본 연구는 초등학교 과학 수업에서 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념이 교수 실제와 어떤 관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 초등학교 교사 4명을 대상으로 리커트식 설문 조사와 면담을 통하여 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념을 알아보았다. 그리고 각 교사당 2차시의 수업에 대하여 실제 수업 관찰 및 수업 후 면담을 통하여 수업 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 과학학습에 대한 신념에서 전통적 관점을 보인 A교사와 B교사는 교수 실제에서도 교사 중심의 설명식 수업을 진행하였다. 반면에 상대적으로 구성주의적인 신념을 보인 C교사와 D교사는 교수 실제에서 교과서 내용을 재구성하고 다양한 교수 방법과 전략을 활용하는 수업을 진행하였다. 초등 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념에는 교사간에 차이가 있었으며, 이러한 신념의 차이는 대체적으로 과학 수업의 실제와도 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 토대로 초등 과학수업에서 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념의 중요성에 대하여 시사점을 논의하였다.

Methods: The participants were 111 childcare teachers with more than seven years of job experience. The metaphors expressing themselves were collected and implemented the metaphor analysis in terms of positionality. Results: First, the participants who recognized themselves as experts were positioned as teachers who cared for and taught children, as co-learners with children, and as leaders of junior teachers. Second, the participants who recognized themselves as minorities were positioned as non-subjects, and as oppressed persons who had to obey in the lower levels of the organizational system of childcare centers. Third, the participants who recognized themselves as marginal persons were positioned as problem solvers, and as border-crossers who conflict and adjust in complex relationships. Conclusion/Implications: Based on the results, the following policy suggestions were made.

Conducted within the methodological framework of action research, this study examines the ways in which a beginning science teacher in a Korean elementary classroom engaged in collaborative research with her own students to resolve problems preventing effective science teaching and learning. Specifically, this study uses cogenerative dialogue between teachers and students to develop new teachers' knowledge of how to manage the classroom to be able to more effectively implement inquiry instructional strategies and knowledge of students as learners. Findings from this research suggest that by involving students in cogenerative dialogues, beginning teachers are provided with valuable insights into how elementary students think about school, science, and teaching and learning, which can help expand a beginning teacher's capacity to be an effective science teacher of science for all learners, especially diverse learners. These findings suggest that teacher education programs could better support beginning teachers by placing greater emphasis on how to conduct action research, including how to implement cogenerative dialogues to catalyze positive changes in their own classrooms. We conclude by discussing the important implications this research has for supporting new teachers struggle to effectively teach science and who would benefit from using strategies to foster improved relationships with their students and improved understanding about the challenges faced by diverse learners in their classroom.

Objectives: We investigated the operation needs of school meal support centers (SMSC) in Chungnam-do based on analysis of nutrition teachers' perception of them. Methods: The Chungnam government established the first SMSC in 2012. Thirteen SMSCs are currently being operated in Chungnam-do. To analyze the results quantitatively, we investigated nutrition teachers opinions regarding the necessity for SMSCs as a dependent variable and derived the independent variables based on the causal relationships with dependent variables using the ordered logit model. Those independent variables included region, school type, number of students, attitude regarding free meal policy, satisfaction with school meal policy, and preference for local food. Results: Briefly, teachers in the region in which the SMSC was located more strongly supported the SMSC. In addition, teachers in public schools with a smaller number of students believed that having a SMSC is more beneficial, and that other variables also affected the necessity for SMSCs. Moreover, nutrition teachers preferred local foods rather than organic foods because of the unstable supply of organic foods. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it was recommended that the local government implement the policy consistently. Moreover, it was recommended that the government operate the SMSC more efficiently, enhance the roles of the SMSC as the local organization responsible for student nutritional planing and expand the coverage of agricultural products.
