The present paper aims to examine how prospective teachers' experience of creating UCC materials affects their teaching expertise and creativity. The group of subjects consists of a group of 19 students majoring in Japanese under the teacher certificate curriculum at N University located in Cheonan. The collected data was analyzed using a set of statistical methods including frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test using SPSS WIN 21.0. It was found that there was a positive correlation between their UCC experiences and their teaching subject expertise/creativity. It was also found that the former exerted a statistically significant effect on the latter. The results of the current research might suggest that teachers' teaching methods in the field are very important. It is hopeful that innovative teaching methods and activities will be introduced and expanded in the filed to produce more effective education.The Korea Convergence Society.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stresses of teachers for elementary science class. To do these, the Science Teacher Stress Inventory has been developed the Science Teacher Stress Inventory, which consisted of 45 stress factors with subcategories such as student characteristics, teacher characteristics, expertise of science education, school environment, and administrative procedures. 120 teachers for elementary science class have participated in this questionnaire survey. The results of this study are as follow: First, stress from teacher characteristics is perceived as having more stress factors than five stress factors (student characteristics, teacher characteristics, expertise of science education, school environment, and administrative procedures). but all of the five stress factors was under normal. The detail question of stress such as 'Having to guide educational guidance and course in life education', 'Having to cope with the demand of new curricula', 'Pace of the school day is too fast', 'No time to attend training of the experiment (preliminary experiment)', 'Not enough time to complete lesson preparation and marking', 'Having to cope with non-teaching delegated duties', 'Fear of getting injured as a result of lab accidents' are perceived as having a lot of stresses. Second, there were not statistically significant differences in their personal variables such as gender, the course of high school. but there were statistically significant differences in their personal variables such as whether elementary subject exclusive science teacher, career in education experience, teaching grade. Third, coping ways of stresses are active support for better science teaching conditions, training of the experiment for expertise of science education, developing a workbook for science class.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of reeducation of nursing process on nurses' expertise, critical thinking disposition, and clinical decision making. Methods: Data were collected from March to June, 2007. The subjects were 47 Academic Credit Bank System Student Nurses. They were taught 'nursing process' during 1 semester(15weeks). 47 nurses were divided into three groups according to clinical experience(under 3 years, 3 to under 5 years, 5 years or more). After 15 weeks, the effects of education were compared using a paired t-test between pre-test and post-test. Results: There was a significant difference in the 3 to under 5 years experienced nurses's expertise(t=-3.659, p=.004) between the pre-test and post-test. There was a significant difference in the 5 years or more experienced nurses's expertise(t=-5.781, p<.001) and critical thinking disposition(t=-3.345, p=.003) between the pre-test and post-test. There were no significant differences in clinical decision making(accuracy, proficiency, and confidence) of 3 groups. Conclusion: Reeducation of nursing process is a valuable teaching and an evaluation strategy for 5 years or more experienced nurses to improve expertise and critical thinking disposition. We need to develop continuing education program for improving nurses' clinical decision making.

Teaching and learning were carried out long before the word "education" was coined. As teaching and learning became more universal, the word "education" was construed as a social promise, and there was a general consensus as to what it denoted. Many university professors will most likely have great confidence and expertise with respect to "teaching" in their area of specialization, and they believe that they are fulfilling a social promise. However, how much expertise do they have in actually making students "learn"? How concerned are professors about enabling students to utilize their potential and talents to cultivate their learning abilities and to adjust to the different demands of various fields? The same issue arises in medical education. To what extent can professors' teaching heighten students' sense of purpose and motivation to learn? With regard to increasing learners' initiatives, the learning model of constructivism presupposes that learners are active and creative, have their own personalities, and possess unlimited learning potential. The PBL being carried out in medical schools today is a form of study that can take advantage of these aspects of learners. They can maximally widen the range of students' development through many intellectual activities and solve difficult problems by either sharing or critiquing the thoughts and ideas of others. The acts of teaching and learning that have been carried out for thousands of years remain difficult to this day and must be ceaselessly deliberated and researched by experts in the field of education. Just as good teachers are required to produce good learners, we must give ourselves room to rethink the basis of education in order to maximize effective and efficient learning.

This study pursued to obtain 3 consecutive purposes. First, a conceptual model for comparing 3 constructivist teaching and learning strategies( problem-based learning[$P_bBL$], case-based learning[CBL] and project-based learning[$P_jBL$]) was developed. Relationships of these constructivist strategies with the development of expertise for learners were discussed. Second, specific differences between $P_bBL$, CBL and $P_jBL$ as applied in architectural design courses were analyzed under each of the teaching and learning category. Some analytical indexes were developed by content analysis, which are applicable effectively to reveal the differences. Based on the previous findings, third, a set of strategic guidelines for use in class were made and suggested in order to develop and improve expertise in architectural design. These guidelines were largely targeted for university design courses as well as education or reeducation of practicing architects. Expecially, combined application of $P_bBL$, CBL and $P_jBL$ was hypothesized and suggested as class management guidelines. In sum, a variety of $P_bBL$ problems, CBL cases and $P_jBL$ projects should be developed for expecting audience based on design subjects and tasks. As working domains of practicing architects, exploring/analyzing, understanding/making applications, and criticizing/self-reflecting should be considered in the development process.

This study aims to explore central and peripheral beliefs of mathematics teachers in the context of teaching and learning. For this purpose, this study analyzed teacher noticing of 8 mathematics teachers who are in-service in terms of mathematical beliefs using video-clips of math lessons. When the teachers in the video-clips seemed to have a teaching and learning problem, teachers who adopt noticing critized the classroom situation by reflecting his or her own mathematical beliefs and suggested alternatives. In addition, through noticing analysis, teachers' mathematical beliefs reflected in specific topics such as student participation in teaching and learning were compared to reveal their individual central and peripheral beliefs. Through these research results, this study proposed a model that extracts the central and peripheral beliefs of math teachers from the constraints of the teaching and learning context using noticing analysis. Additionally, it was possible to observe the teacher decision-making and expertise of mathematics teachers.

The purpose of this study is to explore the life history of a highly experienced elementary school teacher, Mr. Park and to understand how his science teaching practices have changed throughout his educational career. Using life history interviews with Mr. Park and his life history materials as data sources, a life story of the participant teacher was constructed. The ways teaching changed in the inter-relationship between external and personal factors were then analyzed according to three temporal periods of teaching changes. It was revealed that in the first period of teaching change, Mr. Park changed his science teaching practices by actively accepting influences from external factors, which in turn enabled him to start developing his expertise in student-centered science instruction. By contrast, in the second period of teaching change, Mr. Park strengthened his own ways of teaching while responding critically to the trends of educational change by external factors. In the third and final period of teaching change, Mr. Park made changes in teaching practices by taking advantage of his personal factors to convert influences of external factors into positive ones. Based on these findings, it was suggested that educational policies for teaching changes should be provided in consideration of teachers' life cycles and their expertise and that teachers should make efforts to reflect on the factors for educational change and transform them into positive ones.

The goal of this study was to examine the PCK required for science teachers and PCK required for university teacher educators in terms of school science knowledge, science teaching and learning, and the role of science educators, which are the main axes of science education in future schools, and to explore the relationship between them. This study is a follow-up to a previous stage of research that explored the prospects for changes in schools in the future (2040-2050) in terms of school knowledge, educational methods, and teacher roles. Based on in-depth interviews, qualitative and semantic network analyses were conducted to derive and compare the characteristics of PCK and PCK. As for the main research results, science teacher PCK in future schools should include expertise in organizing science classes centered on convergence topics, expertise in digital platforms and ICT use, and expertise in building a network of learning communities and resources, as part of the expertise of human teachers differentiated from AI. Teacher educators' PCK includes expertise in the research and development of T-L methods using AI, expertise in the knowledge construction process and practice, and expertise in developing preservice teachers' research competencies. Discussed in the conclusion is the change in teacher PCK and teacher educator PCK with changes in science knowledge, such as convergence-type knowledge and cognition-value integrated knowledge; and the need to emphasize values, attitudes, and ethical judgments for the coexistence of humans and non-humans as school science knowledge in the post-humanism future society.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the structural relationship between pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), grit, and teaching efficacy perceived by elementary school science teachers. Based on the results of the literature review, PCK was divided into knowledge domain and enactment domain, and these two domains were set as exogenous latent variables to investigate the structural relationship between PCK and teaching efficacy. In addition, teachers' grit was added to the structural equation model as an exogenous latent variable to investigate the effect of teachers' knowledge, enactment, and grit on teaching efficacy. Upon confirming the structural relationship between PCK and teaching efficacy, it was found that a high correlation between knowledge and enactment, and that knowledge had a greater effect on teaching efficacy than enactment. Furthermore, upon confirming the structural relationship between PCK, grit, and teaching efficacy, both knowledge and grit were found to have a statistically significant effect on teaching efficacy, while the relationship between enactment and teaching efficacy was not statistically significant. Based on the results of these studies, we discussed ways to strengthen teacher expertise and teaching efficacy in elementary school science classes and the meaning of grit in the field of teacher expertise.
