingness to act of 5th grade primary school students. For the sole purpose of this study, 70 students out of 141 5th graders of M Primary School were divided as the experimental group, and another 71 students were divided as the control group. The experimental group participated in 10 activities in where they were asked to express their thoughts and feelings in writing regarding 10 environmental problems occurring near the M Primary School. The control group participated in 10 environmental education lectures focusing on the lecturer. The results were as following. First, the reflective writing activities about the environment were effective in the environmental sensitivity of primary school students. Second, the reflective writing activities about the environment can affect the environmental willingness to act of primary school students. Third, there was a statistically significant correlation between environmental sensitivity and environmental willingness to act.

Effective mastering and learning of basic organic chemical concepts is pivotal to ensure students continue to excel to the higher levels of organic chemistry learning. Concept learning is crucial for first-year organic chemistry students so that they can comprehend and understand a concept better and able to make connection to problems. In the present paper, the authors have implemented the Interactive Anonymous Quiz (IAQ) with "must-have" features in the organic chemistry course as a teaching tool to instill students' interest and enhance conceptual understanding in organic chemistry. The effectiveness of this activity was examined and evaluated through students' reflective writing. Students showed positive learning outcome on the implemented activity as reflected by the reflective writings. In addition, this activity could be employed as an activity to check on students' concept understanding, to instill students' interest in organic chemistry course and to improve on students' weakest topic in organic chemistry in the future classes.

이 연구에서는 실험 저널쓰기에서 나타난 예비 과학교사의 실험에 대한 반성적 사고를 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 탐구기반 물리실험 수업에서 예비 과학교사들에게 매 주제의 실험 수행마다 실험 과정과 수행에 대한 결과 및 논의와 더불어 실험 수행 후 실험에 대한 자신의 의견을 자유롭게 기술하는 실험 저널을 작성하도록 하고, 이들이 작성한 실험 저널에 포함된 진술문을 분석하여 실험에 대한 반성적 사고를 지식, 과정, 지향, 태도 등 4개의 차원으로 나누어 분석하였다. 지식 차원에는 반성적 사고는 실험을 통해 이미 알고 있는 내용을 점검하거나 실험 후에도 여전히 해결되지 않는 내용과 실험 후 새롭게 알게 된 내용에 대한 반추가 포함되었으며, 과정 차원에는 전반적인 실험 저널쓰기에서 나타난 예비과학교사들의 과학실험에 대한 반성적 사고 분석 207실험 과정에 대한 점검과 구체적인 실험 수행에 대한 반성이 드러났다. 지향 차원에서는 실험 수업을 통하여 얻게 된 과학의 본성에 대한 이해와 과학교육에 대한 견해가 포함되었으며, 태도 차원에서는 실험 수업에 대한 흥미와 동기, 실험수업에 대한 가치 인식이 포함되었다. 수행한 실험주제에 따라 반성적 사고의 유형별 빈도는 조금씩 다르게 나타났으나, 공통적으로 이러한 반성적 사고에는 예비 과학교사들의 자신의 앎과 학습과정에 대한 초인지, 과학과 과학교육에 대한 인식론적 신념, 과학과 실험에 대한 정의적 특성이 드러났다. 이와 같이 자신이 수행한 실험에 대해서 형식적인 절차에 따른 '과학적' 글쓰기뿐만 아니라 자유로운 형태로 '자신의' 글쓰기를 하게 하는 실험 저널쓰기는 과학학습 맥락에서 반성적 사고가 드러날 수 있는 매개이자 반성적 사고를 촉진할 수 있는 활동으로서 의미를 갖는다.

Learning communities in medical education have demonstrated favorable outcomes in terms of students' learning, professional development, and wellness. Despite these strengths and the widespread adoption of learning communities in US medical schools, there has been little interest in medical learning communities in Korea. In this context, the present study examined the development and implementation of the Yonsei Medical Learning Community (YMLC) and analyzed its outcomes and areas of improvement. The Yonsei University College of Medicine has operated a learning community as part of the undergraduate medical education curriculum since 2014. The YMLC is the first program of its type in Korea. The overall structure of the YMLC consists of four distinct communities (pillars), which are named after four distinguished alumni, and each pillar is organized into five learning community classes. Each class is vertically integrated across students in different medical school years, and one faculty advisor is matched to about 30 students. As the YMLC focuses on fostering reflective practice in students and providing them with opportunities to build teamwork and experience social relatedness, two educational approaches have been adopted: reflective writing and mentoring and community activities. In this study, we obtained and analyzed second-year students' feedback on the YMLC curriculum and identified its achievements, merits, and areas that need improvement. The results have shown that over 75% and 60% of respondents reported satisfaction with reflective writing and mentoring and community activities, respectively. The educational activities of the learning community helped students regularly reflect on their learning and progress and establish close relationships with faculty advisors. However, several areas of improvement regarding content, format, and logistical issues were also identified. The present findings may provide valuable information for other institutions to develop learning communities relevant to their own context.

본 연구는 그림책 활동을 중심으로 보육교사의 반성적 저널쓰기를 통해 나타난 유아의 사회적 유능감을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구대상은 경기도 A시에 위치한 G어린이집 만 3, 4, 5세반 교사 3명과 유아 47명이다. 교사들은 20회기에 걸쳐 유아들과 그림책 활동을 실시하면서 매회기 반성적 저널을 작성하였다. 수집된 반성적 저널을 통해 유아의 사회적 유능감의 요인인 정서성, 정서조절, 대인관계기술, 사회적 지식이해에 따른 저널을 분류, 텍스트 내용을 추출하여 질적으로 해석 및 분석하였다. 연구결과로 첫째, 유아들은 자신의 정서를 자연스럽게 표출하였으며, 이러한 정서성은 친구들과 함께 생활하는 동안 배워질 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아들은 공감과 감정이입으로 자신의 정서를 인식하고 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 유아들은 서로의 생각의 차이를 통해 틀림이 아닌 다름을 인정하고 수용하며 대인관계능력을 형성해 나가는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 유아들은 친구들을 사회적 구성원으로 이해하고 존중하고 격려하며 변화해 나가는 모습으로 나타났다.
