  • This research conducted between March and December of 2005 has focused on analyzing a diverse range of educational services provided by English native-speaking instructors teaching in Korea. This study includes quantitative research findings from 238 university students. This dual-semester research study focuses on our most recent Korean EFL (English as a Foreign Language) programs provided for university students who wish to improve their English ability. Many students hope to partake in lectures taught by Native English Speaking teachers (hereafter NS teachers), and many universities are also willing to open additional courses for these students. However, in order for lectures to be most effective, NS instructors need to be appropriately trained or qualified teachers in order to successfully educate their students. Furthermore, NS teachers need to constantly review their teaching styles and strategies to allow for professional development and to ensure an improvement in their teaching methodology. Overall, this research provides whole English lecture views of NS teachers that is data-driven regarding designing, implementing, evaluating, and reforming the education of English taught by NS teachers working in Korea.

  • Environmental education is usually taught across the curriculum in most of the countries. This teaching approach has been a challenge for teachers to implement it especially in the Malaysian curriculum context. Thus, science teachers require effectual Pedagogical Content Knowledge of Environmental Education (PCK-EE). The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of teaching option and teaching experience on science teachers' PCK-EE. Five components of PCK-EE were investigated in this study, which were: a) knowledge of curriculum, b) knowledge of content, c) knowledge of student, d) knowledge of teaching strategies, and e) knowledge of evaluation. 347 secondary science teachers from the state of Selangor have participated in this survey study. The questionnaire used had 60 items. The findings revealed teaching option has a significant influence on science teachers' knowledge of content (p=0.000); knowledge of student (p=0.000) and knowledge of teaching strategies (p=0.016). In the case of teaching experience, it was found that there is a low correlation on knowledge of content (r=0.174) and knowledge of evaluation (r=0.170) only. Implication of this study leads to the suggestion in enhancing teachers' service training to improve their PCK-EE and subsequently their ability in teaching environmental education across curriculum.

  • In this paper, a teaching unit on series of number sentences with patterns is designed according to Wittmann's perspectives. In this paper, series of number sentences wish patterns means number sentences in which some patterns are contained. especially, seven kinds of number sentences wish patterns are offered as basic materials, and fifteen tasks based on these basic materials are offered. These tasks are for ninth grade students and higher grade students. These tasks heap students to recognize patterns, and to understand mechanism underlying in those patterns by looking for patterns and proving whether these patterns are generally hold. As working on these tasks, students can reinforce meaning of algebraic expression, its manipulation, and concept of number series. Students also can reinforce mathematical thinking such as analogical thinking, deductive thinking, etc. In this point, this teaching unit reveal important objectives, contents, and Principles of mathematics education. This teaching unit can also be rich sources for student's activities. Especially, for each task's level is different, each student's personal ability is considered fully. Since teachers can know mathematical facet, psychological facet, and didactical facet holistically, this teaching unit can offer broad possibilities for experimental studies. SD, this leaching unit can be said to be substantial. In this paper, this leaching unit is not applied in classroom directly. Actually such applying in classroom is suggested as follow-up studies. By appling this teaching unit in various classroom, some effective informations for teaching this teaching unit and some particular phenomenons in those teaching processes can be identified, and this teaching unit can be revised to be better one.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 영재 학생들을 위해 과학사-CPS 수업 모형(HS-CPS 모델)을 활용한 분자생물 영역 수업 프로그램의 개발 및 적용하는 것이다. 수업 프로그램의 주제는 문헌을 통한 과학사 분석으로 추출하였다. 총 12차시의 수업 프로그램을 개발하였으며 개발한 수업이 영재학생들의 과학 창의적 문제해결력과 해당 영역 개념 향상에 효과적이었는지를 분석하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 개발한 수업 프로그램은 영재 학생들의 과학창의적 문제해결력과 그 하위요소인 유창성, 융통성 향상에 도움을 주었으나 독창성 향상에는 큰 차이를 나타내지 못하였다. 개념 검사 결과에서는 생명과학 기초개념, DNA와 유전자 개념 모두 많은 향상을 나타내었다. 수업 평가 설문지 결과에서는 학생들이 대부분 수업 프로그램에 대해 긍정적인 평가를 하였으며 본 수업을 통해 창의적 문제해결력이 향상되었다고 느꼈고 과학사적 접근을 체험할 수 있었다고 평가하였다.

  • 21세기 지식 기반, 정보화 기반 사회는 수학을 단순히 적용하는 능력이 아닌 실생활이나 다른 교과 영역에서 수학적 지식을 사용하여 문제를 구성하고 해결하는 문제 해결력 등의 수학적 힘(Mathematical power)을 필요로 한다. 수학적 힘을 기르기 위해서는 수학의 기본 지식, 추론 능력, 문제 해결력, 수학적 아이디어의 표현 및 교환능력, 그리고 사고의 유연함, 인내, 흥미, 지적 호기심, 창의력을 길러 주는 다양한 교수 학습 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 학습 매체를 이용한 실생활 중심의 교수 학습 지도안을 개발하고 이를 통하여 학생들의 수업에 대한 반응과 수학에 대한 인식 변화를 분석하였다.

  • 예비교사가 수학 수업을 어떻게 이해하고 비평하는지는 수업전문성 개발의 기초가 되므로 중요하다. 본 연구는 예비교사들이 교육실습 과정 중 현직교사의 시범 수업을 참관한 후 작성한 수업 비평을 토대로, 비평 수준 및 특징을 분석한 것이다. 특히 비평에 포함된 수학 내용뿐만 아니라 주체, 견지, 근거, 대안을 토대로 비평 수준을 종합적으로 분석하였다는 점이 유의미하다. 연구 결과, 예비교사들의 비평 수준은 1수준(소감형), 2수준(점검형), 3수준(분석형) 중 대부분 2수준에 머물러 있음을 알 수 있었다. 비평 수준틀에 대한 중다회귀분석결과 비평 수준에 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 요인은 견지(見地)였다. 한편 예비교사들의 비평을 통하여 교육실습 과정에서의 수업 참관이 수학 수업과 관련된 신념과 교사로서의 이미지 형성에 중요한 영향을 끼친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 수학 수업에 대한 비평 및 교육실습과 관련하여 교사의 전문성 신장을 도모할 수 있는 시사점을 도출하였다.

  • 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.
