The purpose in this study is to determine the relationship between the curriculum orientations and professional teaching practices of Korean secondary school home economics teachers for the development of home economics curriculum. The instruments, Individual Curriculum Orientation profile(ICOP) and Professional Teaching Practice(PTP) were used to survey randomly selected 525 home economics leachers. The curriculum orientations explored were academic rationalism, technical, cognitive process, personal relevance, and social reconstruction. The professional teaching practices examined were customary-instrumental, interactive and reflective practices. Using canonical correlation, home economics teacher's teaching practices were found to be significantly related to their curriculum orientations. However, only 17.7% of the variability in professional teaching practices was explained by the five curriculum orientations.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the pedagogical importance of counter-examples that contradict statements about mathematics education research and the curriculum revision process for high school mathematics courses. Using a literature research method, this study analyzed views about counter-examples according to a method of approach to statements and the classification of counter-examples and their criteria. The study also described the learnability of the content of counter-examples presented in Korean secondary school mathematics textbooks. The results showed that generating many counter-examples enables learners to understand mathematical concepts exactly, construct links between mathematical contents, and have flexible thoughts about mathematical objects. Considering the learnability of counter-examples, the contents of counter-examples in school mathematics textbooks are needed for mathematics teachers and students to generate numerous counter-examples and verify the justification of generating counter-examples in various manners.

To introduce materials related to our traditional mathematics and to reinterpret modernly them could be a good tool to find the cultural values of them. We analyzed the degree for utilization of the history of mathematics in the middle school textbooks developed depending on the 2009 revised mathematics curriculum. Through this, we suggest the need for research on concrete and practical teaching and learning materials development utilizing the history of mathematics. We reinterpret, in modern style based on the curriculum, two subjects dealt with in 'GakDeungByeonHyeongSeupYu', the first theme of 'SanSulGwanGyeon' written by Lee Sang Hyuk. We expansively reconstruct the original samples up to regular decagon so that students might figure out the situation of all regular polygon using a kind of mathematics software GeoGebra. Also this process is constructed on the basis of the curriculum for an implementation the secondary school classes.

The purpose of this study is to investigate secondary school teacher's perceptions and needs of computer and information literacy(CIL) convergence education and to suggest implications for promoting CIL convergence education in the actual school fields. We conducted a survey on teachers perceptions and the needs for CIL convergence education and analysed 227 secondary school teachers responses. As a result, we found that the perception of the necessity of CIL convergence education was very high while understanding level of the CIL convergence education and the actual frequency of teaching experiences were relatively low. In addition, CIL convergence education activities are mainly conducted through Informatics curriculum rather than various subjects. We identified that the main constrains of CIL convergence education were the burden on the progress of subject based curriculum as well as the lacking of teaching and learning equipments including computers. We identified that the needs for empowering teachers professional developments and constructing the physical and institutional environments of school sites were high. In discussion, we suggested the support strategies in terms of teacher professional development, institutional supports, and physical environments.

This study aims to standardize and analyze the environmental teacher recruitment examination for secondary school. To achieve the purpose, the environmental teacher recruitment examinations, which were carried out for five times through the school year 2000 to 2004, were compared and analyzed. And then, based on the above analyses, we presented ‘the plan of standardization for the environmental teacher recruitment examination in secondary school.’ In addition, the propriety, reliance, and realistic suitability of the plan were confirmed by professors of environmental education department in universities, environmental education professionals, and environmental teachers in secondary school. By presenting ‘the plan of standardization for the environmental teacher recruitment examination in secondary school’ in this study, we expect that the curriculum design and management of environmental education teacher training universities can be standardized and improved, and that the teacher who have expert qualities in environment education is reasonably selected by the environmental teacher recruitment examination.

The study conducted a survey on mathematics teachers' perception about the mathematics curriculum and carried out a field survey of schools' compliance of the 2009 revised mathematics curriculum. The questionnaires were distributed to and collected from 36 mathematics teachers in 22 middle and high schools. According to the results of the study, it was found that most mathematics teachers had low interest in and did not feel the necessity and importance of revising the mathematic curriculum. This was because that the necessity and direction of the curriculum revision was not well understood by secondary school teachers, thanks to a hasty revamping. In addition, schools are organizing and operating their own educational programs with the focus on the college entrance exams, regardless of the guidelines of the current revised curriculum.

This study aims to analyze the multicultural content of the Korean Elementary School Textbook revised in 2015. This study abstracted the framework of multicultural factors for analysis of multicultural contents from the research on "Revision Guidelines by Analysis of Multicultural Factors in Secondary Curriculum and Textbook". The analyzed textbook is the integrated winter textbooks for both the first and second grades revised curriculum in 2015. Several findings were represented as follows: first, the frequency of multicultural content displayed five times in first grade and nineteen times in second grade respectively. Second, the analyzed textbooks did not include contents directly associated with multiculturalism. Activities and experience is important in the acceptance of unfamiliar cultures Thus, multicultural contents' frequency of within textbooks is very crucial. Finally, the revised curriculum focused on activities and experiences about the theme and content in the textbook and was developed around block chassis. For teaching the textbook content, teachers must perfectly understand textbooks through teacher training. The textbooks of reflecting right values on multiculturalismIn. this respect, elementary school curriculum and textbook content should be improved by supplementary revision fitting for the growth of humanity in the multicultural era.
