“…The classification criteria for the research methods in this study refers to the classification criteria of Seo and Cho (2015). Given the characteristics of the papers, this study integrates and segments the classification criteria of Seo and Cho (2015) in two aspects: in the classification of the qualitative research, because only a few of the papers used qualitative research method, we integrated the detailed classification, treating the qualitative classification as a whole. Secondly, Seo and Cho (2015) classified content analysis research as an unsegmented single category, only mentioning that the content analysis research methods include content analysis investigation, analysis, evaluation, and suggestion.…”

This study aims at investigating the research trends in Chinese preschool education for sustainable development (CPESD), understanding its developmental trends, grasping the areas of neglect, and propose the future research direction. In order to achieve these research objectives, this study collected 163 papers concerning CPESD from 1992 to June 2017, including 149 academic papers and 14 dissertations, and analyzed the research trends in CPESD from four research aspects, namely period, method, content, and research type. The analysis showed that, from 1992 to 2017, CPESD research was initially rare, followed by first moderate and then, most recently, sharp growth. During this period, CPESD research has been primarily of the literature type, followed by mixed research, quantitative research, and qualitative research, with a lack of scientific and systematic research. The analysis of research content revealed the following themes, in descending order of frequency: "preschool ESD", "preschool green education", "preschool environment education", and "preschool environmental protection education", and the three common content types were "educational strategies discussion", "practical experience introduction", and "concept and theory introduction". Finally, the research type was mainly in the form of academic papers, with most of the research conducted in kindergartens.The world faces climate change, habitat destruction, global inequalities, excessive consumption, energy supplies and other complex problems. We have the responsibility for sustainable development and life in harmony with the Earth.

The aim of this research was to explore research trends and issues in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in South Korea. To accomplish this, we conducted an analysis of 222 peer-reviewed journal papers related to ESD in South Korea. The research concentrated on identifying four characteristics of ESD research: 1) key publication features, 2) the research topics described, 3) the research design employed, and 4) the types of sample/subjects. The results showed that the initial ESD research began in South Korea in 2005, and the number of the journal papers has increased since 2010. Regarding research topics, more research has been conducted on establishing conceptual or theoretical foundations related to ESD. Moreover, teachers’ attitudes or perceptions and program development associated with sustainable development were studied in depth. There were similar ratios of the theoretical research, quantitative research, and qualitative research regarding research design but mixed methods studies indicating the least ratio. Content analysis was the most prevalent analysis technique for quantitative/mixed ESD research. Regarding data sources or participants, the most common data source was the literature. Several research suggestions were made for assessing ESD programs and in-service teachers’ ESD professional development. Keywords: ESD, South Korea, science education, technology education, research trends.

To describe the characteristics and development of EE research in Korea, this paper includes critical reviews of previous studies which discussed the trends in EE research. The range of studies reviewed includes journal articles, doctoral dissertations, and masters' theses on themes of EE from the 1980s to 2016. This paper introduces the backgrounds and contexts of EE in Korea, interpreting the development of this fi eld and the roles of academic journals. This paper also shows the expansion and diversifi cation of EE research in Korea. In the processes, groups of researchers have conducted their studies in the emerging areas with specifi c target groups or topics such as early childhood EE and climate change education. By comparing research articles in the early 2000s and the early 2010s, the author suggests that the range of practices in EE has changed. Reviewing the past and present features of EE research, this study leads to discussions on traditions/currents of EE and roles of EE research for the future practices.
