다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The main purpose of this study is to explore the influence of case writing and case discussion on prospective teachers` understanding about teaching and learning for young children. 20 prospective teachers participated in this study. After a semester of experiencing case-based pedagogy, prospective teachers in this study indicated that cases facilitated a kind of reflection that was difficult to do with prepositional knowledge. The dynamic and fluid quality of case study allowed them access to the multiple layers of voices to be heard. Cases concerning classroom experiences helped prospective teachers situate their knowledge of teaching and learning. Writing and sharing cases offered prospective teachers an opportunity to reflect on the location of their voices as teachers, their pedagogical intentions, and the relationships. Through this process of shared reflection, prospective teachers developed a rich identity as teachers. Discussing cases also offered them the added opportunity to created their personal meaning for becoming a teacher.
