This study investigated differences in beliefs about English learning of 286 EFL college students and 52 English teachers in Korea. Data was collected using Horwitz's Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory and compared between students and teachers in beliefs. To address the research questions, the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics including frequencies, factor analysis, MANOVA, ANOVA, t-test, and reliability coefficients. The results showed four factors in student beliefs: Difficulty of learning English, nature of learning English, importance of correctness in learning English, and motivation and perceived importance of learning English. Clear differences were found in students and teachers' beliefs in English learning aptitude and importance of translation, error correction, and grammar rules. A few belief differences were also identified between Koreans and native-speaking English teachers related to the importance of vocabulary learning, pronunciation, and cultural knowledge. The findings of the study indicated that background variables such as gender and major field of study have an effect on student beliefs about L2 learning. The present study also provided pedagogical considerations to reduce mismatch between students and teachers beliefs and to improve the L2 planning and instruction.

This study tracked the changes of preservice biology teachers' pedagogical knowledge along with science teaching efficacy throughout sequentially developed science methods course I and II over two consecutive semesters. Two courses, science methods course I and II, aimed these preservice teachers to discuss the notion of science teaching with teaching and learning theories, to learn science instructional models, to design lessons utilizing science instructional models, and to eventually implement microteaching. The preservice teachers were mainly engaged in cooperative instructional planning activities through science methods course I, and engaged in cooperative microteaching activities through the science methods course II. This study revealed that preservice teachers successfully developed pedagogical knowledge and science teaching efficacy after two science methods courses. The science methods course I where cooperative instructional planning activities occurred helped the preservice teachers to improve pedagogical knowledge but not science teaching efficacy. Based on their pedagogical knowledge development, then, these preservice teachers increased science teaching efficacy belief after completion of the science methods course II.

The purpose of this paper is to describe about the issues concerning student teachers' perceptions of ICT use and obstacles they experience during the teaching. Student teacher experience conflicts with ICT in particular, and lack of confidence in using ICT. Furthermore, pre-service teachers experience various conflicts while teaching during student teaching. Main conflicts student teachers experience are reported that their lack of confidence in using ICT, especially in front of the student body during the class, and firm belief on ICT and its effects. Student teachers lack systematic training during their professional development. As a conclusion, the teacher training programs need to have systematic approach in their curriculum to assist pre-service teachers to use ICT before their student teaching to give them first hand experience in classrooms.

이 연구에서는 과학고 교사들의 영재교육에 대한 신념과 실제수업의 관련성을 알아보았다. 이 사례 연구의 자료는 한 과학 고등학교에 근무하는 세 명의 과학교사로부터 얻었으며, 면담과 수업관찰 등 질적 연구 방법을 통해 수집하였다. 과학고 운영과 교사의 수업에 관련된 다양한 자료도 함께 수집되어 상호검증을 통한 일 치도 확인 방법으로 자료 분석이 이루어졌다. 연구 결과, 과학고 근무경력이 가장 많은 교사는 교사중심의 신념 을 가졌고, 실제 수업 역시 교사 중심으로 운영되었다. 또한 과학고 근무경력이 가장 적은 교사는 학생 중심의 신 념을 가졌고, 실제 수업 역시 학생 중심으로 운영되었다. 반면 과학고 근무경력이 중간인 교사는 학생 중심의 신 념을 가졌으나, 실제 수업은 교사 중심으로 운영되어 신념과 실제 수업의 불일치를 보여주었다. 이러한 연구 결 과로부터, 학교 문화가 교사의 신념보다는 더 강하게 교사의 실제 수업에 영향을 준다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 과 학고 근무 경력이 많을수록 교사의 신념은 영재교육보다는 대학 입학을 위한 지식 교육을 위한 교사 중심으로 변 화되었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 과학고 교사를 위한 교사교육 프로그램의 필요성을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study through ethnographic inquiry is to describe how an elementary teacher teaches mathematics with understanding. The ways that teachers'beliefs affect instructional activities, what means understanding from the view of cognitive psychology, and ethnographic research tradition were reviewed to anchor theoretical background of this study. A third-grade teacher and his 45 students were selected in order to capture vivid and thick descriptions of the teaching and learning activities of mathematics. Three major sources of data, that is, participant-observation with video taping, formal and informal interviews with the teacher and his students, and a variety of official documents were collected. These data were analyzed through two phases: data analysis in the field and after the fieldwork. According to data analysis, ‘teaching mathematics with understanding’ was identified as the teachers central belief of teaching mathematics. In order to implement his belief in teaching practices, the teacher made use of three strategies: ⑴ valuing individual student's own way of understanding, ⑵ bring students' everyday experiences into mathematics classroom, and ⑶ lesson objectivies stated by students. It is suggested for future research that concrete and specific norms of mathematics classroom for the improvement of mathematics understanding are needed to be identified and that experienced and skillful teachers' practical knowledge should be incorporated with theories of teaching mathematics and necessarily paid more attention by mathematics educators.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of children's characteristics and childcare teachers' attributes on the frequency and level of imaginative play in two-year-old classrooms. Methods: The study involved 191 toddlers, their mothers, and 32 teachers from childcare centers. Toddler characteristics encompassed temperament along with demographic variables such as gender and age. Teacher' attributes related to play included playfulness, play-support belief, and interactions with toddlers. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 22.0 and HLM 8.2 software, employing basic analysis, hierarchical linear analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: First, as toddlers' age increased, both the frequency and level of their imaginative play increased. Second, individual-level model analysis revealed a positive effect of toddlers' extroversion on the level of imaginative play. Third, the class-level model results indicated that teachers' emotions had a negative effect, whereas their encouragement positively influenced the level of imaginative play. Conclusion/Implications: The significance of this study lies in its utilization of a multilayered model analysis, which offers a more robust examination of variable influences by accounting for hierarchical data structures.

본 연구에서는 고등학생의 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음과 학교 참여의 관계에서 교사 정당성 경험과 정서적인 측면의 교사-학생 관계가 어떠한 역할을 하는지 살펴보고, 이에 따른 성차를 탐색하고자 하였다. 서울 소재 고등학교 재학생 총 383명을 대상으로 분석한 결과, 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음이 강할수록 학교 참여 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음은 교사 정당성 경험을 매개로 교사-학생 관계를 강화시키고, 교사 정당성 경험은 교사-학생 관계를 매개로 학교 참여를 향상시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 여학생(N=213)의 경우 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음이 교사 정당성 경험과 교사-학생 관계를 순차적으로 이중 매개하여 학교 참여에 직?간접적 영향을 미치는 반면, 남학생(N=168)의 경우에는 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음과 학교 참여 간의 관계를 교사 정당성 경험과 교사-학생 관계가 순차적으로 완전 이중 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음이 학교 참여로 연결되는 경로에서 성별에 따른 차이가 나타난 본 연구결과는 청소년이 지닌 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음의 교육적 순기능을 이해하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between teachers' beliefs and instructional activities in regards to the DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) of Korean and Chinese early childhood teachers. A number of both teacher variables and classroom environment variables were also examined. One hundred and ninety three Korean early childhood teachers and 385 Chinese early childhood teachers responded to the TeacherQuestionnaireas issued. The results of this study were as follows. First, Korean early childhood teachers showed higher scores in terms of teachers' beliefs about DAP than DIP (Developmentally Inappropriate Practice). Chinese early childhood teachers showed higher scores for teachers' beliefs about DIP. Second, Korean teachers' scores in terms of instructional activities for DAP showed differences depending on the degree of teaching experience and the teachers' age, and the scores for instructional activities related to DIP did not show any differences in any of the teacher variables. On the other hand, Chinese teachers exhibited different scores for the instructional activities for both DAP and DIP, again depending on the amount of teaching experience, the teachers' ages, and the ages of the children they taught. Third, a relationship between teachers' beliefs and instructional activities for DAP was found to be in evidence in Korea, but not in China.
