A Research on the Improvement of the Teacher Education for Professional Development of Science Teacher

本研究旨在厘清学生教师对科学教学的知识、思想和信念，考察职前教师培训课程和在职教师培训对教师知识、思想和信念的影响，进而探讨教师教育对科学教师专业发展的改善。本研究对学生教师的知识、思想和信仰进行了调查，并在调查结果的基础上分析了学生教师对科学教学的看法等。另一方面，通过访谈了解在职初任教师对初任教师培训内容的评价及其对科学教学的认识、思想和信念。此外，他们的科学课被观察和记录。在此基础上，对在职初任教师专业发展的现状及存在的问题进行了分析和探讨。作为研究的结果，有一些发现。例如，在科学教学方法讲座之前，认识到有一些学生教师对科学教学和科学教师有自己的看法，也有一些学生教师在讲座期间改变了自己的观点。但变化的方式是不同的，与学生教师，尽管在相同的讲座。另一方面，在初任教师的专业发展方面，明确了小学教师与初中科学教师之间存在着共同的问题，具体的问题取决于学校的阶段，以及与每个教师的科学教学观有关的问题。然而，职前教师培训课程和正式的初任教师在职培训被认为不足以解决这些问题。

The aims of this research are to clarify student teachers' knowledge, thoughts and beliefs regarding to science teaching, to consider the effect of pre-service teacher training curriculum and in-service teacher training on teachers' knowledge, thoughts and beliefs, and then to discuss the improvement of teacher education for professional development of science teachers.In this research various investigations were executed with regard to student teachers knowledge, thoughts and beliefs, and on the basis of the result their views of science teaching etc. were analyzed. On the other hand, interviews were executed to clarify in-service beginning teachers' evaluation of contents of beginning teacher training and their knowledge, thoughts and beliefs with regard to science teaching. Besides their science classes were observed and recorded. On the basis of the data the actual condition and problems of professional development of in-service beginning teacher were analyzed and discussed.As the results of the research there were some findings. For example it was recognized that there were some student teachers who had their own views of science teaching and science teacher before the lectures on science teaching method, and that there were other student teachers who had changed their views during the term of the lectures. But the ways of the changes were various with the student teacher in spite of the same lectures. On the other hand, it was clarified in regard to the professional development of in-service beginning teachers that there were common problems between elementary teachers and junior high school science teachers, specific problems depend on school stage, and problems in relation to each teacher' s view of science teaching. However pre-service teacher training curriculum and formal in-service training for beginning teacher were considered not enough to resolve these problems.
