  • This paper proposes a modified category framework derived from VAMP and VIMT projects for describing teachers' mathematical and pedagogical values, and examines the dialectical relations between values awareness/willingness and teaching, based on case studies of student teachers of secondary mathematics from a follow-up project of VIMT. The preliminary results show that student teachers would teach certain values depending on the awareness of values priority, willingness to teach, their teaching capabilities and classroom conditions. So, mathematics teacher educators should provide relevant courses to facilitate student teachers to be aware of their implicit values and be willing to enact these values, and to empower student teachers with the knowledge and experiences to teach the values.

  • The aim of this study was to explore teachers' values about teaching mathematics in the classrooms which implemented Lesson Study and Open Approach as a teaching approach. The targeted group was 83 school teachers from 4 schools participating in a teacher professional development project. The data was gathered through teacher questionnaires, lesson observations and interviews. Data analysis is based on Bishop's (1988; 2003; 2007) and Komin's (1990) frameworks. The results from the implementation of Lesson Study and Open Approach in Thai classroom found the different of the roles and behaviors of teachers and students in classroom. The results revealed 3 kinds of values about teaching: Mathematical values, General educational values, Mathematics educational values and also found that most of the teachers valued problem solving as an innovative teaching approach as against traditional approaches they were familiar with.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 수학교육적 가치에 대한 예비 초등교사와 현직 초등교사의 인식을 확인하고 비교하는데 있다. 이를 위해 설문지를 활용하여 자료를 수집하고 주성분 분석(PCA)을 실시하여 요인 6개를 도출하였다. 이 요인은 체계적인 라벨링 과정을 거쳐 6가지 수학교육적 가치 즉 '재미', '문제 해결', '표현', '계산', '능력', '설명'으로 명명되었다. 예비 초등교사와 현직 초등교사 모두 '문제 해결'을 가장 중요하게 생각하였으며 이 요인에 대해 통계적으로 집단 간 유의미한 차이는 없었다. '설명'을 제외한 모든 수학교육적 가치에 대해 1학년 예비 초등교사, 4학년 예비 초등교사, 현직 초등교사 순으로 더 중요하게 여기는 경향이 있었다. 특히 예비 초등교사와 현직 초등교사 사이에 각 가치에 대한 인식의 차이가 두드러지는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 토대로 교사 교육 프로그램에서 수학교육적 가치의 구현과 관련하여 더 중요하고 의미 있게 다뤄야 할 것이 무엇인지 논의의 필요성을 강조하였다.

  • This paper has two major purposes. One is to introduce the essentialist methodology as a way to articulate subjective aspects of human beings (e.g. teachers' personal values and concerns, philosophies, subjective experiences, etc.) at a deeper level. And the other is to present two portraits, as examples, of science teachers who actively address socioscientiifc issues (SSI) out of their own motivations. The primary data source was consecutive in-depth interviews with two science teachers, Jenna and Thomas, and the interviews were conducted on the basis of the principle of the "participant as ally" (Witz, 2006). The articulation based on the essentialist methodology shows that teachers' deep-rooted values and convictions often play a significant role as a personal social capital enough to expand their teaching practice (i.e. teaching SSI). Namely, this study confirms that teachers who are motivated out of their own convictions are likely to actively develop their own personal practical knowledge, and to implement particular topics or teaching strategies.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the elementary pre-service teachers' views about "the purpose of science experiments". For the study, the views about the purposes of scientists' experiments and school science experiments were surveyed from 227 pre-service teachers. And the responses were analyzed based on their gender, intensive majors and school science test scores. The main results of the study are as follows. First, in relation to the purpose of scientists' experiments, the pre-service teachers considered internal values of doing experiments were more worthy than the external values of it. In particular, the pre-service teachers responded that the most important purpose of the science experiments is 'to get the evidences for the theories and arguments'. On the other hand, the views from the women and social studies major pre-service teachers were more diverse than those of the man and science major pre-service teachers. Second, in relation to the purpose of school science experiments, the pre-service teachers excessively considered that the internal values of school science experiments were more worthy than the external values. In particular, only few pre-service teachers were aware of social and personal aspects of the experiments, though they considered well that the experiments are useful tools for the school science study. Third, there were quite different aspects of pre-service teachers' views between the purposes of scientists' experiments and school science experiments. For example, the views about the scientist's experiments were relatively broad concerning the nature of scientific experiments, but the school science experiments were just regarded as an educational tool for the science study. Based on the results from the study, some science educational implication were discussed.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 '좋은' 과학 수업에 관한 중등 과학 교사들의 사고의 특징을 밝히고, 교사들의 사고 구조를 표상할 수 있는 개념을 발견하는 것이었다. 연구 참여자는 내가 2011년 1학기에 서울 소재의 한 대학원에서 진행한 질적 연구에 관한 강좌를 수강하는 총 20명의 현직 또는 예비 교사들이었다. 이들은 대학원 수업 중에 본 논문과 동일한 연구 주제를 가지고 질적 연구 실습을 하면서 다양한 형태의 자료를 수집 분석하였으며, 그것을 포토폴리오로 정리하였다. 본 연구에서는 교사들의 포트폴리오와 나의 현장 일지를 함께 읽으면서 연구 문제에 대한 답을 찾아가는 과정을 내러티브적으로 재구성하는 것이 주된 분석 작업이 되었다. 그 결과, 과학 수업은 모종의 가치를 실현하고자 하는 일이며, 교사들이 과학 수업을 통해 실현하고자 하는 가치들이 매우 다양하고 그들 사이에는 갈등 관계가 존재하기 때문에 '좋은' 과학 수업을 정의하기 어렵다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또, 다종다양한 가치들이 수업 상황에 따라 서로 다르게 관계 맺어지기 때문에 과학 수업은 본질적으로 부단한 가치 선택의 과정을 수반한다는 것을 논의하였다. 이렇듯 다차원적이고 역동적인 교사들의 사고 구조를 여러 개의 진동면을 가진 '푸코 진자'에 비유하여 개념화하였으며, 이러한 개념이 과학 교사 교육과 과학 교육 연구에 시사하는 바를 이야기하였다.

  • Background: Within the framework of the new Saudi Vision 2030, the education system is keen on developing Early Childhood (EC) curricula to meet the needs of children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, in addition to preparing teachers to be the main driving forces in this field. To achieve these strategic goals, the professional development of teachers has taken the lead in terms of their continuous professional achievements. Purpose: The recent study tended to explore the promotion of Cultural and Linguistic Competence (CLC) of teachers in preschool institutions in different sectors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) include public, private and international. Method: In the current study, (n=300) of preschool female teachers, who had experience teaching children from diverse language and cultural backgrounds, participated voluntarily by filling out the exploratory questionnaire. It was designed on a five-point Likert scale. The credibility of the scale and the validity of the questionnaire were ascertained, and the content for which it was designed verified in terms of the purposes of the current investigation. Results: The results revealed that preschool female teachers in the private preschool settings have a higher level of CLC compared to those who were teaching in public and international preschools in KSA. In the private sector, preschool female teachers showed create abilities to provide culturally responsive environments for diverse students, applying various communication styles, and showing proper attitudes and values toward diversity. Implication: The current study provided key implications for policy makers regarding the promotion of CLC for all teachers, particularly preschool in government settings in KSA. It contributed to revealing the cultural awareness of preschool teachers' values and attitudes toward diversity.

  • The study reported here is the Australian component of an international research project which seeks to identify student-reported convictions co-valued by them and their teachers during moments of effective mathematics learning. The 2 teachers and their 12 students in the 2 primary school classes associated effective moments of learning with 13 different values. No gender difference was apparent. Although the teachers planned their lessons together and were teaching similar topics, there were differences in what were co-valued. Of the 13 values, examples, sharing, resources, and multimodal representations were found to be commonly valued by students across the 'ability' groups, while the others related to particular 'ability' groups only.
