다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Human behaviors are affected by their contexts. Teaching behaviors and the methods used by the teachers are no exceptions. So, it is expected that Korean teachers will show unique teaching behaviors in Korean socio-cultural context. The Purpose of the study was to explore the characteristics of teaching behaviors and teaching methods adopted by the Korean secondary school teachers. Classroom teaching of 53 teachers(15 social studies teachers, 14 mathematics teachers, 14 science teachers, and 10 korean language teachers) was videotaped for an hour each. Teaching behavior categories were developed. Reliability for classifying teaching behaviors was .82. Teaching methods and its characteristics were identified from codified teaching behaviors. Major findings are as follows: 1. The most frequently used teaching method is direct instruction(90.6%). A few cases of simplified discovery learning and one case of mnemonics were found. Even the direct instruction was simplified. That is, one or more steps of direct instruction were dropped in the process. 2. Typical classroom teaching consists of review of previous lessons, goal introduction, teachers` explanation, review, and attempts to induce student participation such as having students read textbooks and questioning. Examples and practices were added in case of mathematics. The last teaching behavior is the review of the lesson. Many defects were found in performing each behavior. 3. Three themes that could explain unique teaching behaviors and methods were identified: coverage oriented teaching, teacher-centered teaching, and content-oriented teaching. characteristics such as simplifying the procedures and deleting questions was interpreted as concrete tools for carrying out those themes. Bigger size sample and more rigid research design were suggested to test those hypotheses identified in this study.
