The purpose of this study is to examine science education researchers' views on what and how much science educational theories would be needed for pre-service science teachers, and to investigate the relationship between their views and the Examination for Appointing Secondary School Science Teachers(EASST). For this study, the views of science education professors on science education theories have been analyzed in terms of their priorities for contributing to the improvement of science teacher competency and literacy. Their views have been compared with proportions of questions related to science education theories of the EASST in terms of what kinds of science education theories have been used for solving each item. As results of this study show, they have perceived that more essential things are needed for the improvement of science teacher competency and literacy including science inquiry process, methods of experimental equipments and tools, laboratory safety, misconception of students, discussion, writing, evaluation of scientific knowledges, and evaluation of scientific inquiry ability other than science philosophy, changes of science curricula, science curricula of foreign countries, Bruner's instructional theory, Karplus's Learning Cycle model, generative learning model, discovery learning model, and Klopfer's taxonomy of educational objectives. There is a higher proportion of questions related to science curriculum and Ausubel's learning theory in the EASST. They are hardly correlated with science education professors' selections of science educational theories for EASST questions. This study advocates the needs of exploring a new method of narrowing down the gap between science educators' opinions and questions of ESSAT in terms of science educaiton theories.

Modern society demands a new science teacher image. Compared to other school ages, elementary school students are the time when the teacher's influence plays a large role and is the time when they first encounter science subjects. The role of science teachers is very important as the starting point for the initial image of science learning and attitudes toward science by elementary science teachers. Therefore, it is very important to correctly establish an image of an elementary science teacher. The purpose of this study is to analyze the images of science teachers that elementary school students prefer and avoid according to their class situation. To this end, 534 elementary school students were divided into five classes: class type, class material presentation method, subject instruction method, subject content explanation method, and class atmosphere, and the image of science teacher who prefers and avoids is described in an open format. Concepts presented by elementary school students were analyzed using Semantic network analysis. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the image of a science teacher preferred or avoided by elementary school students was determined according to how the science teacher did the class. Second, elementary school students prefer activity-oriented classes such as experimental classes, and there is a need for classes to be conducted in this manner. Lastly, small changes and efforts of teachers in teaching methods are needed so that changes to science classes preferred by elementary school students can be achieved.

The year of 2007 Reformed Curriculum encourages various activity materials in the textbook facilitate students oriented self-help learning. The purpose of this paper is to find out how much the activity materials in housing area of middle school Technology and Home Economics are practiced in the class and why they are used or not used. The data were collected from 253 middle school teachers who had ever taught the housing unit in any of 6 textbooks. The analyses indicated that the most frequent teaching methode was lecture based on the textbook and internet data focused on the figures and contents of the individual textbook. The average rate of practicing the activity materials was differ by textbooks and the characteristics of the materials such as type of materials, feature of non sentence materials, and type of activity. The main two reasons to practice the activity materials were it's adequacy to class goals and application to everyday life. Low interests of students and shortage of time were the two main reasons why not used the materials. Textbook writers should consider these reasons as well as the characteristics of activity materials practiced in the class by the teachers in order to meet the goals of the reformed as well as current curricula.

어떤 현상에 대한 학생들의 수업전 개념구조가 과학자들의 그것과 다를때 이 수업전개념을 간단한 정성적인 퀴즈를 통하여 학생 스스로 인식하게 하고 실험 또는 관찰을 통하여 학생 자신의 수업전개념 보다는 과학자들의 개념이 실험결과를 더 잘 설명할 수 있다는 것을 깨닫게 함으로써 학생들의 수업전 개념구조를 변화시키려는 교수모델을 고안하여 그 효과를 검토하였다. 고등학교 1학년 남학생 115 명(실험집단 58명, 비교집단 57명)과 고등학교 2학년 여학생 120명(실험집단 59명, 비교집단 61명)을 대상으로 뉴우턴 제2법칙에 대한 학습에 적용하고 2주후에 뉴우턴 제2법칙에 관한 시험(13문항)을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 퀴즈에 사용한 것과 유사한 상황을 다룬 문제에서는 실험집단의 성적이 비교집단의 성적보다 유의하게 높았다. 그러나, 같은 개념을 다루나 새로운 상황의 문제에서는 그 효과가 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 한가지 개념이 여러가지 새로운 상황속에 나타날때 학생들에게 이미 친숙한 상황과 새로운 상황사이의 유사점을 강조하며 위의 교수법을 계속하여 사용한다면 학생들의 뿌리깊이 밝힌 수업전 개념구조를 변화시킬 수 있으리라 사료된다. 위의 교수법은 학생들이 자신의 수업전 개념구조를 명확히 인식하고 그 불합리함을 깨달아야 하므로 자신의 수업전 개념구조에 근거하여 어떤 결과를 예측할 수 있는 예측논리(Expectation or biconditional Reasoning)가 형성된 이후의 학생들에게만 효과가 있으리라 가정하였으나 교수방법과 예측논리 사이에 유의한 상호작용효과(interaction offect)는 나타나지 않았다. 다만 여학생의 경우에서만 학생들에게 새로운 상황의 문제에서도 예측논리를 이미 형성한 실험집단의 평균이 이에 상응하는 비교집단의 평균보다 높았다. 이것은 남학생과 여학생을 지도한 교사의 교수경력과 학생들의 수업전 개념구조에 대한 교사의 인식정도에 큰 차이가 있었음을 고려할 때, 위의 수업방법을 사용하는 데 있어 교사가 학생들의 수업전 개념구조가 학생들의 개념획득에 얼마나 커다란 영향을 끼치는가에 대해 인식하는 것이 중요한 요인임을 시사한다.

The objective of this paper is an implementation of analysing and predicting functions to promote self-directed learning for student's performance assessment system in programming subjects. By adapting Rubric model, the proposed functions inform a student of the assessment criteria and level to be carried out with respects to two-way specifications such as rational ability, problem solving ability and creativity. The proposed system also provides a graphical results of each ability instead of assessment result, for better understanding and analyzing himself/herself based on to the performance assessment and the result. Moreover, the proposed system contains a method to predict future achievement result with moving average technique. Therefore, an academic achievement can be precisely determined by himself/herself to estimate self-directed learning. The teacher can provide different level of educational resources such as supplement learning, problem explains and private instructor etc., in order to maximize efficiency of education.

Problem-based learning (PBL) is applied to various subjects for the sake of learners' creative thinking, problem-solving skills, presentation skills, confidence, self-directed learning, cooperation, and for the communication skills required in a rapidly changing society. Among them, the English language-an official language-is invested in 2.3 times more than other subjects, according to the English education company Yoon's Teacher. Therefore, PBL is an important learning method. However, the reality is that teacher-centered instruction, acquiring knowledge of the best answers only, and traditional evaluations are the main subjects. In order to supplement these weak points, this study designed a learning model for English subjects based on Barrows & Myers (2002) and the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model. As a result of a PBL English class based on the ADDIE model, the learners were able to improve their presentation skills by 86%, their interest in learning by 86%, their understanding of learning by 86%, and cooperation by 100%. As such, studies on designing the learning model should be carried out continuously to achieve the purpose of 21st century English education, which is to improve learners' communication skills and information processing skills.

Purpose of study: This study aims to analyze the educational use of metaverses among pre-service nursing teachers at a university and explore the implications of designing and operating effective metaverse lessons. Research content and method: This study collected and analyzed data on the experiences and perceptions of 32 pre-nursing teachers enrolled in J University, a very small Christian-based university in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, Korea, who participated in a class using metaverses. And based on this, we analyzed the advantages, difficulties, and improvements of the class, differences from classes using Zoom, impressions of the class, and suggestions for effective classes. Conclusions and Suggestions: As a result of analyzing various aspects of perceptions and experiences of classes utilizing the metaverse, it was found that in order to conduct effective classes utilizing the metaverse, it is necessary to check the infrastructure for communication and devices before class, select a metaverse platform according to the goals and contents of the course, and build a space for educational activities. In addition, it was found that it is necessary to provide guidance on how to use the metaverse and conduct sufficient training before running classes with learner-centered teaching methods. In the future, it is expected that systematic research on the principles and teaching-learning models of classroom design using the metaverse will continue to be conducted.

An image is a comprehensive result that you have experienced about an object and means the image that you have on the surface of your consciousness. The image of the subject has an important influence on learning the subject. The image analysis of the subjects that the learners have will be good data to decide the direction of teaching and learning. The purpose of this study is to develop and apply measurement tools for physics image and discuss its educational implications. The research method is to develop the measurement tools for the physics image by semantic analysis method and apply it to the secondary pre-service physics teacher. The subjects of the study were 39 first graders, 31 second graders, 37 third graders, and 38 fourth graders at the University of Education, a total of 145 students, 82 of whom were male and 63 were female. The study results show that the image measurement tools for physics consisted of 25 items from five elements: 'interest,' 'feeling,' 'scope,' 'evaluation,' and 'viewpoint.' There were statistically significant differences between the male and female students in applying the measurement tools developed for the physics image of secondary pre-service physics teachers. Male students showed significantly higher statistical significance than female students in the 'interest' and 'feeling' elements of measurement tools for the physics image. In the 'scope' element of measurement tools for the physics image the second grade was statistically higher than the fourth grade. Finally, we discussed educational implications for image analysis of physics and the usefulness of using measurement tools in physics image.
