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.

It is the development of a mathematics teachers' teaching knowledge that manifests a mathematics teacher's professional knowledge growth. It is becoming a direct and effective approach of conversion of mathematical knowledge into the knowledge of mathematics teaching. Through the investigation, the study revealed that the knowledge conversion process of mathematics teachers in middle school is restricted by three aspects including eight factors. From this point, the authors have structured the path and model on influencing factors of middle school Mathematics Teaching Knowledge Conversion (MPCK), and discuss the mechanism of the transformation process.

This study presents how a professional development program (PD) of K-12 teachers affects participants' use of the earth system approach and their perceptions of using the urban environment for their science teaching and lesson unit development. This study utilized mixed methods to collect and analyze the data. Eleven urban teachers' pre-post lessons (45 lessons) were analyzed quantitatively using a lesson plan analysis tool, modified by the author, and their lesson reflections were analyzed qualitatively. The findings of this study show that the PD program influences the teachers to choose more topics and content knowledge based on the earth system approach and to assess the topics and content knowledge with more appropriate methods. Specifically, the teachers use more urban environmental factors/topics in their post lesson to teach the environmental topics of urban area. However, according to the statistical analysis of pre-and postlesson plan scores, the accuracy of the earth system knowledge that participants used in their lessons did not change significantly (p<0.05) (Table 4), which means that the PD program did not affect the improvement of the teacher's content knowledge in earth system science. Implications of this study are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment scale of the profile of kindergarten teachers. The subjects were 287 kindergarten teachers. Data were collected from June to September in 1997. Construct validity and reliability were analyzed using factor analysis and Cronbach Coefficient Alpha. Factors were extracted in the order of: characteristic traits, professional knowledge, specialized function, knowledge of liberal arts, cognizance of professionalism, and occupational consciousness. The Cronbach Coefficient Alpha of the selected 30-item assessment scale was .9068.

The purpose of this study is to discover and develop any implications which may arise in relation to science teachers' professional growth and development by investigating the difficulties experienced by elementary school teachers in science classes. 196 elementary school teachers were requested to write an anecdotal report regarding their science lessons. 30 science teachers in middle school also answered the same questionnaire. By means of inductive categorical analyzing, the difficulties were grouped into several categories. The results were as follows: (1) The difficulties elementary teachers experience in their science lessons fall into three categories; 'professional science knowledge(9.8%)', 'science laboratory activities(78.3%)', 'teaching methodology(11.2%)'. (2) Science teachers in middle school experienced similar difficulties. However, distribution differed from that of elementary school teachers; 'professional science knowledge(39.0%)', 'science laboratory activities(35.6%)', 'teaching methodology(27.1%)'. (3) The causes of these difficulties were identified as follows; a lack of time to prepare for science classes, insufficient substantial pre-service teacher education, and a lack of adaptive support to elementary school teachers.

A research group consisting of some mathematics education scholars and school teachers has been formed to build a website which intended to combine both theories and practices of mathematical teaching since 2002. There were three working stages: video-tapping realistic math teaching, developing video discs of different themes, and designing e-Learning. The group members learned knowledge of teaching by actual participating. On the other hand, the products enabled the audience to get professional development in knowledge of both mathematics and teaching. Management process of this group and effects upon the participants and users will be presented and discussed in this paper.

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is one of the most successful professional development programs for elementary mathematics teachers in US. This article introduces its theoretical background, research-based framework of addition and subtraction work, and how the program has been disseminated. Carpenter and Fennema started CGI aiming to develop a professional development program that focused on research knowledge of children"s thinking. Their goal was. to bring a significant change in teaching by helping teachers understand how children think mathematically. This 3-year NSF funded project grew to be 11-year long, and a number of publications have reported consistent successful learning and teaching by CGI students and teachers compared to counterparts throughout US. CGI′s success by focusing on improving teachers′ knowledge of children′s thinking offers possible opportunities for teacher educators to re-conceptualize teacher education in Korea.

본 연구는 보육활동을 수행하는 보육교사들이 자신이 교실 내에서 영유아와 수행한 상호작용에 관한 영상을 동료 교사들과 함께 살펴보는 비디오 활용 학습공동체에 참여함으로써 Sherin(2007)이 제시한 교사의 전문적 시각의 두 가지 구성요소와 관련한 보육교사들의 경험을 탐구하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울 지역에 위치한 직장어린이집의 보육교사 3명을 연구참여자로 선정하여 질적 연구를 진행하였다. 교사들은 4회기의 비디오 활용 학습공동체 참여를 통해 자신의 상호작용 장면을 살펴보고 동료들과 함께 분석하고 협력적으로 토론해봄으로써 교사는 영유아의 의도 및 교사의 의도에 주목할 수 있었다. 또한, 비디오 활용 학습공동체 참여를 통하여 교사는 영유아의 사고, 관심을 기반으로 하는 추론, 교사의 사고, 의도를 기반으로 하는 추론을 경험하였다. 이러한 전문적 시각의 변화는 참여 교사 간의 협력적인 성찰을 통하여 가능할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 보육교사의 전문적 시각 발달의 중요성 및 전문적 시각 발달 지원을 위한 비디오 활용 학습공동체 참여의 효과성을 논하였다.

이 연구는 2007년을 시발점으로 내용교수지식(PCK) 및 수업컨설팅 지원에 관하여 3개년에 걸친 중장기 연구로서, KICE-TLC 고유의 PCK 연구 방법과 PCK에 대한 관점을 정립하고자 하였다. 이와 관련하여 수학 교과의 경우, 일차년도인 2007년도 연구에서는 개정 교육과정에 따른 수학과 PCK의 의미를 탐색하여 수학과 PCK 분석틀을 설정하고 이를 기반으로 다양한 유형의 PCK를 마련하였다. 이차년도인 2008년 연구에서는 중학교 수학 교과의 초임 및 경력교사 각각 3명씩을 대상으로 이들의 수업 사례를 통해 문제점을 도출하고 이에 대한 진단 및 대안을 모색하고자 하였으며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 초임교사를 위한 수업컨설팅(안)을 '학습자 이해'에 관한 지식 측면에 초점을 두어 제시하였다.
