The main objective of this paper is to examine critically White's claim that there is a conflict between Perceptual Dogmatism and Bayesian Theory of Confirmation. For this purpose, this paper is structured as follows: In Section 2, I will introduce White's argument. Section 3 is dedicated to explaining some elements of Bayesian Theory of Confirmation. In particular, I will provide an explanation of confirmation measures and Bayesian Favoring. Using these two conceptual apparatuses, it will be shown that, contrary to what White has thought, there is a way of supporting Perceptual Dogmatism by means of Bayesian Theory of Confirmation - in particular, Bayesian Theory of Favoring.

The purpose of this study is to uncover weaknesses in the constructivism in mathematics education and to search for ways to complement these deficiencies. We contemplate the relationship between the capability of construction and the performance of it, with the view of the 'Twofold-Structure of Mind.' From this, it is claimed that the construction of mathematical knowledge should be to experience and reveal the upper layer of Mind, the Reality. Based on the examination on the conflict and relation between the structuralism and the constructivism, with reference to the 'theory of principle' and the 'theory of material force' in Neo-Confucianist theory, it is asserted that the construction of mathematical knowledge must be the construction of the structure of mathematical knowledge. To comprehend the processes involved in the construction of the structure of mathematical knowledge, the epistemology of Michael Polanyi is studied. And also, the theory of mathematization, the historico-genetic principle, and the theory on the levels of mathematical thinking are reinterpreted. Finally, on the basis of the theory of twofold-structure, the roles and attitudes of teachers and students are discussed.

The purpose of this paper was to introduce sociocultural theory which is a different epistemological perspective from constructivism and to understand the sociocultural theory in a systemic way by providing four specific criteria for a sociocultural theory from the analysis of Vygotsky's ideas. The four criteria are the followings: first, the origin of learning is not at the individual level, but at the social. Second, Learning takes place in a sociocultural framework through ZPD and there exists the stage of pseudo concept before it gets to a true concept. Third, a clear focus on action, especially mediated action, and the concept of psychological tools should be discussed in the boundary of a sociocultural theory. Fourth, actors in a learning process are not an individual child alone. In consequence, the role of adults, particularly teachers, are significant in a child's learning, and this fact provides a great potential for the active role of teachers in the students' learning of mathematics from the sociocultural perspective.

In this paper, I studied on reading instruction in the school library. Reading instruction is a very important role of school library. And it is an essential element of school education. In this paper, I tried an application of constructivism for reading instruction. Information literacy instruction of school library includes reading instruction. So the pattern of information literacy instruction of school library was accepted as reading instruction pattern of school library in this paper. And then constructivism for learning principle and reading strategies as reading instruction was analyzed in this paper. Gerard J. Westhoff categorized reading strategies into 4 parts. I applied this categorization of reading strategies to the reading instruction pattern. And I analyzed and synthesized these relative constructivism elements and reading strategies for the reading instruction pattern in this paper.

The purpose of this study is to verify the practical effectiveness of the constructivism education theory in building information modeling (BIM)/integrated project delivery (IPD) collaboration education by determining education methods that are most relevant to collaboration in the interaction process. We propose a BIM training model that enhances students' satisfaction in class and collaboration. We aim to identify interrelationships between BIM collaboration education and constructivism theories, examining constructivism methods in BIM/IPD classes to discern which are the most suitable for improving and enhancing collaboration and the proposed education model.

학습자들의 효과적인 학습을 위하여 구성주의 학습이론을 바탕으로 웹 기반 코스웨어를 설계하였다. 기존의 학습과정인 교과서, 멀티미어 타이틀, 웹을 기반으로 한 코스웨어 등이 개발되어 교육현장에서 적용되면서 학습자에게 학습 흥미유발 및 교육성취도 등에서 효과가 있는 것으로 많은 연구자료에서 검증되었다. 하지만 기존의 코스웨어들은 하나의 과정으로 순차적이며 단계적인 학습이 이루어지는 단점이 있어 본 논문에서는 이러한 점을 보완하였다. 학습자들이 각자의 경험과 지식에 바탕을 두어 여러 유형의 학습안중에서 각자에 맞는 학습안을 선택하여 학습하도록 하였다. 즉, 기존의 웹 기반 코스웨어의 장점을 살리면서 좀더 학습자에 맞는 웹 기반 코스웨어를 개발하여 적용하였다. 이러한 결과 구성주의 학습이론을 적용한 코스웨어가 학습자 중심의 능동적인 학습을 통해 학습 성취도를 높여주는 것으로 나타났다.

The biggest strength of the Internet is to enable to access information without any limitation of time and space. As the Internet and IT technologies have been developed, various kinds of teaching ways in education field such as remote lectures, video lectures, and CAI(Computer Adapted Instruction) have emerged. In terms of education, evaluation can be a basic foundation to help teach students in the next learning stage according to each student's level. In addition, it is able to give the information of students'abilities and provides proper learning programs to teach students on a case-by-case basis. The purpose of the paper is to establish evaluation system on the WWW(World Wide Web) that can reflect learning activities part of students in their evaluation scores based on the two important learning theories, Behaviorism and constructivism, which are mainly used in evaluation procedures to judge learning ability of students. This system will give information about learners, and analyze the learning interest of learners. The proposed system enables teachers to evaluate learning ability of students through various kinds of information of learners, and to execute level-based education.

This study examined the position and the characteristics of Korean writing textbooks in the rationales for writing education. Also, it explored the activities of writing knowledge formation based on the rationales in order to further propose some suggestions for the development of writing textbooks afterward. For this, it chose four Korean writing textbooks and presented the analyzed results through the processes consisting of material gathering, open coding, deep coding, expression and presentation as ones for the text qualitative analysis. First, it researched how the rationales such as formalism, cognitivism, and social constructivism were applied to and manifested in those textbooks. Furthermore, it examined how the language activities in the textbooks were shown from the four dimensions such as the knowledge of language structure, the process knowledge, the context knowledge, and the content knowledge; in particular, it focused on the content knowledge. It found out the results as follows. The rationales in structuring the chapters were not consistent with inner structures and contents. All the four writing knowledges were applied to each textbook; however, the emphasis and the proportion were different in each textbook. Also, it pointed out the textbook which contains diverse activities to be able to help the learners form the content knowledge and this sort of textbook is more effective from the perspective of social constructivism. Based on those results, it discussed several points which can be considered in the development and the selection of Korean writing textbooks later.

영재교육의 이론적 근거를 제시한 연구물이 국내에는 그다지 많지 않다. 뿐만 아니라 지금 한국과학재단에서 지원하고 있는 전국의 9개 대학 과학영재교육센터 역시 실천적인 차원의 활동을 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 외국의 대학부설 연구소들이 30년 이상 이와 같은 연구와 서비스를 지속적으로 실천해오고 있는 사례들을 우리는 쉽게 찾을 수 있다는 점을 거울 삼아 모처럼 마련된 국가적 차원의 지원을 토대로 그 바람직한 실천과 연구를 위한 방안을 다음과 같이 제시해본다. 첫째, 질적 연구의 집적에 힘써야 한다. 영재교육이라는 특수한 상황을 전제로 할 때는 더구나 그렇듯이 일반화를 전제로 한 양적 연구보다는, 사례연구와 같은 질적 연구물들의 집적에 노력을 아끼지 말아야할 것이다. 둘째, 교수-학습 활동은 활동이론과 구성주의 이론의 적절한 조화가 요망된다. 구성주의 이론에 입각한 교수-학습 활동의 모습을 단적으로 말하자면, 학습자 자신이 주어진 문제 상황에서의 탐구를 통하여, ‘구체적인 것에서 추상적인 것으로’ 나아가 스스로 지식을 구성하는 것이다. 그러나, 활동이론에 입각한 교수-학습 활동의 요지는 활동은 정말로 전형적인 활동에 국한하고 나머지는 교사의 설명에 의해 학습자들이 ‘추상적인 것에서 구체적인 것으로의 소급’이 가능하도록 하는 것이다. 완전히 정반대의 주장을 하는 것 같으면서도 일면 그 타당성들을 갖고 있는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 셋째, 학제적 ${\cdot}$ 통합적 연구가 절실하다. 연구의 측면에서 수학반 아동과 과학반 아동들의 활동상의 차이점이나 유사점 등에 대한 질적 연구를 시도해보는 것은 매우 의미있는 일이 될 것이다.
