This study was conducted as a part of the project to establish professional development system(PDS) for teachers in Korea. This study aimed to provide a case of running a professional learning community(PLC) of teachers in science education based on the collaboration of a national university of education and its affiliated elementary school, in search of learning by participants and implications for professional development of teachers as well as for science teaching in elementary schools. Teachers and researchers who participated in the PLC were able to accumulate meaningful experiences through 11 rounds of meetings. It was not easy to secure enough time for meetings, but they were able to boost their self-confidence for science teaching and enhance the quality of lessons through these gatherings. Participating teachers had a chance to share instructional design, planning, strategies and practices, which include cases of guiding free-choice research activities among students, thereby to be motivated for improved science teaching for the future. The researcher participating in this PLC was also able to understand the identity of an elementary school, especially the affiliated school, and identify the reality and difficulties related to science teaching in schools. Experiences of participating in PLC are expected to help improve the quality of science teaching in affiliated elementary school and pre-service teacher education of the university.

This study aims to investigate research trends relevant to mathematics teachers and discuss implications on professional development of mathematics teachers. For the purpose of this study, we review 156 articles written between 2006 and 2015 related to mathematics teachers. The articles are analyzed using the model of professional growth suggested by Goldsmith, Doerr, Lewis(2014). The model discusses personal domain, external domain, domain of practice, and domain of consequence. In the results of this study, articles focusing on the personal domain of mathematics teachers appear a lot in reviewed ones, whereas studies relevant to external domain or domain of practice of mathematics teachers are relatively small.

The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of peer coaching for EFL teachers' professional development. For this study, 12 college teachers in Korea participated in a 10-week program. They were 7 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 24 to 37 years. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Reflective analysis was used to analyze individual interview data. From the findings, two significant categories of peer coaching were identified: positive and negative responses to peer coaching experience. However, the overriding themes that emerged from the data were the benefits of peer coaching. The participants were almost unanimous in their acknowledgement of the advantages of peer coaching, such as reflective support through other's eyes, improved working environments, greater teaching strategies, higher professional self-esteem, and awareness of self-directed learning. Negative responses also appeared, mostly in regard to the working principles of implementation; the major issues of difficulties were time management, complexities of implementation procedure, stress and personal vulnerability, and relative lack of reflection and feedback skills. Demonstrating the participants' experiences towards the peer coaching program, this study provides EFL teachers with useful insights into peer coaching as an effective tool of their professional development.

본 연구의 목적은 현장의 변화를 지원하는 과학교사 전문성 계발 프로그램의 특징과 모형에 대해 탐색하는 것이다. 연구는 크게 2단계로 이루어졌다. 연구의 앞부분에서는 과학 교사의 전문성에 대해 이론적 논의를 하였다. 과학 교사의 전문성에 대하여 교수 내용 지식에 대한 논의와 최근 교육 연구의 새로운 시각을 바탕으로 탐색하였으며, 이에 따라 다음의 시사점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 교사 자신의 실제 교수 상황에 바탕을 둔 연수 프로그램, 둘째, 지역 공동체나 학습자의 일상이 속한 공동체에 대한 이해를 고려한 연수 프로그램, 셋째, 교사의 실행 공동체에 대한 참여와 활동을 지원할 수 있는 연수 프로그램이 요청된다. 연구의 후반부에서는 구체적인 실행 사례를 검토하기 위해 영국의 대표적인 과학 교사 전문성 계발 프로그램을 살펴보았다. 사례분석 결과, 교사의 실행의 변화를 명시적으로 수집하고 교사 공동체에서 '뛰어난 교수 활동'에 대해 합의해 가는 과정을 통해 교사들 스스로 탐구활동에 대한 전문성을 계발할 수 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 논의 결과를 바탕으로 효과적인 과학 교사 전문성 계발 프로그램에 필요한 조건과 모형을 도출하였다. 모형은 전문성 계발 기회제공, 교실 현장 도입 및 연구지원, 변화 확산 및 지속성 지원의 3단계로 이루어지며, 전체적으로 순환적인 구조를 가진다. 본 연구에서 제안된 과학교사 전문성 계발 프로그램의 모형은 과학 교사 연수 프로그램을 설계하거나 평가할 때 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

이 연구의 목적은 초임 중등 과학 교사들의 수업 불안과 전문성 발달 실태에 대해 알아보는 것이다. 연구를 위해 경력 5년 미만의 초임 과학교사 83명을 대상을 설문 조사를 실시하고 그 중 다섯 명을 선정하여 심층 면담을 실시하였다. 초임 과학 교사들이 겪는 어려움을 알아보기 위해 수업에 대한 불안정도를 조사한 결과, 초임 과학교사들은 수업 불안을 느끼는 비율이 높았으며, 특히, 물리 과목과 화학 실험 지도에서 가장 높은 불안을 나타냈다. 이들은 수업 불안 극복을 위해 주로 인터넷 정보 검색을 하거나 동료 교사의 도움을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 과학 교사로서의 전문성 발달을 위한 계획으로는 연수와 교사 모임 참석을 들었다. 전문성 신장을 위해 가장 필요한 연수 프로그램으로는 수업을 잘하는 교사의 노하우 강의를 들었다.

Many studies on the professional development of science teachers demonstrated that induction teachers' conceptions of teaching science are important factors in developing their professionalism. The present study was conducted to describe in detail the progress of two science induction teachers, June and Mike, towards conceptual change teaching, and to investigate secondary induction science teachers' conceptions of teaching science by analysing their conceptual ecologies. The study was interpretive, using multiple data sources to achieve a triangulation of data. Both June and Mike held strongly positive learning in their views of knowledge and science. Holding positivist views of knowledge and of science is likely to be a major obstacle for anyone coming to understand constructivism and its implications in teaching for conceptual change. This argument resonates in several key ways with the teachers' cases, even though I recognize differences between scenario and teachers, and between teachers themselves.

이 연구는 교육환경 변화에 부응하는 콘텐츠 중심의 교사 전문성 개발 프로그램이 필요하다는 문제의식에서 교사들의 전문성개발 프로그램 콘텐츠별 참여 실태와 필요성 및 효과성 인식 수준을 분석하였다. OECD의 교수-학습 국제조사 자료(TALIS)를 활용하여 중학교 교사 4,000명을 대상으로 교사들의 인식을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 교사들의 전문성 개발 참여율이 가장 높은 프로그램은 주로 교과내용 중심 콘텐츠인 반면에, 새롭게 요구되는 콘텐츠(ICT, 다문화 지도, 학교경영과 행정, 새로운 직업기술)의 경우 교사들의 전문성 개발 프로그램 참여율이 낮았다. 들째, 교사들의 프로그램 참여율이 낮았던 콘텐츠에 대해 필요성 및 효과성 인식 수준 역시 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로, 교사경력에 따라 전문성 개발이 필요한 콘텐츠와 그 효과성을 달리 인식하고 있어 교사의 발달과정에 따라 전문성 개발 프로그램 콘텐츠를 다르게 접근해야 함을 시사하였다.

There were a lot of challenges to reform mathematics education. These challenges may include reforms of teaching and learning methods, development of mathematics curriculum and textbooks, innovative resources for teaching mathematics. Although there is considerable consensus that meeting these challenges will require that mathematics teachers have deep insights about mathematics, about students as learners of mathematics, and about teaching method, the teachers themselves may have little knowledge of them. The most of the professional development includes elective participation in reeducation course, workshop, and special lectures which designed to transmit a specific set of ideas, techniques, or materials to teachers. But such approaches treat mathematics teaching as routine and technical, and also provide limited opportunities for meaningful interactions within the teaching community. So, this paper suggests that what is needed to develop professional teachers of mathematics is community where teachers work with colleagues rather than working alone.

The purpose of this study was to identify key components in developing educational programs designed to enhance pre-service teachers' professionalism. Key program characteristics identified and implemented through this study are as follows: First, programs should provide opportunities for trainees to reflect on goal identification and setting goals as professional teachers. Second, programs should emphasize the relationship between the pre-service teachers' personal qualities and professional development. Third, programs should include and integrated and holistic approach to integrating content and teaching methodology. Fourth, the program's educational content should unfold in a gradual and sequential manner. Fifth, the program should support a strong relationship between senior teachers and juniors pre-service teachers. Sixth, the program should take advantage of the physical and human resources in the pre-service teacher's community. Seventh, the program should employ circular and formative evaluation of contents and teaching methods as a way of facilitating development and improvement. This study develops and demonstrates an extensive model program that fits these criteria. Also included is discussion related to further studies.
