This study aims to uncover what kinds of difficulties preschool teachers are now confronted with when they begin to implement project based learning with young children, in order to develop contents for teacher education programs. From July 2012 to February, 2013, 9 teachers participated in implementing projects in preschool classrooms. For data generation and interpretation, observations of class projects, tape-recordings of teacher conferences, and interviews with the teachers were made. The findings were as follows: teachers' uncertainty regarding project itself, teachers themselves, child competence, and its sustainableness were the most critical obstacle to hinder the teachers in implementing self directed projects with young children. The results imply that the teachers' belief in child competence in doing projects is of great significance; their view that it is very difficult for them to do projects without viewing young children a co-constructor of knowledge. Therefore, the key element in developing contents for teacher education programs should include a richer understanding of young children' competence.

본 연구는 유아의 공격성, 교사-유아관계와 또래유능성의 수준과 유아의 연령과 성에 따라 유아의 신체적 관계적 공격성은 어떠한 차이가 있는지 살펴보고, 나아가 신체적 관계적 공격성이 교사-유아관계와 또래유능성에 미치는 상대적 영향력을 살펴보고자 한다. 본 연구대상은 만 3세에서 만 5세 유아 250명과 담당교사 52명을 대상으로 하였으며 공격성, 교사-유아관계와 또래유능성을 응답하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연령에 따른 유아의 공격성은 만 4세가 관계적, 신체적 공격성을 더 많이 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성에 따른 유아의 공격성은 남아가 관계적, 신체적 공격성이 모두 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 유아의 공격성과 교사-유아관계에 미치는 상대적 영향력을 살펴본 결과 유아의 공격성이 높을수록 교사-유아관계에서 친밀감이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 교사-유아관계에서 갈등이 높고 의존이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 유아의 공격성이 또래유능성에 미치는 상대적 영향력을 살펴본 결과 관계적 신체적 공격성이 높을수록 공격적 과잉활동적 행동이 더 높게 나타나며, 비사교적인 행동도 높게 나타났으며 유아의 연령이 높을수록 관계적 공격성이 높을수록 친사회적 행동이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 교사 유아의 관계향상과 교사들에게는 유아의 발달에 도움이 되는 방향을 제시하고 유아의 또래유능성 개선과 어려움을 감소시키는 여러 방안을 모색하고자 하였다.

This case study aims to investigate how a primary English teacher's professional development was pursued through novice teacher mentoring after the six-month intensive in-service teacher training program(IIETTP). The teacher was involved in mentoring two novice teachers working at the same school. They observed each other's classes and exchanged their views on the classes, focusing on areas to be improved. The observation was done within a framework that consisted of pre-, during- and post-observation sessions. Data was gathered through retrospective entries kept after the post-observation meetings. The entries were categorized according to their saliency, frequency and recurring patterns identified. The findings reveal that learning from the training course could be applied professionally and could serve to bridge the gap between training and teaching. It is also shown that the mentee teachers' professional development was enhanced and the mentor teacher herself benefited from the collaborative learning process involved with working with the novice teachers. Some suggestions are made for the effective implementation of school-based teacher development programs after the IIETTP.

Methods: The participants were 3,186 teachers in Seoul. Data were collected through an on-line survey system from November 16 to December 7, 2008. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Scheffe's test using PASW 18.0 program. Results: Teacher's satisfaction with teacher health examination was low and needs for detailed tests of cancer and vocal cord disorders were high. Teacher's satisfaction with teacher health promotion programs was low and needs for stress management, exercise and vocal cord protection program were high. Conclusion: Vocal cord disorders should be included in teacher health examination and vocal cord protection program should be provided for teacher's health promotion. Stress management and exercise program should also be provided for teacher's health promotion.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether the present Korean teacher education programs for secondary science teachers are effective in improving the teacher conceptions of constructivism and STS. It is because the current Korean National Science Curriculum is consistent with both ideas as reforms. The teacher education programs sampled in the research included pre-service programs and two types of in-service programs. These two were the Qualifying In-service Program and the Iowa Korean Science Teachers Workshop. The Iowa Program was considered as an experimental program emphasized the constructivist perspective. Specially designed questionnaires for identifying teacher conceptions before and after the programs were administered. The conceptions about constructivism and STS improved as a result of the instruction in both of the pre-service and in-service teacher education programs. The pre-service program was more effective than the in-service programs in improving the teacher conceptions of both constructivism and STS. The Qualifying Inservice program was less effective than Iowa Korean Science Teachers Workshop. It was necessary for inservice programs for Korean secondary science teachers to be more emphasized on constructivism and STS. Iowa Korean Science Teachers Workshop provided a possible example to design a new special in-service program focused on constructivist perspectives as a way of aligning the Korean National Science Curriculum more quickly with recommended teaching practices in Korean schools.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the elementary school teachers' perceptions about the science subject exclusive system. For this study, we developed the questionnaire to investigate teachers' perceptions and 43 elementary school teachers participated in the questionnaire test. And we used participation observation method to investigate characteristics the exclusive elementary science teacher and the elementary school homeroom teacher's science classes. After participation observation, we had interviews with exclusive elementary school science teacher and elementary school homeroom teacher. The results showed that elementary school teachers thought the science subject exclusive system was very necessary. And elementary school teachers thought that the exclusive elementary science teacher had higher professionality about teaching science subject than the homeroom teacher. Then, they expected that the strong points of science subject exclusive system would be some solution to the weak points of homeroom teachers' science classes. We suggested that it must be to enlarge the science subject exclusive system and develope in-service teacher program for the exclusive elementary science teachers.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between child care teachers' mindfulness, burnout, and sensitivity. Also, the effects of child care teachers' mindfulness on teacher sensitivity, including the mediating effects of burnout, were investigated. Methods: A total of 263 child care teachers who work in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon participated in this study. Data were analyzed by correlations and regressions using SPSS 21.0. Results: First, there were significant correlations between child care teachers' mindfulness, burnout and teacher sensitivity. Second, the relationship between mindfulness and teacher sensitivity was partially mediated by burnout. To be specific, mindfulness not only had a direct effect on teacher sensitivity, but also had an indirect effect on teacher sensitivity through burnout. Among the three dimensions of burnout, the decrease of personal accomplishments had the biggest significant mediation effect on the relationship between mindfulness and teacher sensitivity. Conclusion/Implications: In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of mindfulness in reducing burnout and enhancing teacher sensitivity toward children. Also, this research has implications for future research regarding the mindfulness of child care teachers and offers a foundation for the development of mindfulness training programs for child care teachers.

본 연구의 목적은 교사들의 커뮤니티에 관한 이전 논문들을 살펴봄으로써 수학교육 연구 에 기여하고자 함이다. 이를 위해, 다양한 교사 커뮤니티들, 예를 들어 스터디 그룹, 비디오 클럽, 일본의 수업 연구 등을 다룬 연구들을 살펴보았다. 교사 커뮤니티는 교사들의 전문성 향상을 위해 연구되기 시작했고, 실제로 교사들의 전문성 향상에 도움이 된다는 연구들이 많이 존재한다. 선행 연구들을 통해 우리나라에서도 교사 커뮤니티를 통한 연구가 필요하며 교사 연수 등에 커뮤니티를 활용하는 방안 등을 찾아야 한다는 것을 제안한다.
