  • The students' beliefs about mathematics teaching-learning come from the social activities in mathematics classrooms; and the mathematics classroom culture to a large extent decides the social activities in mathematics classrooms. So, the students' beliefs about mathematics teaching-learning are decided indirectly by the mathematics classroom culture mainly. The students' beliefs about mathematics teaching-learning react to the social activities in mathematics classrooms, and the social activities in mathematics classrooms react to the mathematics classroom culture. Therefore, the students' beliefs about mathematics teaching-learning react indirectly to the mathematics classroom culture. So, the relationships between the students' beliefs about mathematics teaching-learning and the mathematics classroom culture are dialectic, and the social activities in mathematics classrooms are the medium. In addition, the relationships have some inspirations to the current mathematics curriculum reform in the mainland China.

  • 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.

  • For the current study, five Asian English teachers participated in their case studies to investigate an in-depth understanding of their beliefs about teaching and learning English as a foreign language. Data were collected through structured and unstructured interviews, written documents, observations of teacher-participants' micro teaching, a research methodology journal and a self-reflection journal. This study described the beliefs that Asian English teachers brought to the teacher preparation program and examined to see if these teacher-participants who were involved in case studies perceived change in their beliefs. The study found that formal and informal learning experiences greatly shaped the way teacher-participants' beliefs about the way learning and teaching ought to be. In addition, early experiences of learning and teaching influenced teacher-participants' change in beliefs.

  • A comparison of mathematics teachers' personal beliefs between in- and pre-service teachers for Chinese secondary schools (grades 7-12) about mathematics theories, teaching and learning has been studied. In-service teachers' beliefs are close to constructivist's aspect and pre-service teachers' beliefs are close to absolutist's views. Based on the results, we give some suggestions to both teacher education and in-service teachers' training.

  • This study investigated differences in beliefs about English learning of 286 EFL college students and 52 English teachers in Korea. Data was collected using Horwitz's Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory and compared between students and teachers in beliefs. To address the research questions, the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics including frequencies, factor analysis, MANOVA, ANOVA, t-test, and reliability coefficients. The results showed four factors in student beliefs: Difficulty of learning English, nature of learning English, importance of correctness in learning English, and motivation and perceived importance of learning English. Clear differences were found in students and teachers' beliefs in English learning aptitude and importance of translation, error correction, and grammar rules. A few belief differences were also identified between Koreans and native-speaking English teachers related to the importance of vocabulary learning, pronunciation, and cultural knowledge. The findings of the study indicated that background variables such as gender and major field of study have an effect on student beliefs about L2 learning. The present study also provided pedagogical considerations to reduce mismatch between students and teachers beliefs and to improve the L2 planning and instruction.

  • 본 연구는 초등학교 과학 수업에서 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념이 교수 실제와 어떤 관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 초등학교 교사 4명을 대상으로 리커트식 설문 조사와 면담을 통하여 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념을 알아보았다. 그리고 각 교사당 2차시의 수업에 대하여 실제 수업 관찰 및 수업 후 면담을 통하여 수업 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 과학학습에 대한 신념에서 전통적 관점을 보인 A교사와 B교사는 교수 실제에서도 교사 중심의 설명식 수업을 진행하였다. 반면에 상대적으로 구성주의적인 신념을 보인 C교사와 D교사는 교수 실제에서 교과서 내용을 재구성하고 다양한 교수 방법과 전략을 활용하는 수업을 진행하였다. 초등 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념에는 교사간에 차이가 있었으며, 이러한 신념의 차이는 대체적으로 과학 수업의 실제와도 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 토대로 초등 과학수업에서 교사의 과학학습에 대한 신념의 중요성에 대하여 시사점을 논의하였다.

  • 이 논문은 수학 교사의 신념과 지식이 수학 수업에 어떻게 표현되는 지 미국 중학교 수학 교사의 수업 분석을 통한 사례연구 보고서이다. 미국 중학교 수학 교실에서 이루어지는 수업에 대한 정보를 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 수학교사의 신념과 지식이 수업에 어떻게 반영되고 적용되는지 상세하게 분석 설명한다. 사례 분석 연구 결과는 참여 수학 교사의 수학 교수학습에 대한 신념체계가 수업에 일정 정도 일관성 있게 표현됨을 보여 준다. 특히, 그 교사의 신념체계가 수학 수업을 조직하고 구성하는데 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 교사의 인식론적 신념을 바라보는 이론적 입장은 크게 영역과 무관하게 발달된다는 입장과 상황이나 맥락에 따라 차별적으로 활성화된다고 바라보는 입장으로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 교사의 인식론적 신념을 보다 복합적인 구인으로 이해하기 위해 과학 교사의 인식론적 신념이 서로 다른 과학 내용 지식의 영역(용불용설, 임페투스론)에서 그리고 '과학 지식', '과학 학습', '과학 교수'라는 세 가지 상황에서 어느 정도의 일관성이 있는지, 인식론적 신념의 맥락의존성을 고찰하였다. 연구 결과 예비교사들의 인식론적 신념이 '과학 지식', '과학 학습', '과학 교수' 세 가지 상황에서 일관적인 경우는 극히 적었다. 두 가지 상황에서만 일치하는 연관적 신념이 대부분이었고 세 가지 상황에서 모두 서로 다른 유형의 인식론적 신념을 가진 비일관적 신념을 가진 비율이 일관적인 인식론적 신념을 가진 비율보다 높았다. 또 용불용설과 임페투스론 두 주제 영역을 가로질러 예비교사들의 인식론적 신념이 일관적인지 알아본 결과 '과학 지식'과 '과학 교수' 상황에서는 주제 영역과 관계없이 일관적 신념을 보인 비율이 높았으나 '과학 학습' 상황에서는 주제 영역에 따라 인식론적 신념이 달라지는 경우가 일관적인 경우보다 더 많았다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 예비교사들이 보다 일관된 인식론적 신념을 통합적으로 구성할 수 있도록 도와주기 위한 시사점을 논의하였다.

  • Teachers' beliefs about teaching English are reflected in their practices in the classroom. They influence on the students' attitude to English learning. Any teacher training program expects the trainees to change or modify their existing beliefs and attitude through the new ideas and information introduced by the program toward a desired direction. The present study describes a teacher training program for elementary school English teachers and compares the beliefs of the teachers about teaching English before and after the training. The subjects are the elementary school English teachers around Chungnam area who get a special training of 120 hours during January 1997. The investigation of the subjects' beliefs on English teaching is conducted through examining two journals of each subject before and after the training. The journals show the teachers' inner flow of thought, so teacher trainers are expected to get insight on their general instructional considerations and have implications on the future teacher training program through examining these journals. In addition, the journal writing itself gives the teachers opportunity to reflect their practice and rethink about their beliefs, and develop themselves as professional English teachers.
