The enhancement of the quality of the teaching practice is a major factor in securing better schooling opportunities for students. In this article, initial teacher preparation of secondary school Earth science teachers, in-service science teacher education, and improving teacher policy are discussed. Data from in-depth interviews with exemplary science teachers were used to explore how to improve the quality of science teacher education in Korea. In terms of preservice teacher education, most exemplary teachers contended that teacher education programs should provide preservice teachers with practical knowledge by translating theory into practice. Their suggestions for how to improve in-service education are also discussed. Regarding directions of improving teacher policy in Korea, the teachers proposed an alternative teacher-promotion structure that incorporates the master-teacher position. Implications for introducing action research courses into teacher (re)education programs are also discussed.

The purposes of this case study were (1) to explore one experienced teacher's views on Earth Systems Education and (2) to describe and document the characteristics of the Earth Systems Education (ESE) curriculum provided by an exemplary middle school science teacher, Dr. J. All the essential pieces of evidence were collected from observations, interviews with the experienced teacher and his eighth grade students, informal conversations, document analysis, and field notes. The $NUD^*IST$ for MS Windows was used for an initial data reduction process and to narrow down the focus of an analysis. All transcriptions and written documents were reviewed carefully and repeatedly to find rich evidence through inductive and content analysis. The findings revealed that ESE provided a conceptual focus and theme for organizing his school curriculum. The curriculum offered opportunities for students to learn relevant local topics and to connect the classroom learning to the real world. The curriculum also played an important role in developing students' value and appreciation of Earth systems and concern for the local environment. His instructional strategies were very compatible with recommendations from a constructivist theory. His major teaching methodology and strategies were hands-on learning, authentic activities-based learning, cooperative learning, project-based learning (e.g., mini-projects), and science field trips. With respect to his views about benefits and difficulties associated with ESE, the most important benefit was that the curriculum provided authentic-based, hands-on activities and made connections between students and everyday life experiences. In addition, he believed that it was not difficult to teach using ESE. However, the lack of time devoted to field trips and a lack of suitable resource materials were obstacles to the implementation of the curriculum. Implications for science education and future research are suggested.

This qualitative research describes unique features of seven exemplary science teachers' professional development activities. Description of excellence in effective teachers' professional development efforts will provide some insights into required inservice initiatives and support systems for teachers' professional learning. Exemplary science teachers' professional development activities can be classified into four types: (1) practicing classroom supervision, (2) participating in voluntary communities of teachers, (3) playing instructional leader roles in teacher training programs, and (4) continuing one's studies at a graduate school. One of the common features of these exemplary teachers was that they can both articulate what makes teachers professionals and practice in accordance with their perspectives. These exemplary teachers not only improved their own classroom practices, but also participated actively in various professional communities to share their practical knowledge with their colleagues. The teachers have formed special-interest groups to investigate better ways of science teaching. They also took an active role in teachers' in-service education. Teachers' quality practices lie at the heart of classroom change. However, it's important to remember that there must be a support system that sustains and encourages teachers' initiatives. The implications for the support system to encourage teachers' professional development efforts are discussed.

이 연구에서는 중등 예비화학교사의 수업 계획에서 교사용 지도서의 활용 방식을 분석하였다. 서울 소재 사범대학에 재학 중인 11명의 예비교사가 연구에 참여하였다. 예비교사들에게 교과서와 교사용 지도서 및 부속자료를 제공하고 이를 활용하여 일반적인 수업과 과학 교수학습 모형을 활용한 수업을 계획하도록 하였다. 예비교사들이 작성한 교수학습 지도안과 활동지, 면담 결과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 대부분의 예비교사들은 교사용 지도서의 차시 구분을 그대로 따랐으나, 전체 대단원의 차시 구성이나 교육과정 상의 내용 간 연계에 대한 고려는 부족하였다. 또한, 수업에 적용할 모형을 선정할 때 제시된 예시 지도안의 도움을 받는 경우도 있었다. 교수학습 활동 측면에서 일반적인 수업에서는 교과서의 탐구 활동에 제시된 질문을 변형하였고, 모형을 적용한 수업에서는 모형의 각 단계에 맞춰 교과서의 탐구 활동을 변형하였다. 대부분의 예비교사들이 부속자료로 제공된 활동지를 활용하지 않고 교사용 지도서와 부속자료를 응용하여 활동지를 제작하였다. 예비교사들은 예시 지도안에 제시된 평가 단계를 보고 교수학습 평가 요소를 인식하였으나, 교과서나 교사용 지도서, 부속자료를 응용하여 주로 내용 지식을 평가하기 위한 지필평가를 계획하였다. 예비교사들은 교사용 지도서에 제시된 소단원 도입 질문이 학생의 흥미 유발에 효과적이지 않다고 평가하여, 이를 변형하거나 새로운 내용을 추가하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 예비교사 교육과정에서 예비교사의 PDC 향상을 위한 교사용 지도서의 효과적인 활용 방안과 교사용 지도서의 개선 방향에 대해 논의하였다.

Curriculum reform has been a significant emphasis for most of countries all over the world for the past few years. It was the first time for Taiwan to develop a new Science and Life Technology curriculum Standards (SaLTS) for grades 1 through 9 compulsory educations. The SaLTS features integrated science content with the aim at motivating students to learn science and encouraging students to apply science to their everyday life, which is practically well aligned with the philosophical essence and foundations of Earth Systems Education (ESE). This paper calls attention to the importance of the inclusion of ESE into the forthcoming science curricula of Taiwan and worldwide and provides some exemplary ESE-inspired curriculum and instructional modules that have been successfully implemented in the secondary schools of Taiwan. Hopefully, this paper can shed some lights on the future development of the ESE-based science curricula, instructional modules, and teacher preparation programs.
