| Research Abstract |
This research focuses the structural transformation of the teachers' metaphor which plays a important role in steering the instructional scheme and achievements in the classroom situation. In particular, the image and metaphorical configuration are important for determining the quality of teaching. So it is indispensable for this study to figure the type and basic representation of teaching images, which includes the goals and the model of the individual development.
In the past, the Eight-Year Study contributed to the formation of the typology of the all behavioral changes across the goals of individual subject-matters. The problem-solving, planning, and creativity should be categorized into the more general performance indicators which signify the essence of the learning. The intellectual and imaginative configurations of the teachers help enlargement of the children's development.
The empirical studies of the curriculum in Finland and the United States have shown the fact that the excellence of teaching is made possible by the teachers' metaphorical structures which are spontaneously developed. We concluded that the teachers' metaphorical structure ought to be examined to understand the quality of the individual child's achievement.
