  • This study analyzes elementary school teachers' perception of Artificial Intelligence, educational effect, and necessity in education. To analyze teachers' perceptions, we developed questionnaires with expert advice. We collected questionnaires for 151 elementary school teachers. The collected data were analyzed by t-test and one-way ANOVA. As a result, AI' perceptions of female teachers were lower than those of male teachers and the necessity of education was less. Teachers with experience in leading schools recognized that AI education would help to improve creativity. Teachers who have a lot of teaching experience, many experience in SW education, the experience in SW education have a high interest in AI and understand the relevance of the subject. We expect that this study will help the direction of SW education.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of science-centered convergence class program using realistic contents such as virtual reality and augmented reality on class satisfaction, scientific attitudes and the perception of the gifted students in middle school. After developing the convergence class program including realistic contents using smart devices, we applied it to the gifted students. We analyzed the class satisfaction, scientific attitude and perception of the gifted students through questionnaires. In addition, a survey was conducted on the pre-teachers to investigate and analyze the class satisfaction, scientific attitude of the science class program to students and the perception of science classes using realistic contents. As a result, both students and pre-teachers were positively aware of class satisfaction by science class program using realistic contents. In particular, it was positive in that the class can induce learning motivation and interest. On the other hand, it was pointed out that the low-quality App and lack of infra for smart devices were disadvantages. In addition, pre-teachers lack confidence and information about class using the realistic contents, but they recognize the need of classes using realistic contents for students and education for pre-teachers. Based on this, it obtained suggestions on the preparation of facilities and equipment in schools for future education, development of contents that can be used for convergence class, development of programs and teaching·learning materials using realistic contents, and education for pre-teachers.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate elementary and middle school teachers' perception and the need for the application of 2015 revised science curriculum. Four hundred and sixty-eight elementary school teachers and four hundred and twenty-two middle school teachers were surveyed. The results of the research are as follows. many elementary and middle school teachers responded that major changes in the 2015 revised curriculum were applicable in school science education. However, they expected that the lack of teaching and learning materials, lack of experiment preparation time, and lack of their understanding about how to improve the scientific core competencies and how to use the content system were major difficulties in applying the major changes in the 2015 revised science curriculum. They also thought that teaching and learning materials were needed in order to apply the 2015 revised science curriculum. Based on these results, this study suggested content for teacher training, the role of teachers, and formation of a teacher community.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate how elementary science specialized teachers operate and how they have a perception of the science class in the COVID-19 situation. The number of participants in the study is 21 who are dedicated to science subjects in 2020. 21 teachers were given an open survey of science classes and future directions in the COVID-19 situation, and 8 out of 21 teachers were interviewed in-depth on how and why they did so. As a result of the study, first, the science classes before and after COVID-19 of primary science teachers were different. Under the COVID-19 situation, teachers identified the characteristics of online and offline classes and operated them in a way that was specific to their characteristics. Second, there was a common perception of teachers' classes on the basis of this science class operation style, which is that science classes should be operated as activities, that I would like to have classes that suit my taste as long as the policy allows, and that online classes cause students to lose motivation and widen their educational gap.

  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemics, Romanian schools functioned online since March 2020, with more or less all school activities being implemented online, using the digital resources and technology. Although none of the key factors involved in education (teachers, pupils, parents) were prepared (emotionally, technically, economically etc.), online education was imposed ad a necessity to continue the teaching-learning-evaluation process, and teachers at all school levels were forced to rapidly adapt to online schooling. In this paper, we aim to investigate the perception of all three educational actors (pupils, parents and teachers) regarding the efficacy of online teaching and learning, based on a survey with 7701 respondents. Research data is relevant for online schooling in Romania between March 2020 and March 2021.

  • In this study, nations with high academic achievement but disparate affective achievement in science according to the results of the TIMSS 2007 were selected and students' responses in the main survey for affective properties from those nations were analyzed. In addition, Korean science teachers' perception of affective achievement and the properties of teaching and learning science was explored by an online survey. According to the results of the analysis of students' responses in the main survey, the percentage of those with high levels of confidence in, pleasure in, and value perception of science was large for Hong Kong, Singapore, and England but small for Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. When the properties of teaching and learning in actual science classes were observed in Korea, actual classes focused little on experimentation, research activities, and the context of everyday life. According to the results of surveys conducted on science teachers, students' low confidence in science was due to difficult and uninteresting curricula and the absolute lack of time to study science and their low interest in the subject was due to difficult curricula and the view that science was unrelated to their future academic or professional careers. In addition, according to the teachers, students' low value perception of science curricula was due to the fact that there was no need to excel in science for academic or professional careers and the idea that the subject was of no help to daily life.

  • This study aims to propose educational information services for social science teachers by analyzing their information seeking behaviors. The author carried out in-depth interviews with thirteen social science teachers in Daejeon and analyzed them using an information seeking behavior model of Leckie, Pettigrew and Sylvain. The study results showed that information needs of social science teachers arise from extrinsic and intrinsic motivations according to their work roles and tasks. Also, the characteristics of information needs such as repeatability, predictability, urgency, and complexity appear to influence information seeking behaviors. The participants used various information sources including web, book, and interpersonal sources. Moreover, the study observed some factors that may influence perception toward information sources such as trustworthiness, information quality, packaging, prior success experience. Finally, the perception change and use frequency of information sources were also identified. Based on these findings, the author proposed information services for social science teachers including integrated information provision services, information literacy programs, networking services and readers advisory services.
