The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze how teachers' recognition of professionalism and the child's gender and term care affect child's social interaction behavior. Participants were three-year-old 61 children and their 20 teachers. Each child was observed by the time sampling method of 20 sec-observation followed by 10 sec-recording for a total of 14 minutes. The teachers completed the rating scales to measure the teachers' recognition of professionalism. The study results show that, children engaged more frequently in individual behavior than in interactions with peers or with teachers in day care centers. And those children had more interaction behavior with their teachers than with their peers. Correlation between teachers' recognition of professionalism and children's social interaction behavior were as following: the more the teachers recognized professionalism, the more the children showed positive interaction behavior toward their teachers. Also, the more the teachers recognized the professionalism related to the job satisfaction, the more the children showed positive interaction behavior toward their peers. Boys interacted more negatively with peers and teachers than girls did. Children who attended the day care center more than two years showed less individual behaviors than others.

Objective: The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of early childhood teachers' current working conditions such as welfare and wages, working hours, ECEC center's environmental characteristics, and parental involvement and community engagement on the professionalism of teachers. Method: A total of 988 respondents participated in the nationwide online survey. The data were analyzed by correlation analysis and structual equation modeling. Results: First, there were no statistically significant direct effects of ECEC teachers' working conditions on teacher professionalism. Second, there were significant direct effects of teacher efficacy and well-being on teacher professionalism. Third, there were significant indirect effects of teachers' working conditions on their professionalism, via efficacy and well-being, linking the impact of working conditions and the professionalism of teachers. Conclusion/Implication: The results of this structural model imply that policy input for teacher welfare, wage increases, and the enhancement of teachers' well-being and efficacy are valid and significant for the professional development of ECEC teachers. These results provide the data-driven evidence for the importance of welfare and socio-cognitive approaches for teachers.

In this study, we investigated how elementary science teaching has changed with the introduction of the National Assessment of Educational Achievement (NAEA). Teachers are held accountable for student performance as measured by the mandatory nation-wide standards tests to satisfy the needs of accountability and quality assurance systems. In relation to the teaching of science in the elementary school, professionalism meets potential threats with the advent of national test. Through analysis of the classroom teaching and open-ended interviews, we explored the teacher's concerns about the national test and how their science classes have changed to prepare for this test. According to the results, the national test made elementary teachers accountable for the content of their science classes, limits teachers' autonomy in reconstruction of curriculum, and forced teachers to conduct conclusion-centered lessons even in elementary science classes. In addition, teachers argue that the national test precludes the possibility of differentiated education and differentiated assessment. Based on the results, we suggested a new professionalism in this accountability era, so called 'informed professionalism', which refers to the ability of teachers to interpret and implement curriculum and policy mandates at the local, school and classroom level to generate equitable and improved student outcomes through teaching and learning. We also suggested further research on the teacher professionalism in teaching science contents.

이 연구의 목적은 초등과학영재를 담당하는 영재교사의 개인변인에 따른 영재교육 전문성의 차이를 비교 분석하는 것이다. 교사의 개인변인은 성별, 근무지역, 교육경력, 영재교사경력, 최종학력, 영재교육 직무연수의 정도로 설정하였다. 연구대상은 인천과 경기지역에서 초등과학영재를 지도하는 영재교사 98명이며, 영재교육 전문성을 측정하기 위한 검사 도구는 최남구(2011)가 개발한 것을 토대로 사용하였다. 영재교육 전문성의 하위 영역은 '철학적 이해와 사명감', '전문적 자질', '인성적 자질'이며, 전문적 자질은 다시 3개의 영역으로 나누어져 있다. 개인변인에 따른 영재교육 전문성에 대한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 성별에서는 전문적 자질에서 남교사의 평균이 여교사의 평균보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 근무지역에 따른 영재교사의 영재교육 전문성에서는 지역간에 차이가 있었지만, 하위 영역에 따라 서로 다른 결과를 보였으며, 교육경력에 따른 영재교사의 영재교육 전문성은 차이를 보이지 않았다. 영재교육경력에서는 경력이 3년 이상은 되어야 전문성이 유의하게 높아졌으며, 최종학력이 높을수록 전문적 자질과 인성적 자질에서 유의하게 전문성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 영재교육과 관련된 연수를 이수한 정도에 따른 영재교사의 영재교육 전문성은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 연수를 경험한 횟수가 많을수록 평균은 높았다. 전체적으로 영재교육 전문성의 하위 영역인 '철학적 이해와 사명감'과 '인성적 자질'은 본 연구에서 분석한 교사의 개인변인에 큰 영향을 받지 않았다.
