While great efforts are being exerted on the reform of teacher training to provide integrated use of ICT in a teaching-learning process with educational informatization, it is still indicated that a teachers' training school fails to prepare leachers for incorporating information Communication and Technology (ICT) properly into an instructional process. Based on this awareness, this study aims at examining and analyzing the ability level of In utilization training for preservice teachers and thus at providing basic data to perform ICT utilization teaching-learning according to the seventh curriculum in a school. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with preservice teachers (seniors) in a college of education, Kongju National University and the collected data were analyzed using a Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) 12.0 program.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of lesson planning of pre-service secondary science teachers and the factors which influenced in their lesson planning. Thirteen pre-service secondary science teachers at a college of education in Seoul participated in this study. Teaching-learning materials such as lesson plans and handouts, and lesson planning journals written by the pre-service teachers were collected. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted to obtain information about their lesson planning activities. The analyses of the results revealed that most of the pre-service teachers did not systematically consider the national science curriculum and focused on planning one lesson only. Instructional objectives were not only considered as minor element in lesson planning, but also limited to cognitive domain. Devising teaching-learning strategies was found to be the starting point of the lesson planning. They accommodated constructivistic teaching-learning theory presented in their method courses through reflective evaluation of the experiences of learning in their secondary schools. The experiment activities that were presented in the textbooks were used themselves when they planned experiments as student activities, but other activities were planned depending on their personal experiences. Most pre-service teachers did not plan assessment because they could not recognize it as an element of lesson planning. These results may offer some implications in educating pre-service secondary science teachers on lesson planning.

Mathematics textbooks based on storytelling in elementary schools started to apply a new method of teaching math to the first and second grade students from this year. By surveying the actual responses of both in-service and pre-service teachers, this study aimed to find out critical opinions to assist future math teachers. The survey was conducted among 124 in-service teachers and 112 pre-service teachers, asking what they needed for the understanding of the storytelling theory and for the preparation of actual lessons. After analyzing data, we concluded that in-service teachers have more positive opinion about the efficiency of teaching and learning mathematics based on storytelling, but more negative opinion about the appropriateness of storytelling as a means for teaching and learning mathematics than the pre-service teachers in elementary school. The in-service elementary teachers also want to have well-organized teaching resources for storytelling and development. Through a lot of training, more and more creative ways of applying the storytelling method can be learned and concrete presentations of real lessons need to be shared. Approximately 87% of pre-service teachers believe the storytelling method is a necessity in teaching math.

This study aimed to investigate technological pedagogical and content knowledge(TPACK) model, and to apply this model to preservice education. To perform this study, TPACK survey instrument was distributed to 142 preservice teachers who took technology integration course. The result showed that technology and content knowledge improved significantly, and pedagogical and pedagogical content knowledge did not show meaningful differences among 7 sub-categories. Based on the result of this study, we discussed the improvement of technological and content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge. Also, we suggested that (preservice) teacher education should consider the combination of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge in Korea.

The goal of this study is to assess the effects of Scratch programming classes on preservice teachers by using computational thinking and cognitive evaluations based on Bloom's taxonomy. To pursue this research goal we measured preservice teachers' programming skills using cognitive evaluation items based on Bloom's taxonomy after preservice teachers took one-semester Scratch programming course. In addition, a survey focused on computational thinking (CT) concepts, CT practices, and CT perspectives was conducted. We also conducted artifact-based interviews to unpack preservice teachers' experiences of working on team projects and analyzed their experiences qualitatively. The results of this study are meaningful because we assessed preservice teachers' experiences comprehensively with both quantitative and qualitative methods. In addition, this study provides us with implications for evaluation perspectives in designing programming courses for preservice teachers by adopting Bloom's taxonomy scheme.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an unplugged instructional model for pre-service teachers' SW competences in higher education. The unplugged instructional model was developed through the following procedures; 1) developing the 1st model based on the results of literature review, 2) getting test for use by one practicing instructor, 3) collecting the opinions of learners who participated in the unplugged instruction, and 4) getting model validation by 4 experts. The developed unplugged instructional model consists of 6 phases: 'stimulating of learners' motivation', 'introducing learning activities', 'constructing an activities', experiencing unplugged activities', 'extending and generating outcome of unplugged learning', and 'reflecting' in addition, each phase includes learning activities. The validation results confirm that the unplugged instructional model was both reliable.

The educational method of physical computing, where students can experience software programming principles and practices while making concrete objects beyond outputs residing just inside of computer monitors, are drawing attentions. This current research sought an instructional method for pre-service teachers that they can experience 3D printing and modeling and at the same time they can understand programming principles in the 3D modeling processes. To achieve this aim, the TinkerCAD $Codeblocks^{(R)}$ was analyzed based on the computational thinking framework and a course utilizing the $Codeblocks^{(R)}$ to 3D modeling was devised. The designed class was applied to pre-service teachers and the students' perceptions of the class were collected by using a semi-structured survey. This study provides implications to software education for pre-service teachers as an instructional case that 3D printing is used to connecting computational thinking skills.
