Development of a research method that contributes to teacher development and construction of database for the research of teaching

本研究的目的是开发一种研究方法，并建立数据库作为其资源；以DVD的形式。本文的研究重点集中在以下几点：1。什么样的数据？他们应该如何呈现？我为什么要选择这种方式？作为设计数据库的共同目标，我们的研究成员有以下几个概念：数据库将为观众提供自由解读的空间。数据库将使观众看到教学和教师信仰的变化过程。以上概念告诉我们，这个数据库不是模型教学的集合，也不是基于还原论方法的集合，而是一个很好的讨论来源，通过自由解释加深对教学的理解。因此，成员们在不同的思想和理论中寻找每个数据库的理论背景。这些思想和理论主要有：社会文化理论、活动理论、探索性实践和经验主义。由五位成员贡献的全部数据库由野村汇编成一张DVD。观众会对这个数据库的多功能性感到惊讶。有些是由职前教师拍摄的，有些是由一位ALT和一位日本教师合作拍摄的，有些是来自韩国的，有些是研究员对教师的采访，还有一些是课后教师的合作环节。不可能有单一的固定解释或分析。也就是说，该数据库为分析教学提供了多种形式的数据形式，并提供了讨论的空间。如果教师和研究人员能够通过这个视频DVD分享对教学的看法，那将是我们的荣幸。

The aim of this research has been on the development of a research method and construction of the database as its resource ; in the form of DVD. The focus of the research was placed on the following points ;1. what kind of data?2. How should they be presented?3.Why do I choose that way?Also as a shared goal in designing the database among the research members we had following concepts ;1. The data base will allow space for the viewers' free interpretation.2. The data base will enable viewers to see the process of the change of teaching and teacher beliefs.The above concepts tells that this data base is not collection of model teachings or that based upon reductionist approach, but rather a good source of discussion to deepen understanding on teaching through free interpretation. Thus, members looked for theoretical background of each data base in different thoughts and theories. Such thoughts and theories are as follows: Socio-cultural theory, Activity theory, Exploratory practice and Experientialism.The whole database contributed by five members is compiled into one piece of DVD by Nomura. Viewers will be surprised at the versatility of this database. Some are by pre-service teachers, some collaboration of an ALT and a Japanese teacher, some are from Korea, some are interviews to teachers by a researcher and others are teachers' collaborative session after the class. There will be no single fixed interpretation or analysis possible. In other words, this database proposes versatile styles of data forms in analyzing teaching and offers space for discussion. It will be more than our pleasure if teachers and researchers will be able to share thoughts on teaching through this video DVD.
