This study aims at exploring the theoretical perspectives and research related to second language teacher identities. In particular, this paper focuses on the studies on the identities of English teachers in the Korean educational system. Major findings are as follows: First, based on the previous literature on teacher identities, teacher identities are defined as dynamic, multidimensional, and changing, as they continuously interact with individual, social, and cultural contexts. Second, it was found that studies have focused on (1) the meta-analyses of English teacher identities, (2) native-speaking English teacher identities, (3) the identities of non-native-speaking English teachers co-teaching with native-English-speaking teachers, (4) the identities of non-native-speaking English teachers including pre- and in-service teachers, and (5) teacher identity development through teacher education activities. Lastly, this paper brings up issues and suggestions on the formation and development of English teacher identities. It also offers directions for the future research on professional identities of second language teachers.

This study aims to examine the Bologna Process in the reform of European higher education over the past decade. The year 2010 saw the completion of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) since the Bologna Process has been adopted, European higher education has expanded both quantitatively and qualitatively with full participation of European countries and the position of higher education in Europe elevated to a central position in the development and promotion of the competitiveness of European countries. While integration, quality assurance, lifelong learning and student mobility are considered to be its main achievements, the socioeconomic situation among the member countries hinders the Bologna Process from successful implementation. As a result, four questions in regards to the Bologna Process are asked. These are whether ‘soft-law governance’ is working, whether there is an ‘unchallenged consensus,’ whether a ‘brain-drain or brain circulation’ is occurring, and whether it is an example of ‘educational innovation.’ In conclusion, bottom-up governance and open coordination among various groups in higher education will create an agenda for a higher education motivating paradigm change toward student-based learning and education. As a result, the Bologna Process may be a ‘global teacher’ leading the change in higher education reform in European and non-European countries

In this commentary, I examined the implications of Existentialism for science teaching and teacher education. Existentialist thoughts and premises can be used to explore the human element in an educational system. Before emphasizing the pragmatic and technical aspects of teaching, we need to rethink why we teach and recognize our learners as unique beings in a continual process of becoming. By incorporating the existential perspective into curriculums and pedagogies of science education, we can help learners to make their existences and experiences meaningful. This paper consists of three parts. In the first part, I drew on relevant aspects of Existentialism and its implications on the views of the learner. In the second part, I examined the competency-based curriculum in light of Existentialism. Existentialism aims, in part, to develop an educated person who possesses a clear sense of personal identity, a critical attitude, and the inclination to be a life-long learner, and so on. These characteristics are consistent with the implications developed from the competency-based curriculum. In the third part, I explored pedagogical activities consistent with existentialist thinking the ultimate goal of which is to create authentic individuals who can take responsibility for being humans. In the conclusion, I discussed how existentialist ways of thinking and teaching call for the science teacher's reflective practices, where the teacher needs to integrate personal and professional knowledge as the situation demands.

One of major education process flaws in the Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan (LPTK) or Teacher Training Institute in Indonesia is portrayed in the implementation of the Program Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL) or Apprentice Program that has not optimally developed candidate’s proficiency to be competent teachers. Therefore, this research is intended to construct a teaching and learning model of practical teaching that can improve pedagogical competence as the ultimate goal to be achieved by future teacher candidates. The main subjects of this study were undergraduate students of the Elementary School Teacher Education program conducting their PPL in Indonesia University of Education and Lampung University. Based on the analysis of Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, on the level of significance of 95% (α = 0,05), the model produced from the research and development process and called theModel Pembelajaran Praktik Mengajar Reflektif (MP2MR) was verified to help improve students competence based on the following benefits,(a) teaching and learning and evaluation designs focused on standardized achievements (b) individual and contextual implementation of problem-solving based process of teaching and learning, and (c) priority to intrinsic evaluation.

The role of the teacher in the EFL context is a key to success for the improvement of learners' English abilities. Research has been conducted on how to improve English teacher education system in Korea to cultivate competent English teachers. However, few attempts were made to examine how the English teacher education system in general has changed in the last few decades. This study aims to revisit the English teacher education system in Korea on the basis of the teacher education models. For this, the pre- and in-service English teacher education research and programs are reviewed and analyzed. At least two new changes are recognized. The current pre-service program has become more English education oriented compared to past programs. In the in-service program, a new perspective of "teacher development" has been adopted to emphasize teachers' self-reflection. Several practical ideas were suggested for both pre- and in-service English teacher education programs so as to meet teachers' needs and the changes in the Korean EFL environment.

In most child-care facilities, homeroom teachers take the responsibilities for safety education, which has been conducted in class hours on a regular basis. It was found that most homeroom teachers are lacking in teacher training opportunities, and the younger they are, the less training experience they get. Teachers with fewer teaching careers had a greater interest in safety education and training courses. In addition, homeroom teachers have been utilizing monthly toddler magazines as a method to acquire knowledges for safety education and prevention of safety accidents. The safety accidents which have most frequently occurred in care-care facilities turned out to be stumble and tear, and infants aged 3 years or younger were found to be easily exposed to the safety accidents mainly due to the frolic between peers during the free-choice activity time. The homeroom teachers recognized only traffic safety education among the range of safety training courses, which varied depending on teaching career such as traffic safety education and indoor/outdoor safety environment training, etc. In addition, it turned out that the safety training methods were limited to the utilization of discussion techniques, role-playing, description and demonstration.

The main focus of the current article is to introduce and apply an evaluation model to an rNSET program for non-native speaking English teachers. The rationale behind why an rNSET program evaluation should make use of a synthesized approach to look at diverse variables from a balanced perspective is provided. While using the model as a guideline, this article explores the way quality drivers in an intensive teacher education program are interconnected to affect program quality. What/why/how the case study foreign teacher educator does needs to be examined through teacher trainees' perceptions and reactions, who better know context variables in their own classrooms. It turned out that the trainer's teaching quality was affected a lso by the socio-cultural variables within and beyond his classroom area. [n addition, it was revealed that discrepancies between stakeholders' beliefs and practices could lower the program quality as well. The article illustrates the process of how quality drivers and context variables affect each other to determine program quality and warrants more attention from ELT evaluators.

본 연구의 목적은 학습자의 핵심역량 제고를 위한 과학 교사교육 개선 방안을 탐색하는 것이다. OECD에서 핵심역량을 '학생들이 향후 사회적 삶을 성공적으로 살아가기 위해 필요로 하는 능력'으로 재정립한 이래로 여러 나라에서 '역량기반 교육과정'을 강조해왔다. 본 연구에서는 국외의 역량기반 교육과정 선도국과 국내의 외국인학교 및 국제 중학교를 방문하여 관계 전문가들을 대상으로 교과교육 혁신 사례를 수집하고, 각 사례별로 교사 및 학교장을 대상으로 심층면담을 통해 학습자의 핵심역량 제고를 위해 요청되는 과학 교사전문성 개선 방안을 살펴보았다. 연구결과에 따르면 개별 교사 측면에서는 학습자의 역할 변화에 따라 교사의 역할 변화도 요청되며, 교사는 학생들에게 핵심역량의 모델이 되어야 하고, 교사역할의 다면화가 요청되며, 연구자로서의 교사가 요청됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 교사공동체 측면에서는 교사들의 학습공동체 조직이 필요하며, 교사들의 지식기반을 구축해야 하고, 미래의 교실에는 다양한 전문가를 투입해야 하며, 지역공동체 및 다른 전문가 집단과의 파트너십을 구축해야 한다는 요구가 수렴되었다. 본 연구의 결론 부분에서는 연구결과를 토대로 핵심역량 기반 교육을 실현하기 위한 제도적, 정책적 지원방안을 제안하였다.

어떻게 우리는 복잡하게 구조화된 교육실제에서 능동적인 주체로서 기능하는 예비교사들을 양성할 수 있을까? 최근의 복잡성이론 및 해석학 연구에 힘입어, 본 연구는 교사교육에 있어 주체성과 교육과정, 지식과 정체성 사이의 역동적 관계를 그려보고 있다. 우리의 지식-의식은 우리의 존재양식을 구성하며 역으로 존재양식은 우리의 지식을 구성한다. 의식적으로든 무의식적으로든 언어가 우리의 정체성을 형성한다는 점을 감안할 때, 언어를 은유적으로 혹은 시적으로 사용한다는 것은 과연 무엇을 의미하는 것일까? 가르치기 위해 배우는 과정(교사교육과정)에서 개인적 실천적 지식은 어떻게 공적인 지식과 타협되는가? 궁극적으로 우리는 어떻게 학생-교사 주체성에 관계되는, 혹은 침투될 수 있는 새로운 교사 교육과정을 구상할 수 있을까? 본 논문은 기존의 주요한 세 교육과정 분류, 즉 기술적, 비판성찰적, 상황해석적 탐구 접근 가운데 상황해석적 교육과정 탐구방식을 미시적 접근법으로서 비판성찰적 탐구방식을 거시적 접근법으로서 취하여 균형을 맞추려고 시도하였는데, 이는 우리의 생활경험뿐만 아니라 사회적 수준에도 강조점을 두는 것이다. 이러한 시도를 통해 본 연구는 열정과 자아발달의 관계, 그리고 궁극적으로 윤리적 창조성을 육성하는 교사교육과정에 대해 탐구하고 있다.

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.

Learning can last for a lifetime and for those students now learning process involving the teacher where information only address is not in a period no longer new materials, new methods and new approaches to life are needed. Change and innovation in question is of course closely related to new technologies. Learning Management Systems (LMS / CMS) refers to such the most convenient and well-equipped as Moodle, and new technology to the students covering how to reach online learning tools; how the invention and most importantly, the process of learning will participate in proves to be very handy and equipped with a program. In this study, it aims to collect and determine the opinions and suggestions from those teachers taking in-service training program, which is about the web-based learning material to support MOODLE environment. A semi-structural interview was carried out with 15 volunteer in-service teachers, teaching different subjects at public schools in Uskudar district in order to acquire deeper understanding of students’ perception about the MOODLE application as well as blended learning environment. The interview process took approximately 15 minutes for each student, being videotaped and all those interview transcripts, asynchronous forum transcripts, open-ended question answers, instructor’s diary were analyzed. Web-based support provided by the method of in-service training important matter according to traditional methods of faster, more convenient, cheaper and more appealing to a wider audience.

이 글은 시 도 교육청, 또는 학교 단위에서 산발적으로 이루어지고 있는 초등학 교 한자교육을 활성화하고 질적 수준을 제고하기 위한 교원 양성 방안을 논의한 것이다. 2009년 개정 교육과정의 창의적 재량활동 주제로 한자학습이 포함된 것 은 바람직한 일이다. 하지만 아직 국가 수준의 한자 교육과정도 마련되어 있지 않 은데다가 전문적인 한자교육을 받은 교원도 없어서 학교나 교사의 판단에 따라 개별적인 방식의 교육이 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 지금까지 한자교육은 담임교 사가 담당하는 경우 외에 방과후학교 시간을 이용하는 경우가 대다수인데, 방과후 학교의 경우 교육을 담당하는 주체의 자격 기준이라든지 선발 방식이 자율에 맡 겨져 있다 보니, 수업의 질적 수준을 담보하기 어려웠던 것이 사실이다. 이 글에서는 이와 같은 현실을 종합적으로 고려하여, 교원의 전문성 제고, 교원 양성 체제와 방식의 표준화, 교원 연수 및 재교육 시스템의 구축 등 세 가지를 초 등학교 한자교육의 기본 방향으로 제시하였다. 또한 교원 양성의 방안으로는 교육 대학의 교육과정에서 한자(한문) 관련 교과목을 확대·강화하는 방안과 초등학교 정규교사의 연수 및 재교육을 통해 한자교육을 담당케 하는 방안, 그리고 사범대학에서 중등 한문과 교원 자격증을 취득한 자를 교과전담교사나 방과후학교 교사 로 활용할 것을 제안하였다. 이 세 가지 방안은 문제 해결 방식에 있어서 각각 양 성, 연수 및 재교육, 중등교원의 활용이라는 다른 차원의 성격을 지니고 있으므로 한자교육의 위상 변화에 맞춰 합리적으로 병행 또는 선택하여야 할 것이다.

The purposes of this case study were (1) to explore one experienced teacher's views on Earth Systems Education and (2) to describe and document the characteristics of the Earth Systems Education (ESE) curriculum provided by an exemplary middle school science teacher, Dr. J. All the essential pieces of evidence were collected from observations, interviews with the experienced teacher and his eighth grade students, informal conversations, document analysis, and field notes. The NUD*IST for MS Windows was used for an initial data reduction process and to narrow down the focus of an analysis. All transcriptions and written documents were reviewed carefully and repeatedly to find rich evidence through inductive and content analysis. The findings revealed that ESE provided a conceptual focus and theme for organizing his school curriculum. The curriculum offered opportunities for students to learn relevant local topics and to connect the classroom learning to the real world. The curriculum also played an important role in developing students' value and appreciation of Earth systems and concern for the local environment. His instructional strategies were very compatible with recommendations from a constructivist theory. His major teaching methodology and strategies were hands-on learning, authentic activities-based learning, cooperative learning, project-based learning (e.g., mini-projects), and science field trips. With respect to his views about benefits and difficulties associated with ESE, the most important benefit was that the curriculum provided authentic-based, hands-on activities and made connections between students and everyday life experiences. In addition, he believed that it was not difficult to teach using ESE. However, the lack of time devoted to field trips and a lack of suitable resource materials were obstacles to the implementation of the curriculum. Implications for science education and future research are suggested.
