The purpose of this study was to analyze the trends of goals, themes and methods about researches concerning policies of teachers. In order to achieve the goal, we examined five academic journals(The journal of Korean Teacher Education, The journal of Educational Administration, Korean Journal of Educational Research, The journal of Politics of Education, The Journal of Korean Education) from the May 31, 1995 educational reform which sets a major historical inflection point for the nation s education policies to 2017 while following two steps. First, we searched studies about teachers policies from five academic journals which have keywords like ’teachers’, ’vice-principals’, ’principals’ and so on. Second, we selected 352 studies to analyze according to the five principles we set. The results of the study showed 1) that 65.34% of the studies were about inservice teacher’s policy and researches about ‘teacher evaluation(18.18%)’, ‘teacher training for preliminary teachers(14.77%)’, and ‘inservie teachers education(12.78%)’ are actively studied, 2) that themes of researches are concentrated at the campaign promises and major national tasks of the administration at each time, 3) that most of the studies were done for practical reasons in order to analyze the current state of policy implementation and suggest improvement plans, and 4) the most common analysis method was the literature review, but it showed a tendency to decrease continuously according to the trend of the times. On the contrary, the use of quantitative and qualitative research methods is increasing steadily.
