This study examined the concern levels of primary school teachers regarding transitional education from early childhood phase to primary education. Concern Based Adoption Model (CBAM) instrument of Hall and Hord (2006) was used to survey 104 primary school teachers. The results indicated that the majority of respondents' concern level was at 'informational' level (stage 1). And first peak of concern level was at 'unconcerned' level (stage 0). The first-second peak analysis of stage 0 (unconcerned) group indicated that there were 5 types of groups and each had distinguished features. Finally there were statistical differences at the unconcerned stage by in-service training and career of the first-year class. A discussion of the limitations of this study and implications for teacher education programs and operational support systems were suggested.

Teachers' personal knowledge (PK) is an element in their pedagogic-practical knowledge. This study exposes the PK of primary school mathematics teachers regarding solid geometry through reflection. Students are exposed to solid geometry on various levels, from kindergarten age and above. Previous studies attested to the fact that students encounter difficulties-strong dislike and fear engendered by geometry. A good number of teachers have strong dislike to solid geometry, as well. Therefore, those engaged in teaching the subject must address the problem and try to overcome these difficulties. In this paper we have introduced the reflective process among teachers in primary school, including application of Van-Hiele's theory to solid geometry.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the predictive powers of the five technostress creators - techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty - in job satisfaction and teacher efficacy of primary school teachers in Korea when they incorporated mobile technology into teaching. A questionnaire was designed to measure the level of teacher's stress from technology, job satisfaction and teacher efficacy. Data were collected from 164 teachers. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to explain which area of technostress led to varying degrees of job satisfaction and teacher efficacy. The results showed that techno-complexity alone predicted both job satisfaction and teacher efficacy. The reason why techno-complexity was the only predictor is that teachers would have first needed to understand how to incorporate mobile technology into teaching, before feeling overloaded, invaded, insecure, or uncertain about it, meaning techno-complexity precedes other constructs. Therefore, the only stress factor that affected them was how to understand the complexity of mobile technology. This calls for adequate training and support from schools and governments in order for the teachers to fully incorporate technology into teaching.

본 연구는 아프리카 말라위에서 초등학교 교사가 사회정서학습에 대해 어떻게 인식하고 있는지를 살펴보기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해 말라위 농촌 지역에 소재한 9개 초등학교의 교사 78명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 집단별 평균비교, 상관관계분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 말라위 초등교사의 사회정서학습에 대한 인식은 안정감 4.10, 참여의지 4.59, 학교풍토 3.78로 나타났다. 둘째, 말라위 초등교사의 개인 특성 중에서 연령, 교직경력, 사회정서학습 관련 연수 경험에 따라 사회정서학습의 참여의지와 학교풍토에 대한 인식에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 말라위 초등교사의 사회정서학습 실천 정도는 4.01이고, 개인 특성 중에서 교직경력에 따라 유의한 차이가 존재했다. 넷째, 사회정서학습에 대한 인식의 하위 요인 중에서 안정감은 사회정서학습의 실천에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과는 말라위 초등학교에서 교사들이 사회정서학습을 실천하는데 어려움을 겪는 이유가 자신의 역량 부족뿐만 아니라, 그것에 대해 불편함을 갖고 있기 때문임을 시사한다. 따라서 말라위 초등학교에서 교사들이 사회정서학습을 실천하기 위해서는 교사가 이러한 활동에 대해 심리적으로 자신감과 편안함을 갖도록 지원해야 한다.

This study investigated the impact of entry level of mathematics subject knowledge on student teachers' mathematics pedagogical content knowledge development and performance in mathematics teaching practice. The sample consisted of 24 mathematics student teachers, 12 of whom passed A-Level mathematics and 12 of whom only passed O-level mathematics. They were all studying in a 4-year bachelor of education (Honours/Primary) programme; they were either majoring or minoring in mathematics. Results showed that student teachers' entry-level mathematics subject knowledge is not related to their mathematics pedagogical content knowledge development or their mathematics teaching performance. These findings may lead society to consider whether student teachers who have passed O-level mathematics are already eligible to be trained as professional primary mathematics teachers. As a consequence, this study raises the issues of how to develop student teachers' mathematics pedagogical content knowledge and whether we need to restructure our bachelor of education (Primary) programmes' curriculum in teacher professionalism.

Although Toxoplasma gondii infection in primary school children has been investigated in many countries, limited surveys have been available in primary school children in China. In the present study, we report the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in primary school children in Shandong province, China. Sera from 6,000 primary school children were evaluated for T. gondii antibodies with ELISA. The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii infection was 16.0% (961/6,000), of which 14.5% (870/6,000) were positive for anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies, 3.4% (206/6,000) positive for IgM, and 1.9% (115/6,000) were positive for both IgG and IgM. The results of the present investigation indicated a high seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in primary school children in Shandong province, China. Therefore, effective measures should be taken to prevent and control T. gondii infection in primary school children in this province. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of T. gondii seroprevalence in primary school children in Shandong province, China.

본 연구에서는 초등학교 과학수업의 실태를 탐구하고 그 개선 방안을 탐색하였다. 초등학교 과학수업의 경우 교사들 스스로 과학개념이나 내용에서 오개념을 갖고 있는 경우가 많이 발견된다. 이렇듯 초등교사들이 과학에 부담을 느끼고 과학내용지식에 부족함을 느끼는 상태에서 수업을 하게 되면, 좋은 수업이나 학생들에게 유의미한 수업이 되기는 어렵다고 경력교사들은 지적하였다. 이러한 초등학교 수업의 전반적인 특징과 초등교사들의 과학내용지식에 대한 문제의식에 대한 이해를 토대로 본 연구에서는 초등학교 과학수업의 실태를 탐구하였다. 수업동영상 분석을 위한 컨설팅 협의회, 초등교사와의 면담 등을 활용하여 학생들이 초등학교 저학년에서는 과학을 가장 선호하다가 고학년이 되면서 과학을 가장 기피하는 이유, 초등 과학수업에서 활동이나 실험이 반드시 필요한 이유, 초등 과학수업에서 hands-on 활동에 머물지 않고 minds-on 활동을 만드는 방안 등을 논의하였다. 또한 초등 과학수업을 개선하기 위한 방안으로 초등교사의 과학내용전문성 재교육의 필요성, 초등과 중등 간의 교류의 필요성, 초임교사 지원을 위한 공식적인 입문 프로그램의 필요성, 초등학교 5, 6학년의 경우 교과전담 체제 도입의 필요성 등을 논의하였다. 연구결과를 토대로 초등학교 과학수업 내실화를 위해 요청되는 초등학교 현직교사 연수 방안을 제언하였다.

본 연구는 초등 예비교사들이 수학적 게임을 변형하는 과정에서 그들이 경험한 수학적 탐구 활동의 사례를 분석하였다. 예비교사들은 기존의 수학적 게임을 변형하거나 새로운 게임을 개발하는 과정에서 수학적 문제 제기, 수학적 추측과 반박, 새로운 수학적 표현 생성 등의 수학적 탐구 활동을 경험할 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 수학적 탐구의 경험은 예비교사들의 수학교육에 대한 관점의 변화를 유도하였다. 본 연구를 통해 수학적 게임 변형 활동이 예비교사에게 수학적 탐구의 기회를 제공하는 수단이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
