As a part of attempts to understand better mathematics classroom culture, this paper first reviews plausible factors which influence the mathematics teacher's own development of instructional goals. The proposed factors consist of teacher characteristics and sociocultural factors. The teacher factors include learning and teaching experience, knowledge, beliefs, and personality traits. The sociocultural factors include cultural and educational norms, curriculum development and administration, teacher education, and professional models with community, This paper then presents detailed interview questions to explore significant influences on the teacher's conceptions of mathematics and its teaching. The interview probes 12 topic areas: (a) early influences on becoming a teacher, (b) the decision to become a teacher, (c) the teacher education years, (d) early mathematics interests, (e) early teaching experiences, (f) career path, (g) influence of peers within the school, (h) influence of administrators, (i) professional development, (j) professional self-development, (k) mathematics teaching, and (i) educational policies.

This article investigated the effects of students' knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes about environment on environmental issue-based environmental problem solving in secondary school students. This article also investigated whether these factors are related to the environmental problem solving. Therefore, we first developed the test instruments to measure secondary school students' environmental knowledge, environmental beliefs, and environmental attitudes. Then, we developed the environmental issue-based teaching materials for secondary school students. The subjects participated in a environmental issue-based approach that consist of 3 lesson over an three weeks period. The results of this study presents that environmental knowledge and environmental beliefs are effective for the environmental problem solving in middle school environment class. First, secondary school students knew well ecological knowledge about environmental problem, and was entertaining most ecological beliefs. Second, secondary school students were having attitude which is most pro-environmental behaviors. Third, secondary school students are referring necessity of development partially about environment point at issue of country level. But, they were retaining situation of preservation about environment point at issue of area level. It's not easy to generalize these results because of many different variables, but the results suggests that teachers should make an effort to improve student's environmental problem solving ability applying environmental issue-based learning. And it's necessary to develop many kinds of environmental issues and teacher's instruction method to enrich problem solving ability in the process of environmental issue-based learning.

The purpose of this study is to investigate Korean primary school English teachers' beliefs on self-directed teaching and learning for facilitating student's self-directed learning. A survey was conducted, using 315 primary school teachers as participants. According to different school areas, sex, English teaching careers, and types of English teaching like classroom teachers or English specialist teachers, beliefs on teachers' self-directed teaching were studied based on class planning, class process, utilization of human resources, development and utilization of teaching materials and class evaluation. The results of this study are as follows: first, differences were not shown except class planning according to teachers from different school areas. Second, sex and beliefs of teachers' self-directed teaching had nothing in common. Third, differences were shown in class planning and class process, according to English teaching careers. Finally, according to types of English teaching, differences were shown in class process and development and utilization of teaching materials. The study suggests that it is necessary to conduct other studies for observing primary English classrooms focusing on teacher's self-directed decision-making.

This study aims to investigate the impact of pre-service early childhood teachers' civic awareness and multicultural beliefs on their ability to teach democratic citizenship education and to verify the mediating effect of multicultural beliefs in the relationship between civic awareness and the ability to teach democratic citizenship education. The subjects of the study were 226 pre-service early childhood teachers, and a survey was conducted. As a result of the study, first, the civic awareness of pre-service early childhood teachers influenced the ability to teach democratic citizenship education, and the influence of the sub-variables of civic awareness was in the order of rights awareness, responsibility, community awareness, and rational decision-making awareness. Second, the multicultural beliefs of pre-service early childhood teachers also affected the ability to teach democratic citizenship education, and multicultural understanding had the strongest influence among the sub-variables of multicultural beliefs. Thirdly, we found that multicultural beliefs partially mediated the relationship between civic awareness and the ability to teach democratic citizenship education. Additionally, the results highlight the importance of educational interventions targeting multicultural beliefs, as they partially mediate the relationship between civic awareness and the ability to teach democratic citizenship education.

The purpose of this study was qualitatively conducted for getting the answer of this problem by searching the beliefs of mathematics teachers with experience in technology and the factors that influences these beliefs. The participants in this study consist of eight teachers and one university professor having technological experiences from three years to ten years with a higher degree than M.A. The data was collected through focused group interviews for twice and individual interview as well. Data analysis was completed through several readings of transcripts and then main themes were derived by classifying, comparing, and contrasting codings. The result of this study showed that teachers with the experiences of technological tools have the concrete belief that technology helps both students and teachers understand mathematical concepts and enhance various representational activities and motivations. The result also identified the impeding factors of three beliefs of mathematics teachers. From these beliefs and factors, this study would suggest how to help teachers hold their beliefs about using technologies to improve their teachings and students' learning.

본 연구는 구성주의 학습이론의 기초를 이루는 존재론 및 인식론적 관점에 대한 예비교사들의 이해수준을 조사한것이다. 각 예비교사들의 학습관의 인식론적, 존재론적, 교수론적 특성들의 발달을 네 번의 심층 인터뷰를 통하여 점검하였다. 인터뷰 자료는 존재론적, 인식론적,교수론적 신념을 포함하는 세 개의 프로파일을 작성하는 데 사용되었다. 본 연구는 구성주의 프로파일 변화라는 개념이 예비교사들의 신념변화를 분석 및 기술에 있어서 유용한 분석 도구로서 사용될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 중요 연구결과로는 구성주의 프로파일의 시간에 따른 변화, 시간에 따른 프로파일 구성요소의 다양화, 과학 교수${\cdot}$학습 프로파일 변화의 특징, 및 자신들의 프로파일에 대한 예비교사들의 인식부족 등이다. 그러나 이들 예비교사들에게 있어서 존재론 및 인식론적 신념변화는 쉽게 일어나지 않았으며, 쉽게 내면화되지도 않았다. 본 연구의 시사점은 예비교사들은 그들 프로파일 상의 공존하는 다양한 범주들에 대하여 인식하고 있어야 하며, 교사교육자들은 이러한 예비교사들의 신념을 변화시킬 수 있도록 설계된 수업들을 제공하여야 한다는 것이다. 즉, 예비교사들의 교수${\cdot}$학습에 대한 신념 프로파일에서 구성주의적 교수${\cdot}$학습관의 비율은 증가시키고 다른 바람직하지 못한 성분들의 비중은 줄여나갈 수 있는 방향으로 교사 교육과정을 설계하여야 한다.

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.
