The purpose of teacher education is to improve the professionalism of teachers above the current level. The type of teacher education to improve the professionalism of experienced teachers is broadly divided into top-down education and bottom-up education. So far, studies on top-down education were commonly conducted in the field of Korean language education. However, there has been an increasing number of studies emphasizing the need for bottom-up education, driven by the voluntary participation of teachers in recent years. The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction of reflective teacher education for experienced Korean language teachers. For this purpose, a survey was conducted of 71 Korean language teachers who had more than 5 years of experience. The contents of the survey consisted of opinions regarding existing teacher education, the need for reflective teacher education, and the perception of teaching professionalism. The results showed that experienced Korean language teachers had a positive perception of the existing teacher re-education experience. Also, 91% of the respondents said they intend to participate in the reflective teacher education program. In particular, respondents showed high demands for 'peer coaching', 'peer observation', and 'teaching portfolios' among reflective teacher education programs. Lastly, many respondents selected 'development and utilization of teaching materials', 'encouraging learner's utterances', and 'leading learner's interest and motivation' as sub-elements of teaching professionalism that they wish to improve through teacher re-education.

The purpose of this study is to examine Korean teachers' needs in in-service teacher training and variables related to their needs. This study was conducted with teachers from Korean language centers in Korean universities. The following three research questions were investigated: (1) What are the teachers' experiences of Korean language teaching and in-service teacher training? (2) What are the teachers' needs and expectations for the content and components of in-service education programs? Are there any disparity between teachers' needs and institutional needs? (3) What are the variables to be considered in designing an effective in-service teacher education program? In order to answer the research questions, a survey was developed and distributed to university Korean language institutions and Korean language teachers. The results indicated that both institutions and teachers are highly aware of the importance of the need for in-service teacher training. The results also suggested that a more teacher-centered, bottom-up approach should be implemented for successful outcomes of teacher education programs. Based on the results, this study offers a summary of the need for in-service teacher training and variables (both individual teacher variables and environmental variables) to be considered in designing the content and components of a teacher education program.

The author investigated the momentum of the maker movement and its educational implications with the following four research questions: 1. What is the maker movement? 2. What is the nature of our societal interest in the maker movement? 3. Which learning theories are associated with the maker movement? 4. What are the educational implications of the maker movement? The author reviewed the history of education in terms of the maker movement and concluded that Papert's learning-by-making approach provided a theoretical foundation of the maker movement. The maker movement aims to engage participants in Do-It-Yourself(DIY) activities, the spirit of tinkering, and a hands-on approach. Also, the maker movement meets the educational demands of fostering students' 21st-century abilities and technological literacy. Lastly, the author anticipated the issues that may arise following the introduction of the maker movement in K-12 schools. In conclusion, the author discussed the challenges of the school maker education movement and suggested the bottom-up approach to utilize the school resources of technology and engineering education.

2015 개정 교육과정의 주요한 변화 가운데 하나로 연극교육의 강화를 들 수 있다. 그래서 중등교육의 장에서 청소년 희곡에 관한 분석과 논의가 절실해졌다. 이런 시대적인 요구에 따라 이 글에서는 배봉기의 희곡집에 반영된 청소년들의 갈등 양상이 어떠한지를 고찰하였다. 배봉기는 그의 희곡집에서 청소년 대부분이 느끼는 '대학 입시'로 인한 갈등과 함께, '공연 내용 결정'으로 인한 갈등을 청소년의 주요한 갈등으로 문제 삼고 있다. 와 <이런 물음표>에서는 '대학입시라는 자장' 속에서 성적이 상위권인 학생과 하위권인 학생을 주목하고 있다. 두 희곡은 성적을 향상하기 위해 고민하고 있는 청소년들의 갈등에 초점을 두었다. 이 갈등은 비록 상위권과 하위권 학생이 서로 처지는 다르지만, 모든 학생들이 학교에 가기를 거부할 만큼 무겁다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 <'나'를 위한 이유>에서 다룬 '공연 내용 결정'에서 청소년의 권리 또한 교사의 교육권과 충돌하고 있어서 해결하기 어렵다. 앞으로 청소년 삶의 본질적인 갈등을 반영한 많은 희곡이 만들어져 청소년 연극이 풍성해지고, 이에 관한 논의가 활성화되길 기대한다.
