이 연구에서는 예비 과학교사들이 작성한 웹기반 반성저널을 분석하였다. 예비 과학교사들에게 4주간의 실습 기간 동안 매주 최소한 2개 이상의 반성저널을 웹 게시판에 작성하도록 안내하였다. 최종적으로 23명의 예비 과학교사가 작성한 307개의 웹기반 반성저널을 분석대상으로 선정하여, 주제 영역과 반성적 사고 수준을 분석하였다. 반성저널은 대부분 수업 준비나 자신의 수업에 대한 성찰과 같이 과학 수업 활동과 관련된 것들이었으며, 실습 진행에 따라 점차 빈도가 증가하였다. 과학 수업 활동과 직접적으로 연관이 있는 179개의 반성저널의 반성적 사고의 수준을 분석한 결과, 반성적 사고가 포함된 반성저널은 53개(29.6%)였는데, 상위 수준의 반성적 사고(전문적 반성과 비판적 반성)는 매우 적었지만, 상당수의 예비교사들이 웹기반 반성저널 쓰기 활동이 자신의 수업을 되돌아보고, 교육실습 활동의 기록을 남기는 데 도움이 된다고 인식하였다.

In this study, the researcher aimed to increase productive reflection of pre-service elementary teachers through meta-analysis of their own reflective journals. The meta-analysis activities are expected to enhance their learning effectively as a kind of self-assesment. During 8 week simulation teaching, 26 pre-service teachers kept individual journal writing and the meta-analysis activities were implemented twice (after the 3rd and 8th week). Right after the first meta-analysis, the pre-service teachers' productive reflection increased clearly. However this would not guarantee the effect would last long time period. By analyzing 8 week reflective journals, reports on meta-analysis activities and small group interview, this study shed light on practical ways of enhancing reflective teacher education.

Objective: This study aimed to show and analyze the flow, content, and meaning of (prospective) early childhood educators reflective thoughts entailed in the process of planning, implementing and evaluating storybook reading by analyzing reflective journals written by technical college students enrolled in an advanced major curriculum after they completed a storybook reading assignment. Methods: The subjects of this study were 39 technical college students enrolled in an advanced major curriculum that participated in a 15-week-long 'storybook seminar' course. This study analyzed journals on storybook reading written by the students as an assignment for the storybook seminar course. Results: As a result, four categories of selecting a storybook, planning the reading of the selected storybook, actual reading of the storybook and subsequent activities were extracted according to the implementation process of storybook reading. Through this series of experiences, (prospective) early childhood educators had a childt-centered view of reading picture books, changed the method of reading picture books, re-recognized the importance of early childhood literature education, and developed a will to develop professionalism through reflective thinking. Conclusion/Implications: This study finds its meaning in showing the reflective thinking that occur within early childhood educators that plan, implement and evaluate storybook reading.

For decades, reflection has been recognised as a meaningful tool to bring forth teachers' ownership as well as knowledge and action empowerment in teacher education. Yet there have been few studies on elementary teachers' reflection on their science teaching in Korea. In this study, 71 reflective journals of 24 elementary teachers on their science teaching were analyzed. The characteristics of reflective journals were analyzed in terms of 'productive reflection', a concept suggested by Davis (2006). Unproductive reflection is mainly descriptive without analysis, whereas productive reflection can promote teachers' learning by integrating four aspects of teaching (learner/learning, subject matter knowledge, instruction and assessment). The result showed what elementary teachers consider and emphasize and how they integrate their ideas. Most of reflective journals included aspects of 'instruction', 'learner/learning', and 'subject matter knowledge'. However 'instruction' was emphasized most frequently (69.0%) than 'subject matter knowledge' (33.8%) and 'learner/learning' (26.8%). 'Assessment' was hardly included nor emphasized. More than half of the journals (56.3%) showed no integrations, which were unproductive reflection. A third of the journals (32.4%) integrated only two aspects among four. Average score of integrations was 1.6 on a scale of 4 points. The integrations were not affected by the length of reflective journals and the teaching experience. These findings suggest that productive reflection would not increase naturally with teaching experience and there needs more tactful guidance to develop elementary teachers' productive reflection on their science teaching.

본 연구에서는 교사의 학습이 일어날 수 있는 반성을 Davis(2006)의 '생산적 반성'으로 개념화하고 생산적 반성의 관점에서 초등 예비교사의 반성 저널 44개를 분석하였다. '생산적 반성'이란 한마디로 교사의 학습을 증진시킬 수 있는 반성을 말하며 반대로 '비생산적인 반성'이란 수업의 여러 측면들을 단순히 기술하며 분석이 거의 없고, 여러 아이디어를 연관시키기보다는 나열만 하는 경우를 말한다. 생산적 반성이 일어나고 있는지의 여부는 수업의 제 측면('지도', '내용 지식', '학습자/학습', '평가')을 얼마나 연결지어 생각하는지(통합), 그리고 얼마나 분석적으로 생각하는지(분석)로 살펴볼 수 있다. 분석 결과 초등 예비교사는 자신의 수업에 대한 반성에서 대부분 '지도', '내용 지식', '학습자/학습'의 세 측면을 포함하고 있지만(86.4%) '학습자/학습'이나 '내용 지식'의 측면을 강조하는 경우(각각 36.4%, 15.9%)보다는 '지도'측면을 강조하는 경우가 훨씬 많았다(86.4%). 이에 반해 '평가'측면은 반성 저널에서 언급된 경우가 거의 없으며 전혀 강조되고 있지도 않았다. 수업의 제 측면을 연관 지어 생각하거나 분석적으로 생각하는 생산적 반성의 수준은 다소 낮은 것으로 나타났다(4점 만점에 1.8점). 반성 저널의 대부분은 '학습자/학습'과 '지도'두 가지 측면에서만 통합을 보였으며(72.7%) 전혀 통합이 없는 저널도 22.7%나 되었다. 이러한 결과는 예비교사가 수업에서 일어난 일을 해석하고 수업의 대안을 모색하는 과정에서 평가 측면을 보다 주목하고 고려할 수 있도록 하고, 피드백이나 토론 등을 통하여 수업의 제 측면을 연관시키고 통합시킬 수 있도록 안내하는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.

This study aims to analyze middle school students' systemic thinking to express organic relations between different organ systems about the movement of food and air and teachers' reflective thinking about science teaching through their reflective journals after the lesson of digestion, circulation, respiration and excretion. Firstly, when investigating the moving route of hamburger eaten inside the body, students expressed the names, locations and forms of organs in the digestive system more than those in the circulatory system or the excretory system. When investigating the moving route of a painkiller taken inside the body, students seemed to have more difficulty in expressing the related organ systems than when investigating the moving route of other things, and they mostly drew pictures of organs in the digestive system as done for the moving route of hamburger. However, when investigating the moving route of water drunk inside the body, students mostly described organs in the digestive system but drew more pictures of organs in the excretory system, than when investigating the moving route of other things. When investigating the moving route of air inhaled inside the body, students mostly drew pictures of organs in the respiratory system, but the rate of their drawing pictures of circulatory organs was low. Secondly, this study analyzed one of the teachers' reflective journals, named Mr. Park. According to his journal, students showed different levels of understanding of organ names, depending on their degrees of familiarity with each organ, and in regard to the locations of organs, science teachers mostly aim to achieve learning objectives so much that they often forget to instruct the locations of organs in fact. As for the forms of organs, science teachers mostly spend so much time explaining the functions of organs that they often forget to describe the exact form of each organ.

In this study, the researcher aimed to increase productive reflection of pre-service elementary teachers through reflective journal writing and discussion after science peer teaching practice. 'Productive reflection' involves consideration and analysis of interrelationships among aspects of teaching including learners and learning, subject matter knowledge, assessment, and instruction. During 8 week efforts, productive reflection has increased gradually in both individual journal and class discussion. However half of individual journals didn't show productive reflection even in the final stage. This implicated that development of reflective thinking is an achievable but progressive change. By describing the progress in discussion and participants' responses on journal writing and discussion activity, this study shed light on practical ways of enhancing reflective teacher education.

Team project learning is a type of Project-Based Learning, which is an effective learning method for developing collaborative competency and interpersonal communication skills, as well as for developing cognitive competency such as critical thinking, creative thinking, and analytical skills. This research, conducted to analyze learning activities, focuses on students' creative thinking and activities in TPBL(Team Project-Based Learning). A qualitative approach including a reflective journal based on the 6 stages of TPBL, was adopted for this purpose. In this study, 69 reflective journals on the three stages (developing a theme, researching, theme-making) of 23 undergraduate students were categorized on the basis of three criteria: divergent thinking factors, convergent thinking factors and affective factors. The results show that the participants' journals demonstrated twenty-eight activities from nine cognitive factors and nine activities from three affective factors were derived from reflect journal. This finding indicates that more appropriate instructional strategies are needed for students to enhance their creative thinking skills and activities

Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the variation in perceptions about problem-based learning(PBL) according to the level of academic achievement and learning attitude in the nursing students of a junior college (3-year program). Method: Students (n=39) learned the respiratory and cardiac system with seven PBL packages and group-based learning for a semester in 2002. Students were asked to write reflective journals that focused on their learning perception after an experience with each learning package. A total of 208 journals were used for analysis. Result: Students positively perceived that PBL making them increase their sense of responsibility for learning and felt satisfaction with the learning process, and had a confidence in the use of clinical nursing interventions. On the other hand, they negatively perceived that PBL was a burden because it took more time than traditional learning tasks, and they experienced an anxiety about regular tests and felt conflicts and diffidences in the learning process. The negative perceptions were expressed more often from students with a low academic achievement and low learning attitude compared to others. Conclusion: Students perceived the PBL as effective in understanding the learning concepts in the clinical practice environment. PBL need to be supplemented by feedback-based lecture and facilitative strategies for academically low-achieved students.Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the variation in perceptions about problem-based learning(PBL) according to the level of academic achievement and learning attitude in the nursing students of a junior college (3-year program).

In the age of information, newly produced knowledge is mostly written in English. Therefore, there has been a strong demand for English language learning in the EFL context. However, most EFL learners possess a lack of interest and motivation in the text-based reading class. In this educational context, film is one of the most widely used materials in English reading classes considering that modern learners are predominantly familiar with various audiovisual materials. The purpose of this study is to investigate how Korean EFL learners experienced in the film-based reading class. Specifically, this study aims to analyze the EFL students' perceptions about the class and learning strategies that they used during the class. In order to comprehensively interpret the EFL learners' experiences in the classroom, a coding system consisting of five categories was developed: report, emotion, reflection, evaluation, future plans. The results of data analysis showed that the use of movies in English reading classes had positive effects on reading comprehension and inference of word meaning. The most frequently used learning strategies were affective strategies which helped them control their emotion, attitude, motivations and values, whereas memorization strategies were rarely used. In this respect, this study suggests that the use of movies in the EFL reading classroom encourage students' attention and help them obtain and activate schema which is useful in gaining a better understanding of text-based reading materials.
