The purposes of study were to survey the status of nutrition education in school and investigate the perception of nutrition teacher candidates concerning the direction and ideal method for nutrition education. A questionnaire was distributed to 554 nutrition teacher candidates from August to October, 2006. A total of 468 usable data were collected (84.5% response rate). The statistical data analysis was completed by using SPSS for Windows (ver. 10.0) for descriptive analysis, ANOVA and 2-test. About 52% of respondents had nutrition education teaching experience. Half of the respondents indicated that the necessity for nutrition education stemmed from their own need for such education. The main problem in students' dietary life was 'the increasing intake of processed foods, instant foods and fast foods (4.23 out of Likert 5 point scale)' and the major nutritional problem was 'high calorie intake with low essential nutrients (3.96 out of Likert 5 point scale)'. Over half the respondents (53.4%) recommended that nutrition education be oriented towards behavioral change rather than knowledge delivery. Social learning theory was preferred mostly as an theory apt to nutrition education (60.3%) and the most effective means of education was referred to organizing the regular class for nutrition education (50.5%). The 'playing such as songs or game' was reported as both effective and realizable method in nutrition education.

This study examined a total of three hundred and eighty one elementary students that attend schools located in J city and S city in J province, distinguishing between whether they receive physical education from a specialized teacher, in order to identify

우수한 교원을 양성하는 일은 국가적인 과업이 아닐 수 없다. 따라서 우수한 예비교사 인력을 확보하고 교육시키며, 임용제도를 개선하기 위해 정부에서는 많은 노력을 기울여 왔다. 그럼에도 아직도 예비교사 과잉공급, 프로그램의 전문성 미흡, 교원의 현장 적응력 부족, 미흡한 교수 확보, 교육여건 및 지원체제 미흡 등 숱한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기위해 그 동안 양성체제 개편에 관한 여러 방안들이 제시되었으나 아직도 논의 과정에 있는 것들이 많다. 앞으로 중등교원 양성교육의 발전을 위해서는 교육기간을 연장하고, 목적형과 개방형을 절충한 경쟁적 시스템을 구축하는 동시에, 임용 개선을 비롯한 관련 교원정책 추진이 필요하다. 이러한 방향 아래 양성인원 자율 조정, 프로그램의 특성화·전문화 강화, 교육실습 강화, 우수 교수요원 확보, 그리고 교육여건 개선 등이 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 필요가 절실하다.

Recently the National University of Education has been known to train excellent elementary school teachers. Results of this effort were still recognized by our society and schools. But they also demanded more stronger functions and role on pre-service tea

The purpose of this study was to examine how two different groups of students who took P.E. lessons from P.E. teachers and homeroom teachers respectively during a semester perceived the objectives, method, evaluation and environments of P.E. instruction.

In the dearth of pre-service and in-service teacher education in gifted education, particularly in foreign language education, teachers have difficulty in learning theory and principle. This study describes the secondary teachers" perception of gifted education in foreign language after they participated in a teacher training program. The research questions are: 1) How did the teachers perceive gifted education?; and 2) Did the teacher training program influence the teachers" perception of gifted education? If so, in what ways did it influence the teachers? The data include surveys of the 21 teachers, their class assignments and observations. This qualitative case study indicates despite the teachers" initial negative perception of gifted education, the program helped them see it in a renewed perspective. Briefly, through the program, the teachers familiarized themselves with the basic theory and principle in gifted education. More importantly, they gained hands-on experience by discussing various issues in gifted education and creating class materials. The study concludes with pedagogical implications.

This study examined the relation between physical education teacher's leadership style and students learning attitude. To do this, physical education teacher's leadership style was classified into democratic, training and direction, social supportive, pos

교육활동에서 교사는 핵심적인 역할을 수행하고 있으며, 교육활동에 대한 교사들의 인식과 지향은 교육의 실천적인 맥락에서 핵심적인 요소로 작동한다. 따라서 과학교사의 지구계 수업에 대한 인식과 지향을 분석하는 것은, 지구계 교육의 목표가 현실에서 어떠한 모습으로 구현될지 가늠할 수 있게끔 한다. 이러한 생각을 바탕으로 이 연구에서는 두 명의 과학교사가 작성한 교수 학습계획안과 심층면담을 통하여 이들이 지구계 교육에 대한 인식을 알아보고, 교사의 지향을 수업에 대한 일반적 관점과 통합의 관점에서 분석하였다. 연구 결과 지구계 교육의 궁극적 겨냥점인 '전지구적 과학소양'에 대한 교사의 충분한 이해가 선행될 때 그 취지가 충분히 반영된 지구계 수업이 실천될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교사가 전 지구적 과학 소양을 함양하기 위해서는 네트워크 통합을 포함한 다양한 통합의 상(像)이 교사에게 구체적으로 제시될 것이 요구되었다. 아울러 현장에서 지구계 수업을 활성화하기 위해서는 지구계 교육 커리큘럼 구성에 대한 제도적인 뒷받침이 필요한 것으로 보인다.

arched for standards in teacher competency for the different economies in the Asia-Pacific region. We found information about them in several documents contained in the UNESCO and in the Ministry of Education of each economy. After that, we looked for common strategies to propose a model for teacher training with ICT and in the use and introduction of ICT in schools. We found that there are a lot of commonalities, specifically that teachers should be competent in a variety of software and technological tools appropriated to the topic they teach and the students 'age, assess the software and technological tools relevant to the topic they teach and their potential to be used in class, use the computers in a constructive way and to prepare and utilize work plans that incorporate the use of technology. But despite all the advances and recommendations about ICT introduction in teacher training, we still lack a common model that allows us to exchange and share information regarding this issue, even within the Asia-Pacific region. We tried to put these competencies in one single place so that people can access and consider them in developing a teacher training or ICT introduction to classrooms programs.

This paper is concerned with the ongoing influence of in-service teacher education upon teachers’ instructional behavior and attitudes. Thus the purpose of this study is to trace attitudinal and instructional changes after in-service teacher training and thereby identify either favorable or unfavorable factors affecting such changes in classroom settings. First, a survey was conducted to see which teacher training programs teachers preferred, uncover any changes in instructional behavior and attitudes as well as factors related to said changes, and gather suggestions for prospective teacher training programs. For additional data, four teachers’ reflective journals and interviews were analyzed. The results of the study were as follows: 1) teachers believed that a teacher’s techniques rather than their English proficiency have the most direct influence upon effective English instruction; 2) changes in both behavior and attitudes are observed for only a short period right after in-service teacher education; and 3) a major factor impeding change is the discrepancy between the English language curriculum and actual classroom instruction, which is largely due to the washback effect of the requirements of the Scholastic Aptitude Test required for college admission.

본 연구에서는 사범대학의 현행 지구과학 교사 양성 교육 과정을 크게 교직 이론, 교육 실습, 교과 교육학, 교과 내용학으로 나누어 분석하여 그 개선 방안을 탐색해 보았다. 교직이론의 경우는 교육학 이론 학습에 치중하고 있어 실제성이 떨어지며, 교과 교육학 선수 학습 교과로서 이수 시기에 문제가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러므로 과목간 연계성 유지를 위해 교직 이론을 교과 교육학 이전에 이수하도록 하며, 되도록이면 현장성이 강한 교직 이론 과목을 이수하도록 권장하여야 할 것이다. 교육 실습의 경우는 교육실습 기간이 외국에 비해 짧으며, 신규 교사를 위한 별도의 업무 외 연수과정이 없고 인턴제도나 직무 연수 프로그램이 미흡한 현재의 교사 양성 교육과정 체제에서는 교육 실습이 이런 역할을 대신할 수밖에 없을 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 학교 시스템의 전반적인 흐름을 이해하기 위해서 교육 실습 기간을 최소3∼6개월 이상으로 늘려야 할 필요가 있다. 교과 교육학의 경우는 우선 교과 내용학에 비해 할당된 과목의 비율이 매우 낮았다. 그러므로 교과 교육학 과목의 양적인 증가가 우선되어야 할 것이며, 지구과학 교과 교육 전공 교수의 확보가 필요하다. 교과 내용학의 경우, 다루는 내용이 중등학교 교육 과정과 동떨어진 면이 있으며 대학별로 개설 강좌의 영역별비율에서 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 문제를 해소하기 위해서는 교과 교육학 강좌와 교과 내용학 강좌를 연계시켜 개설하고, 각 영역별 기본 이수 학점을 적정 비율로 할당하는 방법을 고려해 보아야 할 것이다.

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.

Teachers who are responsible for children's education are very important to help the school age children to have right nutrition knowledge, they are confronted with difficulties to teach due to the lack of nutrition knowledge as well as materials that can be easily understood by children. The purpose of this study was to look into the basic knowledge of elementary school teachers on nutrition. The elementary school teachers investigated didn't get good marks in nutritional knowledge, food and cooking method knowledge and sanitary knowledge, as the collective averages in those areas were respectively 56.08±14.80, 60.52±10.95, and 45.25±16.13. Sixty seven percent of respondents the largest group, acquired nutritional information through mass media, but they wanted to be given teaching information in the form of educational materials(49.0%). More than 70 percent believed that nutrition should be educated by nutrition teachers (p〈0.01), and as for what should be handled in nutrition education, they thought that students should be educated to build the right eating habits (59.5%). Based on the results, a sequential nutrition education program for the lower grades of school children was developed. This program consisted of five different categories, and according to the results, that was designed to deal with the knowledge of teachers on nutrition, food, cooking method and hygiene, table manners and food-borne illness.

Rapid economic growth and social change have made us not only enjoy rich life in a material way, but also suffer severe mental anguish caused by the confusion about 'true value.' It is impossible to expect us to develop a better society without curing tha

본 질적 연구에서는 사범대학에서의 예비교사 교육과 현직 교사 재교육의 개선방안에 대한 현장 교사들의 의견을 수렴하였다. 현장에서 좋은 수업을 실천하고 있는 사례로 선정된 10명의 과학 교사들과의 심층면담을 통하여 그들이 진단하는 교사양성 교육과 재교육 실태 및 개선방안을 분석하였다. 사범대학에서의 예비교사 교육과 관련하여 좋은 수업을 하는 현장의 과학교사들은 (1) 사범대학이 교사양성 기관으로서의 정체성을 확보해야 하며, (2) 이론과 실제가 조화된 교육과정을 통하여 현장과의 연계성을 고려한 교사양성 교육을 실시해야 하고, 이를 위하여 (3) 사범대학 교수진에 교과교육 전공자를 확보해야 한다고 주장하였다. 또한, 교사들은 현직 교사 연수와 관련하여 (1) 현직 교사들 스스로 계속교육에 대한 인식을 전환하여 교사로서의 전문성 개발을 위하여 끊임없이 노력하여야 하며, (2)교사 연수 내용과 방법의 현장성을 높여서 교사들이 필요로 하는 교사연수로 바뀌어야 하며, (3)교직 사회에 진정한 의미의 수업장학 풍토의 정착이 필요하다고 강조하였다. 성공적인 교실개혁을 위한 교사 (재)교육의 필요성도 논의하였다.
