The study is aimed at investigating the impact of self- and peer-assessment on students’ teacher efficacy and satisfaction in lesson planning at a university foreign language pedagogy course. Four self- and peer-assessment sessions for developing pedagogically sound lesson plans were held for 7 weeks. Nineteen students participated in the study. A student questionnaire was collected to see if self- and peer-assessment affected students’ teacher efficacy twice in weeks 1 and 7. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted to understand students’ perceptions of self- and peer-assessment in terms of its benefits and room for improvement. The research revealed the findings as follows. Firstly, there was a statistically significant impact of self- and peer-assessment of lesson plans on both domains of teacher-efficacy: personal teaching efficacy and teaching outcome expectancy. Secondly, students found self- and peer-assessment satisfactory and useful when building lesson plans. Thirdly, themes for benefits of self- and peer-assessment were ‘objective perspective,’ ‘heightened insight,’ and ‘reflective thinking.’ Lastly, two themes for room for improvement in peer-assessment were ‘offering positive feedback’ and ‘working on the same period.’

As Korea has recently become a multicultural society, English teachers acknowledge the need to address anti-racism in the classroom. However, how to raise students’ racial awareness and ways to incorporate racial issues into English language instruction have not been sufficiently studied in the Korean teacher education context. The aims of this study were to provide pre-service English teachers with a guide to implementing antiracist pedagogy in their language teaching and assessing its impact on their racial literacy development and to examine how pre-service English teachers’ racial literacy can be developed through multiple self-reflective practices and microteaching experiences in their teacher education programs. This paper first introduces an anti-racist curriculum for pre-service English teachers intended to raise their multicultural awareness, and then provides multiple educational resources and teaching strategies to help them become culturally responsive language teachers. The paper concludes with some pedagogical implications regarding the necessity of including culturally responsive teaching in teacher education programs.

Reflective practice has become an integral component in teacher education. Many studies have investigated the development of a teacher’s reflective practice, but less attention has been paid to novice L2 teacher trainees’ development of reflective practice. Similarly, little is known about their concerns, interest, and needs, as they manifest in reflection. This study, therefore, identifies reflective themes that teacher trainees concern about after microteaching. It further examines whether teacher trainees’ reflective focus differs depending on their knowledge and experience in the teacher education program. Seventeen teacher trainees, who were either in the beginning or advanced L2 teaching courses, reflected about their microteaching, and their written reflections were analyzed by their contents. Seven themes emerged, which include teacher behaviors, classroom management, planning, microteaching context, language-specific features, student learning, and teacher roles. Overall, teacher trainees focused more on teacher behaviors and their self-image in relation to classroom management and lesson planning than issues on student learning and teaching. It was also found that this tendency was stronger for beginning trainees than advanced trainees. These findings are discussed in light of the development of reflective practice.

The purpose of this study is to explore the nature of pre-service language teachers’ reflection for problem solving, focusing on facets of problem solving. For this purpose, this study collected and analyzed twenty pre-service English teachers’ ninety-four entries of reflection guided by semi-structured guidelines for problem solving: pre-reflective, reflective thinking, and post-reflective. For the analysis of the data, this study adopted constant comparative analysis to identify and categorize features in the data from the perspective of qualitative approach. This study found three dimensions of problem solving and three or four segments under each dimension. Dimensions represent the possible procedural steps of problem solving: ‘problem-determination’, ‘problem-analysis’, and ‘solution’. In terms of cognitive purposes, four possible segments emerged: ‘description’, ‘elaboration’, ‘justification’, and ‘evaluation’. In contrast, concerning perspectives on viewing problems, this study identified three segments: ‘thou-view’, ‘i-view’, and ‘alternative-view’. The variation in the employment of the dimensions and segments was found to represent diverse patterns of problem solving in pre-service language teacher reflection. The findings of this study suggest some implications for pre-service language teacher education.

The purpose of this study was to explore pre-service teachers' reflectivity occurring in their first-person reflection on their experience, by examining how they defined a problem and suggested its solution. For the research purpose, this study adopted Dewey's (1933) idea of reflection from which the definition of reflection in much research on teachers' reflections originated. This study analyzed the problem sections occurring in their reflection after first teaching practice, in terms of focus and depth of problem solving. The total number of the sections was seventy-nine and on average each participant's teaching journal involved three sections of a problem. Examination of focus of reflection was done as to 'agent of problem' and 'target of reflection', whereas an analysis of the depth of their reflection was done in terms of the number of dimensions and combination of dimensions of problem solving. The findings showed that much more focus of the pre-service teachers' reflection was put on the performance inside the classroom than outside. That is, the interaction between the teacher and the student was their primary concern. Also, the findings indicated that over half of the problem sections were beyond the superficial level of reflective thinking, but one third of the problem sections stayed still within the superficial depth of reflection. This suggested the necessity of providing guidelines on the focus and depth of reflection when reflection was employed as a tool of pre-service teacher's professional development.

The purpose of this study is to present and explore current state and reform tendency of teacher education curriculum of Normal universities in China, focusing on curriculum provisions and training methods of pre-service teachers. For this purpose, the background of teacher education curriculum reform has been discussed at first from angles of society, the government and Normal Universities. It is obvious that China’s teacher education courses have attained internationally known achievements over the past decades and have supported the largest scale of basic education all over the world. The current focal problem of China’s teacher education is not the problem of teacher’s quantity, but quality. In order to adapt to the new situation and tendency, the Chinese government adjusted strategic direction and provided new guidance on teacher education for improving the quality. It includes the transformation of teacher education models from “planned training” to “market oriented control”; active support for improving teacher’s academic levels; implementation of the open-type teacher training pattern and so on. According to the government’s control and guidance, Normal Universities should also change training concepts and teacher education philosophy, mainly on enhancing quality-oriented education, emphasizing students’ sustainable self development ability, and attaching importance on the concept of lifelong education. Under this same background, teacher education universities show extreme similarity on curriculum reform. They all stick to the model of one basic training object, two elective specialty calibers for choice, three-dimensional crossed curriculum systems, four types of optional curriculums, five-in-one training patterns, and six aspects of surrounded general education courses. A lot of practice indicates that the reform of teacher education mode in universities is effective and rational to some extent. The model is worth refering to in teacher education curriculum reform, for most countries.

This study was conducted to promote specialty of pre-service teachers by observing their ways of i mproving lessons and forming experiential knowledge through reflective school practicum. The followi ng research subjects were raised to inquire into the me

The purpose of the study was to explore the role of journal as a way to encourage pre-service teachers to reflect on their own learning experiences and to determine the extent of reflection through journal writing. Journals were kept by pre-service English teachers during a teacher preparation course where the focus was on the understanding of second language acquisition. Sixteen participants were juniors in an undergraduate teacher development program in a university in Korea. The journal entries the trainees kept were analyzed through content analysis method in relation to the dual role as learners and prospective teachers. Within this research framework, it was found that the pre-service English teachers reflected internally on their English learning experiences and could connect the concepts and abstract ideas to their personal experience of learning English. Also, pre-service teachers were able to display their reflective capabilities through the exercise of journal writing in spite of their limited L2 writing skills. From the findings it is suggested that journals can be used as a valuable tool for the teachers-in-preparation, both in developing reflective teachers and in generating powerful insights which later would influence their own classroom behavior and motivation as a teacher.

The purpose of the present study is to compare the use of discourse markers by pre-service training students and in-service training teachers in middle school contexts. For this purpose, 20 participants in each of the pre-service (PS) and in-service (IS) teacher groups were selected and their teaching was videotaped. Then, the data was transcribed with a focus on the use of discourse markers. The results of the study demonstrated that there was no significant difference in the use of macro-markers between the two groups. However, it is interesting that student teachers in the PS group used various expressions for elaboration a little more frequently than the IS group. In addition, significant differences were found in the use of micro-markers between the two groups in terms of segmentation and temporal markers. On the basis of the results, some pedagogical implications on the teaching of listening and teacher training are suggested.

Since 1998, an elementary teacher education institute in Korea has hosted the center for the gifted education. The institute hired undergraduate students to escort and liaison each class of the gifted student participants with assisting classroom activities. These liaison teachers observed the gifted classroom activities and evaluated them by using a given checklist and filling out pre-made evaluation forms. Currently this system is being transferred from part-time jobs for students to earn allowance into well organized pre-service teacher program focusing on the gifted education. In other words, the purpose of system is being shifted from how liaison teachers facilitate the gifted program to how the system helps the liaison teachers to be quality teachers for the gifted who can understand what the gifted are and how to facilitate them. Analyzed were the self reports of the liaison teachers regarding their perceptions and beliefs of the gifted and their education program. It was found participant liaison teachers purposed to have more live experiences with getting along with students as well. Liaison teachers’ perceptions on establishing a gifted teacher professional education sequence were reported in this study. The potential scaffolding of the pre-service teacher education program model of the gifted education was provided as a consequence of this study.

본 연구는 예비 초등 교사들의 환경에 대한 태도를 조사하고 이러한 태도에서 비롯된 환경 관련 인식이 학교환경교육에 주는 시사점을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구의 결과, 예비 초등 교사들은 경제적인 성장 내지는 과학기술의 발달이 환경에 미치는 부정적인 영향과 환경보호의 필요성은 비교적 올바르게 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이런 인식과는 대조적으로 삶의 질의 저하에 대하서는 매우 두려워하고 있으며 이는 환경문제에 대한 인식이 실천적 지식으로 연계되고 있지 못함을 보여준다. 아울러 예비 초등 교사들은 환경 문제에 대해 균형감이 상실된 편향된 태도 및 인식 경향을 보이는 것으로 조사되었으며, 이는 이들의 환경에 대한 태도 및 지식이 대개 대중매체를 통해 형성되었기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 따라서, 예비 초등 교사들이 환경에 대하여 균형 있는 태도를 갖추고 이와 연계된 올바른 인식을 형성하며, 이것이 실천적 지식으로 연계되기 위해서는 학교 교육을 통한 체계적인 환경교육이 필요함을 시사하였다.

이 연구의 목적은 교원양성기관 다문화교육의 효과를 탐색하는 데 있다. 구체적으로 교사가 과거 직전 단계의 교원양성기관에서 경험한 다문화교육이 현재 이들의 다문화교육 수업준비도 및 다문화적 교사효능감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴본다. 이를 위해 OECD 주관의 Teaching and Learning International Survey 2018 자료를 활용하여 우리나라 초등학교 교사 2,987명과 중학교 교사 2,677명을 대상으로 정량적 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면 교사가 교원양성 교육단계에서 다문화교육을 경험한 경우 다문화교육 수업준비도와 다문화적 교사효능감이 유의미하게 높아질 가능성이 있다. 이 연구 결과를 바탕으로 교원양성기관의 다문화교육 관련 교과목 및 교직과목 편성 등에 대한 정책적 지원의 필요성을 제기하였다.
