This study explores the impact of a STEM integration teacher professional development program focusing on teachers' perception of engineering and their attitudes toward integrating engineering into teaching. A total of sixty-eight teachers from ten schools participated in the program for five days. Data are collected from three main sources including (1) pre and post concept maps probing teachers' perceptions about the engineering discipline, (2) a pre and post survey measuring teachers' self-efficacy of teaching science/mathematics within the engineering context, and (3) engineering integrated science and (or) mathematics lesson plans and teaching reflections. This study utilizes both qualitative and quantitative research methods depending on the data we have collected. The results show that both science and math teachers thought that integrating engineering into teaching provided valuable outcomes, i.e., promoting students' learning about engineering and improving their interest in science or math through real-world problem solving exercises. Participants also felt more comfortable about integrating engineering in their teaching after the program. The results also imply that the teachers' understandings of engineering become more concrete after the program. This study also provides an overview of the challenges and advantages of teaching engineering in K-12 science and mathematics classrooms.

Rapid development of educational technology requires fundamental changes not only in the form of instruction and role of teachers in school education but also in the competency development of students. Specifically, the emergence of new technologies such as makerspace, virtual reality (VR), and robotics has made it more challenging for teachers and students in the 21st century. However, even with the argument for the changes, less has been discussed about how much in-service teachers are aware of and how they are preparing for such changes. Therefore, this study intends to explore what would be required to students and teachers, and for instructional changes with more technologies available through the lens of elementary school teachers. The study results suggest, similar to previous studies, in-service elementary teachers recognize that student competencies such as creativity, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills are important. They also perceived that teacher change in role and attitude, and for instructional method and classroom culture are crucial as catalysts of change. Unique and interesting finding from this study is about the importance of nurturing digital citizenship in technology-infused learning environment. The digital citizenship has been less highlighted in the past, but this study revealed it should be treated as a priority.

본 연구는 한국과 미국의 예비 유아교사의 다문화 관련 경험에 따라 다문화교육의 이해, 다문화교육 인식과 태도 및 다문화교육 효능감에서 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 한국과 미국 대학에서 유아교육을 전공하고 있는 예비 유아교사 512명을 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 다문화 관련 경험, 다문화 이해, 다문화교육에 대한 인식과 태도 및 다문화교육 효능감을 측정하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미국의 예비 유아교사들이 한국의 예비유아교사들보다 다문화 관련 교과목 이수 경험, 다문화 가정 유아 경험, 해외 문화 경험, 다문화 가정학생 동분 수업 경험이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 한국과 미국 양국 모두 다문화 경험의 유무에 따라 예비 유아교사들의 다문화에 대한 이해에 있어서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 셋째, 예비 유아교사의 다문화 관련 경험에 따른 다문화교육 관련특성은 다양하게 나타났다. 전체적으로 미국 예비교사의 경우 다문화 경험의 유무에 따라 다문화 교육에 대한 인식과 태도에 있어서 차이를 보이지 않았다. 한국예비교사의 경우, 다문화가정 학생과 동반 수업의 경험이 있을수록 다문화 교육에 대한 인식과 태도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 다문화 교육 효능감에 있어서는 미국 예비 교사들은 다문화 관련 경험에 따라 다문화 효능감에 있어서 차이가 없었으며 한국 예비 교사들은 다문화 관련 교과목을 이수한 예비 교사일수록 다문화교육에 대한 효능감이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to present the necessity of 'mathematics for teacher' and advices for enhancing professionalism of mathematics teacher. Many mathematics teachers don't know formula giving roots of cubic and quartic equation which is presented as a example of mathematics for teacher, but they feel the necessity of professional knowledge like mathematics for teacher. As the role of mathematics teachers changes, professionalism in various fields is required. That is, they must be equipped with the belief and attitude as a professional and understand the content of mathematics for teacher and mathematics education theory. After all, loaming mathematics depends on the quality of mathematics teacher.

Since 'teaching coding' or 'programming' classes for computational thinking (CT) education in K-12 are renowned around the world, a pre-service teachers' readiness for integrating CT into their teaching subjects is important due to the fact that CT is considered to be another 'R' from algoRitm for 21st century literacy, in addition to the traditional 3R (Reading, Writhing, and Arithmetic) [2] and CT roles to other disciplines. With this rationale, we designed a guided instruction based CT course for pre-service teachers. We show the effectiveness of the program with respect to the teachers' attitude toward combining CT into their teaching subjects, and mindset changes of learning computing connected with the career development of the teacher themselves. The research focused on the instructional methodology of teaching programing for non-Computer Science Education (CSE) majors who are not familiar with computer science for alleviating the cognitive load of first exposure to programming course under the CT concepts.
