INTRODUCTION
Teacher education or teacher training refers to programs,

policies, procedures, and provision designed to equip
(prospective) teachers with the knowledge, attitudes,
behaviors, approaches, methodologies and skills they require
to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school,
and wider community. The professionals who engage in
training the prospective teachers are called teacher educators
(or, in some contexts, teacher trainers).
TEACHER TRAINING IN SOUTH KOREA
As part of the goal of excellence in the educational system

and to ensure the sense of professionalism and commitment
to teaching, licensure under legal criteria is required of
graduates of teacher training institutes. Teachers are
classified into teachers (first and second level), assistant
teachers, professional counselors, librarians, training
teachers, and nursing teachers. They must meet specific
standards for each category and be licensed by the Minister
of Education, as regulated by presidential decree.
Presidential Commission on Education
Reform PCER 1995
As attention is increasingly directed toward the quality of education
rather than its quantity, general teachers' qualifications have become
one of the core issues in Korean education.
The goal of the 1995 education Reform, was to train excellent

teachers who could meet the challenges of increasingly assertive
students, the information age, globalization, and the changing field
itself. The training programs emphasize pedagogy, ethics, and
information management ability, as well as class management and
counseling skills (MOE).
