다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Cyber education as an educational innovation requires conceptual and practical changes of instructors and staffs. It is required to provide the education community with access to high-quality professional development to support and improve teaching and management in the cyber education. This study, therefore, intended to design, develop, implement a training program for cyber education instructors and identify the requirements for a functional program based on the implementation. An web-and problem-based training program has been developed for this purpose, and the program has proved itself to be effective in facilitating the conceptual and practical changes of participants. The transactional distance in the cyberspace and maladujstment to innovative learning environments, however, have lessened interaction level of participants at the initial phase. The results indicated five requirements as follows: First, pre-worshop and face-to-face activities should supplement the main online activities. Second, concrete and context-specific problems should not be too much emphasized. Third, synchronous/asynchronous communication technologies should be strategically integrated to each learning activity. Fourth, instructors and tutors should model participants`` cognition and performance. Fifth, practical and relevant resources and information should be provided to motivate participants to take part in the current innovative changes in education.
