Abstract

The purpose of this study is to overview and analyze teacher training courses of comprehensive education training institutes for the last 3 years from 2017 to 2019 in order to provide the direction of improvement of teacher development: (1) What science teacher expertise elements are included in teacher trainings, (2) How much teacher trainings reflect the trends in science education reform in the 2015 revised curriculum. The analysis criteria were developed through inductive analysis of the teacher training programs after extracting the components of science teacher expertise based on the literature reviews. The analysis shows that the number of teacher training courses is steadily growing every year. In terms of training participants, courses for secondary school teachers were most often being operated and in terms of training methods, off-line training occupied the biggest percentage. Among the elements of science teacher expertise, the ability to understanding and performing experiments and investigations was accounted the largest percentage. In addition there were few opportunities to be developed the ability to cognitive and affective understanding of students, maintaining and creating a learning environment, and how to teach scientific modeling classes. Moreover, there were not enough teacher training programs to cultivate Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) for science practice-based instruction and nature of science instruction, and teacher feedback expertise, which was newly emphasized in the 2015 revised science curriculum.
