The purpose of this study is to investigate instruction design education of pre-service teachers in teacher
education institutes, to explore the characteristics and changes of instructional design of pre-service teachers
and to suggest the implications of teacher training courses in college of education. In this paper, we
collected ‘instruction design based on demonstrative lesson’ reports from 27 pre-service teachers in A
university located in Metropolitan area. A tool for analyzing the critical essays was produced. Through this
paper, first, we were able to identify that pre-service teachers tried to design instruction ‘focused on
learner-centered’ in ‘declarative dimension’, such as ‘considering individual differences and levels of learners’,
‘emphasizing learner's participation and activity in class’. Second, we were able to identify that pre-service
teachers have tried to design ‘effective instructional design for course lesson’, such as ‘exploring instructional
design theory for course lesson’, ‘exploring the role of teacher to teach course contents.’ Third, we were
able to identify that pre-service teachers have experienced ‘changes in perceptions of instructional design’
such as ‘understanding the importance and necessity of instructional design’, ‘identifying the essential
meaning of instructional design’ to teach students in classroom. Based on the results, this paper
suggestions both for practice and theory regarding ‘instruction design education’ to train pre-service teachers
in teacher training institution.
