The purpose of this study is to provide an idea of implementing smart learning
curriculum, namely, “SMART Teacher Lab,” into mainstream pre-service teacher training
programs in Korea in order to enhance teaching practicum with an example of A college of
Education in Seoul where “SMART Teacher Lab“ has been introduced to professors and
students for one semester. This study, first of all, explains the details of ”SMART Teacher
Lab“ in terms of contents, organization, and the design features for smart learning. Second,
the data from the website statistics, a survey with 183 practicum students, 42 journals, and
two students interviews were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed to find out the
pre-service teachers’ smart learning patterns (use patterns), users’ perceived benefits,
preferences, and positive and negative evaluation after using ”SMART Teacher Lab“. The
data analysis shows that many students frequently visited the website and spontaneously
used the lab during one semester. In particular, the number of users increased due to their
hands-on needs during the practicum period of two months. Overall, the students were
satisfied with the smart lab (3.51/5.00) and wanted to recommend the lab to future
practicum students (3.89) after reviewing. The most preferred contents were demo teaching
movies, and the practicum students’ attitude guide was the second. Students showed the
wide variety in selecting smart learning contents on their own needs. For the successful
development and management of smart learning curriculum for enhancing pre-service
teachers‘ practicum experience, active advertising and detailed guideline is essential. In
addition, good field experience opportunity and various selection of learning contents seem
to be key factors of success.
