The purpose of this study was to research and compare teachers' preferences for 'Great Math Class' by region and gender. The research was conducted on 261 high school math teachers by using non-probability sampling. As the results of the study, regional preference had no statistically significant difference in all four factors of 'Great Math Class' while gender preference had statistically significant difference only in the factor of teaching (methods) and learning methods. Both region and gender had statistically significant positive (+) relationship with preference for all four factors. This implies that it is necessary to consider socio-cultural factors rather than teachers' perception on class for regional differences in academic achievements in mathematics.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the elementary school teachers＇perception toward the environment-related subjects in science education and to investigate their instructional methods in delivering the subjects in the classroom. The participants of this study were 300 elementary school teachers sampled from elementary schools in Kyung Nam Province. The findings of this study were as follows; First, more than half of the teachers surveyed showed that the environment-related units and contents in the science textbook were insufficient to the existing issues. Second, the large portion of teachers responded that the teaching materials in the textbook were insufficient to deliver the contents. Third, the largest portion of respondents replied that their preferred instructional method was a teacher-directed instruction followed by a case study approach. Fourth, in terms of the effectiveness of environmental education, both male and female teachers showed negative responses. Furthermore, male teachers were more negative than female teachers. Fifth, total means of their preference of the environment-related units was 3.13. The unit for sixth graders titled｀Environmental Pollution and Protecting Nature＇showed the highest preference, whereas the unit for fifth graders titled｀Structure and Functions of Plants＇showed the lowest preference. Sixth, there was no statistically significance in gender and their working areas. Seventh, there was statistically significant differences between male and female teachers in terms of teaching experience. In detail, the teachers with 5 to 9 teaching experience showed the lowest scores, while the teacher with more than 15 years teaching experience showed the highest scores in their perception of the units. Eighth, there was a significant difference between two groups in terms of their educational background. For example, two-year college graduates showed higher preference than four-year college graduates.

과학 실험실은 과학에 대한 흥미 유발, 개념 이해의 촉진은 물론 과학 교육의 궁극 목표인 탐구 능력에 효과적인 교육의 장이다. 따라서 교육 과정의 요구를 만족할 수 있는 적절한 실험 실습 기자재 확충, 수업보조 자료, 사회적 지원 등 외적 수업 환경의 조성이 필요하다. 수업 환경은 교사의 직접적인 영향력이 발휘되는 영역이며 수업을 주도하는 교사가 가진 수업환경에 대한 인식은 과학 수업의 질을 좌우할 뿐 아니라 학생들의 학습 태도와 성취도에도 결정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 초 중 고 과학 교사 262명을 대상으로 과학 실험실 및 교수 환경에 대한 교사의 인식을 알아보고자 이들이 선호하는 수업 환경과 실제의 환경은 어떠한지에 대하여 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과학 실험실 및 교수 환경에 대한 과학 교사들의 인식은 선호에 비해 실제가 낮게 나타나(p<.05), 학교의 실제 수준은 교사의 기대에 미치지 못하였다. 둘째, 교사의 성별에 따른 선호와 실제 간의 차이는 없었으며, 남 여 교사 모두 선호가 실제보다 높게 나타났다(p<.05). 한편, 선호의 경우 모든 하위 영역에서 여교사가 남교사보다 높게 나타났다(p<.05). 셋째, 초 중 고 모든 학교급에서 선호가 실제보다 높게 나타났다(p<.05). 한편, 선호의 경우 모든 하위 영역에서 초등과 고등학교 교사 간 인식에 차이를 보였으며(p<.05), 실제의 경우 '과학 실험실 설비 상태' 영역에서만 초 중학교 교사 간 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 넷째, 학교 소재지별로는 세 지역 모두 선호가 실제보다 높았다(p<.05). 또한 선호의 경우 모든 영역에서 소재지별 차이가 없었으나, 실제의 경우 '과학 실험실 설비 상태', '교수 조건과 서비스 지원', '지원 정책과 실천'의 세 가지 영역에서 중 소도시 교사의 인식이 대도시보다 낮게 나타났다(p<.05). 결론적으로 과학 탐구 활동이 원활하게 이루어지기 위해서는 선호와 실제 간에 조화를 이룰 수 있는 제반 교수 환경으로 개선해야 할 필요가 있다고 하겠다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating and moderating effects of teacher-child relationships on children's social behavior and peer preference. The participants were 508 children and 28 head teachers of their classes. Teachers measured the children's social behavior and the teacher-child relationships. Peer preference was measured by peer nomination. The association between prosocial behavior and peer preference was partially mediated by teacher-child conflict. The association between withdrawal, aggression and peer preference was fully mediated by teacher-child conflict. The moderating effects of teacher-child conflict were found between prosocial behavior and peer preference. In addition, teacher-child conflict moderated the association between physical aggression and peer preference.

This study investigated Korean university students' perceptions of NESTs (Native English Speaking Teachers) and NNESTs (Non-native English Speaking Teachers) in TEE (Teaching English through English) courses to examine strengths and weaknesses of NESTs and NNESTs. 100 university students who had an experience in taking TEE courses with both NESTs and NNESTs answered the questionnaire in which they were asked to answer questions of general area, language skills, affective areas, and teaching behaviors. 20 students out of them were also interviewed to consolidate the data. The results revealed that except for speaking ability, students did not express a strong preference for NESTs and they did have a preference in learning some specific skills. In terms of affective areas, students had a preference for NNESTs. In addition, there were differences in teaching behaviors of NESTs and NNESTs. These findings have valuable implications for NNESTs to improve their speaking proficiency: analyzing and participating in discourses, and monitoring teaching practice through videotaping.

본 논문은 사이버 학습체제의 확산으로 학교와 가정에서 인터넷 학습에 많은 시간을 할애하게 되는 초, 중등 학습자들이 인터넷 학습 시 어떤 유형의 학습양식을 선호하고 있으며, 이는 교수자들의 인식과 어떻게 다른지를 분석하여 이를 바탕으로 향후 인터넷 학습에서 고려할 시사점을 도출하는데 목적이 있다. 본 논문은 전국의 초등학생 386명, 중학생 627명, 사이버 교사 130명을 대상으로 학생들과 교사들의 인식차이 분석을 하였다. t-검증 결과, 초등학생과 중학생들은 인터넷 학습 환경에서 자기주도적 학습양식을 선호하였고, 교사들도 학생들이 자기주도적 학습양식을 선호한다고 판단하였다 하지만 교사들의 관점은 학생들 스스로가 자신들을 자기주도적, 의존형이라고 인식하고 있는 것에 비해 더욱 많이 학생들을 자기주도적, 의존형이라고 판단함으로서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다 이는 향후 초, 중등 학습자들을 위한 인터넷 학습의 설계와 개발 전략 수립에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 중요한 시사점을 제공한다. 결론으로 본 논문은 향후 초, 중등 인터넷 교육 콘텐츠에서 교수자와 학습자 양쪽의 학습양식에 대한 시각을 반영한 설계와 개발이 이루어져야 하며, 각 교과목별로도 특성화된 교수전략 및 학습전략을 수립하고, 사이버 교사들의 튜터링 전략에서도 차별화가 이루어져야함을 제안한다.

A nutrition education program for teachers and caregivers of the preschool children can be most effective when it is based on a comprehensive needs assessment dealing with sociodemographic factors, dietary habits, and nutrition. The purpose of the present study was to investigate current dietary habits and nutrition knowledge of the teachers and caregivers of the day-care centers. Two hundred forty two teachers and caregivers were administered a questionnaire which was designed to ascertain informations on sociodemographic data, dietary habits and nutrition knowledge. Dietary habits of the teachers were found to be significantly different by sociodemographic variables; breakfast skipping/meal irregularities (age, p=0.011); frequency of snacking (education level p=0.031); preference for salty taste(age, p = 0.000, marital status p=0.038); preference for sweet tarte (age p=0.009); preference for vegetables (income level p=0.050); frequency of eating out (age p=0.028, marital status p=0.001); frequency of coffee drinking (age p=0.019). Daycare center teachers' nutrition knowledge level was found to be less than adequate expecially on nutrients that are liable to be deficient in young growing children and their food sources. Proportions of the teachers who answered correctly to the questions on foods rich in vitamin A, iron content of milk, bioavailability of calcium in plant foods were as low as 20.2%-54.5%. The most frequently used sources of nutrition information were mass media such as TV, radio, newspaper and magazines. Only 2.9% of the subjects reported that they obtain nutrition information from health professionals such as nutritionists/dietitians, physicians, and nurses. These findings are applicable at the planning and implementation stages of various nutrition programs for the improvement of dietary habits and nutrition knowledge of the teachers and caregivers of the daycare centers. Further studies are needed to investigate the effects of teachers' dietary of habits and nutrition knowledge on food habits of young growing children.

For this study we conducted a survey far elementary students from 3rd to 6th grade. We performed a frequence test using statistic program and the cross-tabs between gender and grade. We then conducted a thorough interview with the students, after constructing several meaningful questions reflecting the results of survey. As a result of this study, it was critical to arrange interesting inquiry activities in order to foster student's preference for science and attract them to get involved in the science class. We found that teachers were needed to be more flexible to make a group during the classes and teachers would succeed to reflect student's characteristics. In addition, it is necessary for the teachers to refrain from excessive advising or immoderate interrupting student's experiment activity. We conclude that only when the improvements in the curriculum for science education should be made, teachers would allow students to recognize its significances by themselves, and let them follow the inquiring process during the laboratory class for themselves.
