The purpose of this study is to analyze changes of competency observed in teaching of pre-service science teachers through the teaching evaluation and reflective journal writings on science class during the period of student-teaching at high school. To do this, we videotaped all the science classes of six pre-service teachers participating in this study, evaluated their class teachings, and collected moving video clips recorded in their classes, reflective journals, interviews, instructional materials, and teaching evaluation they have provided. From the "Standards for teaching evaluation of science instruction" developed by Korea Education Curriculum and Assessment, sixteen evaluation elements were selected and used for the analysis. According to our results, all preservice teachers show improvement of teaching performance in most of the class evaluation elements as the number of science classes increases. They presented the lowest improvement in the 'to design meaningful learning program,' which was one of the sixteen elements. However, there are substantial individual differences in the pre-service teachers' teaching competence on each evaluation element. Although they thought that 'understanding of scientific concepts' is the most important part of a science class in the beginning of student-teaching training, they showed changes in recognition that 'interaction and respect' and 'managing student behaviors' are also important in the end. They have recognized that writing a reflective journal, based on the video clips recorded in class and teaching evaluation, helps improve their teaching competency. In addition, improvement in teaching competency has influence upon career-orientation towards the school teacher in the future.

In this paper, we develop a system that can add additional information to video for educational purposes by utilizing various Open APIs. Teachers can use the system to reconstruct general videos for educational purposes. Especially, teachers can use various Open APIs easily without programming by simply typing keywords. In addition, the system manages the information about keywords so that it can provide learning contents that are appropriate for the students. Using the proposed system, students can easily understand the contents of the video and extend the knowledge since the information about keywords are adaptively provided.

Students' interest and motivation of a lesson can be deeply influenced by how their teacher starts his or her lesson. So the introduction part of math classes should be very carefully and thoughtfully designed. The goal of this study is to serve the foundation for developing the practical types of introduction part of math classes and to draw the implications for planning and teaching math classes. For these, 19 lesson plans titled by 'volume of cylinders' composed by elementary teachers and 2 lesson videos on the internet are analyzed. Finally, seven types of introduction parts of math class are probed and several implications are suggested.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the block type of school buildings based on present conditions, by picking up elementary school buildings of Chungbuk Province in Korea. The summary of the block types can be given below. 1) Elementary school buildings(495) in Chungbuk Province are almost built in an average block of 1.7school(290). 2) The block types of school buildings are classified with "-", "ㄱ", "ㄷ", and parallel type. There are many "-" types over and parallel types in the second place of them. 3) The "-" block types are uniformly distributed with 166 elementary schools, below 6 classroom, 7through 24classrooms, beyond 25 classrooms. The "ㄱ" block types are 8 schools, and built as the wing of "-" block type in a limited space. The parallel types are classified with 2 3 lines according to the numbers of paralleled school buildings. The 2 parallel types are firstly represented with more than 95 classrooms, and 5 schools of "ㄷ" types, built as the wing of 2 parallel types, are only represented over 25 classrooms. The 3 parallel types are only 16 schools of all. They are uniformly seen in old and new school buildings.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the using condition and requirement for outdoor space between the parallel types of elementary school buildings focused on Chungbuk province in Korea. Consequently, we investigated the actual conditions of students and teachers, using conditions of outdoor space between school buildings. The summary of outdoor space can be given below. 1) In the using condition of outdoor spaces, most of them have path & covered walks, garden, playground and soon. The distances between neighboring building fixed, the use and quality of outdoor space is differently to spatial configuration of school buildings. For example, garden functions as itself in case of D/H>3, but the other space to observe in D/H>3. 2) In the requirements of outdoor spaces, the amount of scatter number of classmates and teachers is wide. The favoring outdoor space is the woods to take a rest by oneself, the demanding outdoor space is almost a resting place like a school store in case of classmates and the natural facilities like ponds garden pagora in teachers.

Flipped learning can be used as an innovative teaching method in science education. This study analyzes video clip produced by pre-service elementary school teachers for flipped learning and explore strategies to organize effective visualization. The pre-service elementary school teachers focused on providing information on macroscopic natural phenomenon using concrete case selection strategy for earth science class. They used marker and spatial transformation elements effectively, but their efforts to link the elements to the experience of students were not sufficient. In addition, it was very rare to put the contents into simplified drawing or provide extreme cases to enhance the imagery of students. In addition, it is necessary to provide specific case of multi-modal and link the material to the experience of students closely through familiar cases or analogical model to establish an effective visual teaching material. It may also be needed to present simplified drawing for enhancing imagery and provide extreme cases to make students have an opportunity to infer a new situation.

The purpose of this study is to construct a Teachers' Learning Community (TLC) with three teachers from the same school and to develop a joint teaching plan for students through the TLC. The conclusions from this study are as follows: The TLC with the same grade helps teachers to implement STEAM classes, where teachers overcame difficulties of STEAM lessons and successfully implemented them. Teachers in this study expressed difficulties of STEAM lessons including lack of time, difficulties of STEAM lesson implementation, and difficulties of developing a good STEAM lesson. Teachers worked together to develop a common teaching plan, to overcome the burden of teaching, and to plan better lessons through discussions and cross-checking. In addition, teachers newly discovered difficulties of lesson implementation as they watch each other teaching using a joint lesson plan. Teachers will conduct a better lesson as they improve these difficulties, where a better lesson means having students reach learning goals and learn from the lesson. Teachers in TLC felt that their lesson improved and they themselves growing through a series of courses of watching and learning each other's lessons.

In this research, we investigated the support system and professional development in teaching practices of beginning science teachers through instructional consulting. Using open-ended interviews with the participating teachers and group discussions taking place on a regular basis to analyze and compare classes of six beginning teachers, we analyzed beginning teachers' professional development efforts centering around their teaching practices. The group discussion consisted of 6 beginning teachers and another 6 experienced teachers, they discussed and cross-analyzed beginning teachers' 9th lessons on middle school science unit, 'Work and Energy.' The characteristics of beginning science teachers' professional development drawn from this research are: (1) beginning teachers' teaching practices they were taught, (2) lack of reflection on their teaching practices, (3) no guidance for beginning teachers regarding ways to teach, (4) lack of communication between teachers about teaching science, and (5) lack of time for instructional preparation due to other heavy workload. Suggestions for ways to improve and support beginning teachers' professional development are discussed with experienced teachers. Required conditions for an effective induction program are also discussed.

The purpose of this article was to a) identify how preservice teachers conceive feedbacks and subsequent classroom discourses, and b) compare them with those in reform-oriented mathematics classroom video for mathematics teachers' professional development about classroom discourse. This article analyzes feedback patterns and subsequent classroom discourses in preservice teachers' imaginary classroom scripts (lesson plays) and compares them with those in the reform-oriented classroom video dealing with the same teaching situation. Most of the preservice teachers' feedbacks focused the evaluation of students' responses and transmission of meaning (univocal function), whereas the teacher's feedback in the reform-oriented classroom allowed the whole class to validate or challenge the answers, thereby facilitating students' generation of meaning (dialogic function). The comparison analysis between the univocal discourse in a preservice teacher's lesson play and the dialogical discourse in the reform-oriented classroom video shows that teacher feedback serves as an important indicator for the main function of classroom discourse and the levels of students' cognitive participation, and also as a variable that determines and changes them. This case study suggests that to improve the quality of classroom discourse, preservice and in-service teachers need experience of perceiving the variety of feedback patterns available in specific teaching contexts and exploring ways to balance the univocal and dialogical functioning in their feedback move during the teacher training courses.
