Most popular curricular philosophies are human beings, health, nursing, nursology, nursing education, nurses role in the present and in the future. 10 nursing schools mentioned that human being is the subject to interact with : environment physically, mentally and socially. 2 schools mentioned that health is the state of functioning well physically, mentally and socially. 13 schools mentioned that the nursing is the dynamic act to maintain and to promote the highest possible level of health. 4 schools mentioned that the nursology is an applied science. 4 schools mentioned that nursing education is the process to induce the behavioural changes based on the individual ability. There is different opinion about the nurses' role between 4-year college and 3-year college. In the responses from 4-year colleges they focus on the leadership in effective changes, self-regulating and self-determining responsibilities, applying the new technology, continuing education, and participation in research to further nursing knowledge. In the responses from 3-year colleges, they focus on the education in college, primary health care nursing, direct care provider and public health education. Among 50 respondents 40 schools have educational goals which can be divided into two categories. One is to establish the moral and the other is to develop the professionalism. 2) Curriculm The analsis of curriculum is only based on the data from the 4-year colleges because the most of 3-year colleges follow the curriculum guideline set by the Ministry of Education. a) Comparison of the credits in cultural subject and in nursing major.

The primary purpose of this study is to suggest the policy for the effective utilization of empty classrooms in elementary school. The empty classroom in this study means the classroom that is not used now since the number of students decreases, but can be usable for other needs in future. The following results are obtained through this survey; 1) about forty percent of classrooms are empty classrooms, 2) the ratio of empty classrooms is higher in urban area than rural area, 3) the smaller the size of classroom is, the higher the ratio is, and 4) 56.5% of the schools have one to three empty classrooms and 30.0% have four to six empty classrooms. In conclusion it is suggested that 1) the reutilization plan of empty classrooms be established according to particular situation of each school, 2) the government develop the guidelines for reutilization and administrative procedures for renewal, 3) the reutilization plan be established from the view point of the quality improvement of schooling, and 4) the enlargement and rearranagemt of learning space be considerd when reutilization is planned.

Curriculum reform has been a significant emphasis for most of countries all over the world for the past few years. It was the first time for Taiwan to develop a new Science and Life Technology curriculum Standards (SaLTS) for grades 1 through 9 compulsory educations. The SaLTS features integrated science content with the aim at motivating students to learn science and encouraging students to apply science to their everyday life, which is practically well aligned with the philosophical essence and foundations of Earth Systems Education (ESE). This paper calls attention to the importance of the inclusion of ESE into the forthcoming science curricula of Taiwan and worldwide and provides some exemplary ESE-inspired curriculum and instructional modules that have been successfully implemented in the secondary schools of Taiwan. Hopefully, this paper can shed some lights on the future development of the ESE-based science curricula, instructional modules, and teacher preparation programs.

This study highlights some very important future directions for the revision of language forms in the 2007 Korean English Curriculum, expected to be made public in the summer of 2011. A critical review of the 2007 National English Curriculum shows that language forms exemplified in that curriculum are not well-chosen or well-sequenced from the viewpoint of grammar selection and gradation, and that no mention of structural labels or grammatical terminologies makes it hard for teachers to recognize their formal properties. To fulfill the original purpose that languages should be listed in the curriculum so that functional-notional syllabuses can be complemented by form-focused instruction, the study presents partial inventories of grammatical items with well-chosen and well-sequenced examples. Minimal descriptions are given to these inventories that are based on general notions or well-known grammatical notions. Occasional suggestions are also made for which language forms should be taught in which schools.

The quantitative expansion of nursing schools has necessitated the qualitative improvement of nursing education, which requires the development of nursing education for clinical practice. To identify strategies for strengthening the educational capacity of clinical fields and nursing schools, this study first examined the current status of nursing education for clinical practice, and then proposed several prospective directions for education. Nursing clinical practice-related studies from several Korean and international electronic databases were reviewed. Insufficient training hospitals and lack of qualified clinical training instructors were the main problems found within nursing educational resources for clinical practice, while the simple practice contents based on observation and inadequate evaluations were the main problems found in nursing educational management for clinical practice. This study suggests better standards and educational accountability for training hospitals and programs to nurture human resources for clinical practice, as well as a variety of training methods to integrate practical training courses and the expansion of formation evaluation. Based on these results, it is necessary to establish governance for nursing education for clinical practice and clarify the role and standards of each practitioner, strengthen the educational role of the hospital, and improve the system. In addition, introducing various types of education methods and strengthening evaluation standards are needed in order to enhance nursing education for clinical practice.

This study is to understand preservice science teachers' previous experience, beliefs about teaching and learning, and visions of themselves as future teachers. The data were collected from two individual interviews with 7 voluntary students and analyzed qualitatively for category construction. As the results of this study, we presented two cases, which showed that their different views of teaching science are strongly related to their previous experiences as learners and observers in schools, and that there is the apparent consistency between each participant's beliefs about science teaching and learning and their own visions of teaching in a science classroom. Implications for preservice science teacher education related to the results were discussed.
