The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationships between the teaching beliefs and the teaching behaviors of elementary school teachers, and to compare the discrepancies between them among Japanese, Australian, and Korean teachers in order to determine the characteristics of each country. Subjects were 212 Japanese, 137 Australian, and 63 Korean teachers. They answered the questionnaires consisting of 88 items each for beliefs and behaviors, having four sections:(a) classroom organization and management, (b) curriculum and instruction, (c) test and evaluation, and (d) motivation. As a result, it was found that the relationship between the teaching beliefs and the teaching behaviors of the Australians were the most congruent, those of the Koreans were the most incongruent, and those of the Japanese were the most ambiguous. These characteristics of the three countries were discussed in terms of the present educational system and organization of each country. The need for further cross-cultural studies in the differences was suggested.
