본 연구는 초등학교 과학 수업에서 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념이 교수 실제와 어떤 관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 초등학교 교사 4명을 대상으로 리커트식 설문 조사와 면담을 통하여 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념을 알아보았다. 그리고 각 교사당 2차시의 수업에 대하여 실제 수업 관찰 및 수업 후 면담을 통하여 수업 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 과학학습에 대한 신념에서 전통적 관점을 보인 A교사와 B교사는 교수 실제에서도 교사 중심의 설명식 수업을 진행하였다. 반면에 상대적으로 구성주의적인 신념을 보인 C교사와 D교사는 교수 실제에서 교과서 내용을 재구성하고 다양한 교수 방법과 전략을 활용하는 수업을 진행하였다. 초등 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념에는 교사간에 차이가 있었으며, 이러한 신념의 차이는 대체적으로 과학 수업의 실제와도 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 토대로 초등 과학수업에서 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념의 중요성에 대하여 시사점을 논의하였다.

This study focuses on surveying and examining the beliefs of elementary pre-service and in-service teachers about science and science education. The instrument consisted of 21 items about science and science education on a 5-Likert scale(score range from 1 to 5). The one contained science knowledge and scientific invention, and the other contained science teacher, learning science and science learning and teaching. Data were collected from 76 pre-service and 96 in-service elementary teachers(24 male and 148 female). The elementary pre-service and in-service teachers had higher level belief about that science knowledge should be acquired by sequential scientific process, the beliefs of in-service teachers was more explicit than those of pre-service teachers. They had beliefs to educate learners by providing scientific joyfulness and sequential scientific process. But, in-service teachers had difficulties to perform scientific process-based activities. It is necessary to provide scientific experiences to understand the nature of science in pre-service and in-service programs.

Teachers' beliefs about teaching English are reflected in their practices in the classroom. They influence on the students' attitude to English learning. Any teacher training program expects the trainees to change or modify their existing beliefs and attitude through the new ideas and information introduced by the program toward a desired direction. The present study describes a teacher training program for elementary school English teachers and compares the beliefs of the teachers about teaching English before and after the training. The subjects are the elementary school English teachers around Chungnam area who get a special training of 120 hours during January 1997. The investigation of the subjects' beliefs on English teaching is conducted through examining two journals of each subject before and after the training. The journals show the teachers' inner flow of thought, so teacher trainers are expected to get insight on their general instructional considerations and have implications on the future teacher training program through examining these journals. In addition, the journal writing itself gives the teachers opportunity to reflect their practice and rethink about their beliefs, and develop themselves as professional English teachers.

This study explored practicing elementary school teacher's beliefs of scientific inquiry and scientific inquiry teaching methods. Defining teacher's beliefs as a broad construct, we tried to examine the teachers' understandings about the scientific inquiry and scientific inquiry teaching method. This study drew on interview data from 10 elementary teachers in busan and changwon area of korea. Conclusions of this study include; First, we found that elementary teacher's beliefs of inquiry were represented variously. And they considered that inquiry is the important goal of science education. They though that the goal of science education is development of Scientific inquiry skills, Scientific thinking skills, development of Creativity and problem solving ability, increasing interest about science, understanding of the basic concepts of science and apply of real-life. second, most of the teachers though that Scientific inquiry is scientists activities, they defined 'the process of creation of new knowledge', 'the process of deriving theory', 'solving process of intellectual curiosity', 'Problem-solving process'. third, they considered that teaching method of scientific inquiry is open inquiry activities. however, they thought that there are many difficulties to actually apply. Understanding teachers' beliefs has implications for both the enactment of inquiry teaching in the classroom as well as the uptake of new teaching behaviors during professional development, with enhanced outcomes for engaging students in Science.

The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of teacher learning and changes in teachers' epistemic beliefs within a learning community of elementary science teachers. Three in-service elementary teachers who majored in elementary science education in a doctoral course of a graduate school of education participated in the study, and learning activities in the teachers' beginning learning community provided a context for the study. Data sources included field notes produced by the researcher who engaged jointly in the teacher learning community as a coach, audio-recordings of the teachers' narratives, and artifacts generated by the teachers during the process of teacher learning. Complementary analyses of these multiple sources of data revealed that epistemic beliefs of the three elementary teachers were different and that each teacher made a different plan of science instruction based on his own epistemic belief even after the learning experiences within the teacher community. It was therefore suggested that science teacher education programs should be organized in consideration of the nature of teachers as constructivist learners and their practical resources.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between science teaching practices and beliefs about the nature of science. Defining teachers' beliefs as a broad construct, the researcher tried to examine not only the teachers' understanding about the nature of science, but also the effect and reflection in science teaching practices with regards to the nature of science. Guiding research questions were how the teachers' science teaching practices reflected their beliefs about the nature of science. The methodology of this study was qualitative approach that included interviews, classroom observations, and instructional materials. At an urban area of Korea, five beginning elementary teacher was chosen. The cross-case and grounded theory study design were adopted as data analysis process. The results of data analysis were checked by teachers for internal validity. This study identified the teachers' beliefs about the nature of science suggested by many researchers and revealed that these teachers' beliefs reflected a little in science teaching practices. On the occasion it was reflected, restricted merely within the narrow limits the way to teach the concepts and contents presented in science curriculum. In addition, some of the obstacles that these teachers' beliefs did not reflect the science teaching practices with regards to the nature of science were investigated in this study.

The purpose of this study is to consider pre-service and in-service elementary school teachers' beliefs about STS (Science-Technology-Society), by investigating their opinions on STS interactions. 222 of the seniors in Jinju National University of Education, namely pre-service elementary school teachers, and 185 of the active teachers in Kyung-Nam Province were selected as the objects for researching these matters. Their beliefs about STS interactions were examined. The results were analyzed with a percentage as an examining tool of TBA-STS(Teachers' Beliefs about Science-Technology-Society). The results were as follows; First, on the nature of science, most of them showed simple opinions. On the nature of technology, most of them also showed simple opinions. most of them recognized the interactions among science, technology, and society affirmatively. They showed simple opinions on the interactions between science and technology. In fact, they didn't recognize the interactions between science and society, but they knew the influence of technology on society relatively concretely. Second, if one consider the cognitive situation or the distributing route of STS, he can easily find that most teachers never or little know it. At present, pre-service teachers learn STS from the lectures in their universities, and in-service teachers get information about it from science magazines/newspapers and training.

이 연구에서는 개방형 설문과 면담을 통하여 초등학교 교사가 과학 교수, 과학 학습, 과학의 본성에 대하여 가진 신념의 내용과 특징을 알아보고, 그들의 일관성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 전체 30명의 교사들 중 상대적으로 많은 수의 교사가 과학 교수, 과학 학습, 과학의 본성에 대하여 전통적인 신념을 가진 것으로 나타났다(각각 60%, 66.7%, 83.3%). 세 가지 측면에 대하여 '일관적 신념'을 가진 교사의 비율은 40%였고, 두 가지 측면에서 같은 신념을 보인 '연관적 신념'을 가진 교사는 53.3%, 세 가지 측면 모두 서로 다른 신념으로 이루어진 '확산적 신념'을 가진 교사는 6.7%였다. 또 일관적 신념을 가진 교사 중 83.3%는 전통적 신념 중 내용 지식 중심의 신념을 일관적으로 가지고 있었다. 즉 일관적 신념을 보인 교사의 비율이 40%로 적지는 않지만 대부분 전통적 내용 지식 중심의 신념을 가지고 있어 바람직한 신념 체계를 이루고 있다고 보기는 어렵다. 1980년대 이후 구성주의가 널리 강조되어왔음에도 불구하고 구성주의적으로 일관된 신념을 가진 교사의 비율(6.7%)은 낮은 편이어서 교사 신념의 구조에 대한 보다 심층적인 연구가 필요하다.
