It is the purpose of this study to have an analytical review of the effects of the in-service education for the primary and secondary school teachers.
The effects are evaluated according to following six areas; 1) educational belief system, 2) curriculum, 3) educational methodology, 4) evaluation, 5) shool administration and 6) R & D.
In an oversimplified way, I can answer my original research question by conculding that
1)about 30% of the respondents were highly helped to refresh or reconstruct their educational beliefsystem through the course, 2) about a quarter of respondents were helped to study the modern school curriculum, 3) about 13% of the respondents were effectively helped to develop their educational teachnology, 4) about 10% of them were effectively helped to study educatiooal mesurement and evaluation, 5) about 37% of the respondents were helped to have theories and skills for the school administration(most of them are school administrators) and 6) about 18% of them were effectively helped to study more about R & D.
The importance of the in-service education is gradually being emphasized in every field of occupations. But as we saw above, the effcts of in-service program are far below the expected level. In a word, it suggests us to have more objective study and to reform the program of in-service education for the primary and secondary teachers.
Following recommendations may be suggested;
1)all of the in-service education should be integrated into the program of the legal institution, 2) the program should be organized in relation with the problems of the current educational movement, 3) to have a rapid educational innovation, the in-service educauion for the school administrator may be preceded.
