The purpose of this study is to analyze science subject items in the first screening stage of the elementary school teacher employment examination based on pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and provide suggestions for improving the items. For this purpose, an analysis framework to analyze the items was developed and a total of 14 unit items between academic years of 2013 and 2019 were analyzed according to the analysis framework. The analysis of the results reveal that 'subject matter knowledge' of the five PCK components was most frequently included in the items. 'Instructional strategies and instruction for science education' was also frequently included although less than that of the previous component. However, 'assessment in science education', 'students', and 'curriculum for science education' were a little included. There were also assessment domains and contents which were not involved in the items. In the aspects of integration, the integrations between two components of two types were frequently found. No integrations were also frequently included although less than the previous category. The integrations among three or four components were also slightly found. Integrations among five components were not found. 'Subject matter knowledge' or 'instructional strategies and instruction for science education' with other components were more frequently found. However, the integrations of 'assessment in science education', 'students', and 'curriculum for science education' with the other components were less frequently found. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

The purpose of the present study is to develop several types of English teaching/learning models in view of cross-curricular approach in Korean elementary school. Brewster(1992)' model is suitable for younger children as well as the 1st or 2nd graders. For 3rd or 4th graders, Halliwel1(1997)' model seems more proper type in Korean EFL situation. There has been studying for cross-curricular approach in elementary English education. Many studies has recently focused the characteristics of elementary students by cognitive and psychological perspectives. Among them, Park(1996)'s research talks about the elementary school students. Han(1996)'s research based on the notion of applied to other subjects. Kim(1999)'s also emphasized the importance of linking other subjects. Kim(2003) argued the need of integrating English with other subjects. The elementary education as the National Common Basic Curriculum(NCBC) has the essence of cross-curricular approach, so the English education will be linked with other subject matters more and more, not just as for Communicative function based English education but as both content and function based subject matter.

The thesis is to look for the method of applying process drama for bilingual education in multicultural society. This purpose can be resolved in three steps: first, to understand the purposes and functions of education changing to multicultural society; second, to survey the need of bilingual education conformed to its purposes and functions; last, to understand the theoretical background of process drama and seek the method of utilizing it to bilingual education. Recently, the Korean society is also changing to multicultural society with international marriages and immigrant workers. But they have difficulties in communicating in Korean, and their children have even the same. Under the basis of multiculturalism wanting peace and mutual respect between cultural groups, they have to be educated in equality. This is why the bilingual education is needed in our society. Process drama, a widely used term for educational drama in Britain, claims its effectiveness for L1, L2 and bilingual education, for the principal medium in drama is language and what drama delivers is related to meaningful human experiences. It is also supported on script theory of linguistic therapy. Kase-Polisini classifies the developmental process of education drama into 1) planning, 2) playing and 3) evaluation. This process can be applied to educational drama for language as well. Rather, educational drama applying to bilingual education has even more availability with the varieties of group organization and subject matter. Conclusively speaking, the group of dual language schools can be organized into 1) mother-tongued group, 2) mother-tongued and L2 group, 3) multilingual group, or 4) L3 group in educational drama activity, as the class generally consist of the mixed multilingual children. And the subject matter can deal with 1) the Korean society and culture, 2) the society and culture of the purposed language country, or 3) the society and culture of the third nations.

The purpose of this study is to find out the practical problems that 6th grade students are facing, how they perceive Practical Arts education and the praxis of Practical Arts education relating to the problems, and whether the content of Practical Arts curriculum is useful for solving practical problems of 6th grade students. The data used in this study are collected from questionnaires and include in-depth interviews in order to make up for the quantitative research. The major findings of this study were summarized as follows. 1. Elementary school students regarded Practical Arts education as the subject matter through which they learn skills of life. They thought it is useful to their present and future life and to nurture environment-friendly attitude. Furthermore, elementary school students perceive that the meaning of practice in Practical Arts education lies not in praxis as practical action, but in just practice as technical action. 2. According to the survey based on their perception and their practical problems, 66.9% of students answered the learning content of Practical Arts education is not useful in solving their problems. And only 33.4% of students answered the learning content of Practical Arts education is useful in solving their problems. Negative view was predominant among elementary school students. And the Practical Arts curriculum does not reflect much of the practical problems that 6th grade students face. Through these results, Practical Arts education turns out to be hardly related with students' life, though it is the subject matter of students' real life.

This study analyzes the realities of computer curriculum to accommodate computer study as an elementary and secondary educational course of study, and reviews its value and character as a course of computer subject matter, and the strategy for organizing educational courses, reflecting those value and character, etc. First of all, the study raises some questions on the excessively instrumentaI and study-oriented approach of the computer educational curricula at this point of time, as well as summarizing and analyzing viewpoints from the related societies and experts on the character and distinctive feature of the computer study. And this study verifies that the character of computer study is pretty similar to the empirical meaning curriculum from the viewpoint of an educational scholar. Based on the foregoing, a strategy is needed to expand the extrinsic value of computer study as an elementary and secondary school educational curriculum, clarify the knowledge structure internally and to organize a computer subject curriculum which is closely related to daily life of students.

Teachers' cognitive understanding of subject matter content have direct impact on the quality of students learning. In order to understand this, we need to investigate the relationships between the teachers' level of knowledge about the content and the instruction teacher provide for students. Professional development programs for computer education teachers include courses in computer science, curriculum studies, and the application of computers in the classroom. Effective teachers, however, have expertise in the subject matter content, know curriculum, and understand contextual knowledge for teaching computers in the classrooms. Although computer education have evolved for last 20 years, we have not yet made significant progress on researching "what" is the professional knowledge of computer teachers, and "how" they could be trained. Teacher's knowledge includes pedagogical and contextual knowledge of teaching the specific subject. The purpose of this paper is to understand the professional knowledge of computer teachers, and the adoption of PCK (pedagogical content knowledge). As a result of this paper, I hope to initiate further discussions and researches on PCK and its' implication for computer teachers and teacher preparation programs in Korea.

In this research, we investigated the historical development and ways of improvement of the teacher employment test (TET, hereafter) in Korea. This paper consists of three parts. The first part details the secondary science teacher education system in Korea. The second part elaborates upon the development of the TET since 1990's. The third part provides conclusion by addressing ways to improve science teacher education and employment systems in Korea. After all, the keen competition for teacher education and the demanding entry test ensure that secondary science teachers are selected from a pool of candidates with high academic achievement. Korean teacher employment system in general places more weight on subject knowledge. Although we cannot simply conclude that Korean science teachers must have profound knowledge in the subject matter and are competent in pedagogy, it stands to reason that the teachers could be more competent in performing their roles than those of many western countries with an acute shortage of teachers. We also suggested future directions and ways of improvement regarding teacher education and the TET in Korea.

School geometry takes various approaches such as deductive, analytic, and vector methods. Especially, the mathematical connections between these methods are closely related to the mathematical connections between geometry and algebra. This article analysed the geometric consequences of vector algebra from the viewpoint of teacher's subject-matter knowledge and investigated the connections between the geometric proof and the algebraic proof with vector and inner product.

This study is to suggest the legal issues and some question to solve on the approved books in fisheries and marine sciences education. The results of the study are following. First, It discuss the legal meaning on the approved books. The meaning of the approved books means the curriculum books are subject to an approval by the Minister of Education, Science and Technology in order to use term in case where there exist no government-designated books and authorized, or where it is difficult to use term or it is necessary to supplement them. Second It deals with the legal issues on the approved books in fisheries and marine science education. The main issue is in harmony with the regimentation and self-regulation of education. This matter is the legal problems on the power for the standards of the textbooks approval and the rights for the organization of the textbooks. Third, It treats the problems of the approved books in fisheries and marine sciences education. The problems is system of statute and concept of approved books, the rights of nation and local government, standards of approved books, and writing and practical use of approved books. I generalize legal issues on the approved books in fisheries and marine sciences education. Hence, it is necessary to deeply study each subject in the legal aspect of the approved books in fisheries and marine sciences education.
