Abstract

This study investigated preservice teachers' understandings of the ontology and epistemology underlying constructivist notions of teaming. Throughout this study, the epistemological, ontological, and pedagogical characteristics for each teacher's developing views of learning were identified through four in-depth interviews. Data from interviews were used to create three profiles containing ontological beliefs, epistemological commitments and pedagogical beliefs. This study has demonstrated that the notion of a constructivist profile change has significant potential for informing the analysis and description of preservice teachers' beliefs changes. Major findings include: constructivist profile changes overtime, diversification of profile components over time, features of the teachers' pedagogical belief profile changes, and teachers' unawareness of their profiles. However, changes in ontological beliefs and epistemological commitments were not easy, nor were they easily internalized for these teachers. The implications of this research are that preservice teachers should be aware of coexisting different categories of their learning-to-teach profiles, and that teacher educators should provide these preservice teachers with instruction designed to change preservice teachers' profiles towards increasing constructivist views of teaching and learning and restricting other undesirable categories.

본 연구는 구성주의 학습이론의 기초를 이루는 존재론 및 인식론적 관점에 대한 예비교사들의 이해수준을 조사한것이다. 각 예비교사들의 학습관의 인식론적, 존재론적, 교수론적 특성들의 발달을 네 번의 심층 인터뷰를 통하여 점검하였다. 인터뷰 자료는 존재론적, 인식론적,교수론적 신념을 포함하는 세 개의 프로파일을 작성하는 데 사용되었다. 본 연구는 구성주의 프로파일 변화라는 개념이 예비교사들의 신념변화를 분석 및 기술에 있어서 유용한 분석 도구로서 사용될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 중요 연구결과로는 구성주의 프로파일의 시간에 따른 변화, 시간에 따른 프로파일 구성요소의 다양화, 과학 교수${\cdot}$학습 프로파일 변화의 특징, 및 자신들의 프로파일에 대한 예비교사들의 인식부족 등이다. 그러나 이들 예비교사들에게 있어서 존재론 및 인식론적 신념변화는 쉽게 일어나지 않았으며, 쉽게 내면화되지도 않았다. 본 연구의 시사점은 예비교사들은 그들 프로파일 상의 공존하는 다양한 범주들에 대하여 인식하고 있어야 하며, 교사교육자들은 이러한 예비교사들의 신념을 변화시킬 수 있도록 설계된 수업들을 제공하여야 한다는 것이다. 즉, 예비교사들의 교수${\cdot}$학습에 대한 신념 프로파일에서 구성주의적 교수${\cdot}$학습관의 비율은 증가시키고 다른 바람직하지 못한 성분들의 비중은 줄여나갈 수 있는 방향으로 교사 교육과정을 설계하여야 한다.
