This paper analyzed the relationship between middle school students' belief about understanding with regard to mathematical concepts, procedures, and applications of the procedures. In order to gain our purpose, the academic achievement results of midterm examination of 139 middle school students and the surveys about their beliefs about understanding, mathematical concepts, and mathematical procedures were collected. And the cross analysis and the frequency analysis of SPSS were conducted. The research results showed that students' belief about understanding are irrelevant to their academic achievements. And the percentage of the students who believe that they understand was almost the same with the percentage of the students who understand the procedures. But there were differences between the percentage of the students who believe that they understand and the percentage of the students who understand the concepts. Through these, it is conformed. Students' belief about understanding does not mean they understand mathematical concepts. They just can solve mathematical problems through mechanical procedures.

This study explored the beliefs and practices of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) in 83 principals and 83 teachers of public and private kindergartens in Pusan and Ulsan. The research instruments was a teacher questionnaire by Kang(2000). Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA. Results showed that educational and career variables were unrelated to the DAP beliefs of principals, but there were differences in DAP beliefs by career variables of teachers. Teachers' use of DAP varied as a function of children's age and of combined levels of beliefs of principals and teachers.

이 프로젝트는 수학 수업 중 ‘추론’과 ‘증명’에 관련된 "문제해결과정"에 관심을 가지고, 처음 증명문제를 접하는 독일 7학년 학생들을 대상으로 문제해결능력에 필요한 요인들, 즉, 문제 해결을 위한 수학적 기본지식, 해결된 문제에 대한 인지정도, 논리적 사고 등을 관찰 분석하고 수학교사의 수학에 대한 신념(Beliefs)과 수업 방식이 학생들의 문제해결에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것에 그 목적을 둔다. 이 프로젝트의 일부의 결과로써, 본 논문에서는 학생들 개개인의 문제해결과정과 그 능력, 그리고 수학에 대한 신념을 서술하고, 수학교사와 학생들의 서로 다른 수학에 대한 신념을 비교 분석한다.

This study was to investigate the practice of the teachers who changed their teaching subject to Mathematics from other subjects. Teacher, A who had traditional belief and Teacher, B, non-traditional belief were chosen for the study through the questionnaire in Sep. 2014. The result indicated that Teacher, A in traditional belief showed teacher-centered teaching but Teacher, B in nontraditional belief showed inconsistent way of teaching in comparison to the original perspective. The later said she could not teach students as she wanted to teach because of the lack of knowledge of teaching as a math teacher. The difficulties Teacher, A encountered were: to handle too many works beyond teaching and to teach too many contents to cover without having enough time to prepare. Teacher, B didn't know how to teach students math in a constructivism way. They asked to offer them more in-service training program to develop their expertise for teaching mathematics.

본 연구는 건강신념모형의 주요 변수와 신종인플루엔자 예방행동과의 관계를 파악하여 고등학생의 신종인플루엔자 예방행동에 대한 교육적 지도방안과 신종인플루엔자 예방프로그램 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 자료는 2009년 11월 1일에서 11월 24일까지 일부 광역시에 위치한 고등학교 4개교를 무작위 추출하여 1, 2학년 학생 총 683명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 심각성은 16점 만점에 평균점수 12.15(${\pm}$2.56), 감수성은 12점 만점에 평균점수9.34(${\pm}$1.90), 이득은 12점 만점에 평균점수 8.33(${\pm}$2.00), 장애는 12점 만점에 평균점수 8.63(${\pm}$1.87), 자기 효능감은 8점 만점에 평균점수 5.67(${\pm}$1.40), 예방행동은 36점 만점에 평균점수 21.02(${\pm}$4.73)이었다. 신종인플루엔자 예방행동에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 건강신념변수는 심각성, 감수성, 이득, 자기효능감으로 나타났고, 장애는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 각 변수들과 예방행동 간의 상관되는 순서는 이득(r=.303), 자기효능감(r =.271), 심각성(r =.222), 감수성(r =.206), 장애(r =-.007)순으로 나타났다. 지식이 높을수록(p<0.05), 예방교육을 받았던 대상자 일수록(p<0.05), 예방접종을 받을수록(p<0.05) 지각된 이득에 더 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본인의 건강상태가 좋다고 생각할수록(p<0.05), 지식이 높을수록(p<0.05), 예방교육을 받았던 대상자 일수록(p<0.05), 예방접종을 받을수록(p<0.05) 자기효능감이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 건강신념변수들 간 상관관계에서 개인의 지각된 자기효능감과 지각된 이득 두 변수가 가장 높은 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 위계적 회귀분석 결과 신종인플루엔자 예방행동에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 유의한 요인으로 인지된 이득(${\beta}$ =.179), 학년(${\beta}$ =.173), 자기효능감(${\beta}$ =.154), 인지된 심각성(${\beta}$ =.140), 예방교육경험(${\beta}$ =.111), 건강상태(${\beta}$ =.097)의 순으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 건강신념모형이 신종인플루엔자 예방행동을 예측하고 교육목표와 내용을 결정하는데 있어 적합한 모형이라고 판단 할 수 있다. 건강신념모형 변수 중 이득과 자기효능감을 높일 수 있도록 프로그램과 교육목표를 설정하면 보다 효과적인 예방교육이 될 것이라 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to examine what epistemological beliefs pre-service teachers have about science depending on the situation, and to explore in-depth changes in epistemological beliefs through disciplinary reading. For this purpose, 77 essays written by pre-service elementary school teachers after reading Feynman's 'the meaning of it all' were analyzed using an inductive analysis method. As a result of the study, the epistemological beliefs of pre-service teachers were divided into two situations: 'science in subject learning' and 'science in daily life', and the epistemological beliefs formed in the 'science handled by scientists' situation were analyzed after reading the book. Each situation was divided into sub-categories of 'Impression of Knowledge', 'Source of Knowledge', 'Justification of Knowledge', 'Variability of Knowledge', 'Structure of Knowledge', and 'Value of Knowledge Acquisition' to reveal differences in sophisticated beliefs and naive belief levels. As a result, it was derived that Feynman's science lecture influenced pre-service teachers in terms of establishing new perspectives and recontextualizing existing epistemological beliefs. This study is meaningful in that pre-service teachers' scientific epistemological beliefs may vary depending on the situation, and that the scope and depth of epistemological beliefs may be expanded to include scientists' beliefs in science through disciplinary reading.

This study desires to examine the factors of educational beliefs and child-care commitment of preservice child-care teachers affecting teacher efficacy. To achieve such study purpose, a questionnaire was used targeting 239 preservice child-care teachers in I City. For response results, first, preservice child-care teachers appreciated a belief for maturity in educational beliefs, educational love in child-care commitment, and teaching strategy and students' participation in teacher efficacy the most. Second, there is a statistically meaningful correlation in educational beliefs, child-care commitment, and teacher efficacy of preservice child-care teachers. Third, educational beliefs and child-care commitment of preservice child-care teachers have a positive effect on teacher efficacy. Through such study results, it is thought that role and importance of child-care teachers are appreciated, and various studies should be proceeded to ensure internal stability for professionalism awareness of child-care teachers for improvement of fine child-care service.

This study conducted a questionnaire survey for some local senior populations in Jeonbuk province, Korea, and came to the following conclusions: This study analyzed possible differences in elders' oral health beliefs and oral health behaviors depending on their general characteristics. As a result, it was found that there were significant differences in their oral health beliefs depending upon their religion, academic career and oral health conditions. It was found that high oral health beliefs group showed more significant differences in 'toothbrushing' and 'diet control' than low oral health beliefs group(p < .05). It was found that active oral health behavior group had higher quality of life than inactive oral health behavior group(p < .05), and 'regular visit of dental clinic' was a critical determinant of life quality(p < .05).
