  • This formative evaluation study presents a professional development program, "Earth Science Systems for Teachers (ESST)" held in a Midwest State in the United States. This study investigates how a professional development for urban teachers affects the teacher participants' perceptions of using the urban environment for their science teaching and their lesson unit development. The purpose of the program was to help urban teachers create science units using the urban geologic environment and its connection to urban students' everyday lives. The participant teachers' daily journal entries during the program, their lesson plans before and after the program, as well as their teaching reflections were collected as major data source. The teachers' daily journal entries were analyzed qualitatively and their pre-post lessons were analyzed quantitatively using a lesson plan analysis tool, Culturally Relevant Science Teaching Perspectives (CRSTP) was developed by the author. The lesson analysis tool was used to assess teachers' science lesson plans in the perspective of culturally relevant pedagogy and place-based pedagogy. The major findings include: 1) The teacher participants' field experiences in urban geologic sites and urban environments help the teachers to change their perceptions of using the urban environment as a teaching resource and 2) there were significant differences in their pre and post lesson unit scores based on CRSTP (P<. 01). The implications of this study are also discussed.

  • The ability to use information technology has become increasingly important as technological advances continue to sweep through the computing world, and education for improving computational thinking has become globally instituted. In South Korea, informatics subjects have been modified in the 2015 curriculum and are now compulsory in primary and secondary education. However, despite substantial financial investment and numerous studies promoting informatics education, there continues to be a serious lack of pre-service teachers capable of teaching computational thinking. This study investigated pre-service teacher programming education using App Inventor, their perceptions of App Inventor, and how use of the program affected teacher problem-solving abilities and self-efficacy. In the pre-test, the control group and experimental group showed no statistically significant difference; however, the post-test revealed that the two groups showed statistically significant differences in problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. The participants initially showed interest in using App Inventor; however, after practice-teaching and project-based learning, the participants demonstrated a growing negativity toward the program when they made errors and the functional limits of App Inventor became apparent. Although most participants stated that they would not use App Inventor in their classes, the positive statistically significant differences in problem-solving skills and self-efficacy indicate that this study could be utilized as a basis for building a teaching-learning program using App Inventor and creating an educational plan for teaching computational thinking.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a secondary teacher training program based on the TPACK model to strengthen the capacity of teachers of youth entrepreneurship education in the context of the increasing importance of entrepreneurship as a future competency, and to provide theoretical and practical implications based on it. To this end, a teacher training program was developed through the process of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation based on the ADDIE model, and 22 secondary school teachers in Gangwon Province were trained and the effectiveness and validity were analyzed. First, the results of the paired sample t-test of TPACK in entrepreneurship education conducted before and after the program showed statistically significant improvements in all sub-competencies. Second, the satisfaction survey of the training program showed that the overall satisfaction was high with M=4.83. Third, the validity of the program was reviewed by three experts, and it was found to be highly valid with a validity of M=5.0, usefulness of M=4.7, and universality of M=5.0. Based on the results, it is suggested that in order to expand entrepreneurship education, opportunities for teachers' holistic capacity building such as TPACK should be expanded, teachers' understanding and practice of backward design should be promoted, and access to various resources that can be utilized in entrepreneurship education should be improved.
