In the current era of mathematics education, constructivism is a core theory of learning. For teachers, understanding and applying constructivism to their teaching practices are crucial for student centered teaching. However, some mathematics educators understand Constructivism in a different way. For example, some future teachers view Constructivism as making mathematics 'fun' by creating game without considering conceptual understanding. In this paper, the original articles of Constructivism were revisited and investigated to understand and to search for their meanings. Also several types and sources of Constructivism were identified; Radical Constructivism, Vygotsky's social-cultural theory of development, Social Constructionism, and Social Constructivism. This paper investigated arguments of the several types of Constructivism and discussed their implications for mathematics teaching.

본 논문의 목적은 두 가지이다: 첫째, 구성주의와 사회문화주의의 통합적인 이해를 통해 수학 교사 교육에서 사용할 수 있는 이론적인 잠재성을 토의한다. 둘째, 비고츠키의 사회문화주의에 대한 토의가 그리 많지 않은 상황에서 사회문화주의자들의 주장을 교사교육적 관점에서 설명한다. 학습을 개인적 타원에서 설명하는 구성주의와 학습을 사회적 차원에서 설명하는 사회문화주의는 그 발생 원리상 큰 차이점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차이점에 대한 논란보다는 어떻게 이 두 가지 이론이 학생들의 수학 학습에서 교사의 역할에 대한 재조명과 이론적 지지 기반을 제공할 수 있는 가능성을 갖는지 다루고 있다.

I studied in this paper on the comparative study between the constructivism and the structuralism as the educational methods. On the constructivism in educational methods they say that knowledge is constructed subjectively by person individually(cognitive constructivism) or by persons reciprocally in the society(social constructivism). On the structuralism in educational methods they say that knowledge(structure) is in the closed-end text objectively and person pursue and identify this objective knowledge in the closed-end text. But on the post-structuralism(neostructuralism) they say that the text is not closed-ended but open-ended. So constructivism is consistent with post-structuralism. Education include application of knowledge and awareness of knowledge on my opinion. Education on application of knowledge is more important in this knowledge based society. Constructivism connote the application of knowledge in the education. School library media center and media specialist(teather-librarian) are essential elements of this application of knowledge in the education.

최근 초등수학교육에서 구성주의는 현대사회가 요구하는 수학적 사고력 신장을 위한 하나의 대안으로 수학교육의 이론적 연구와 실제적 개혁을 이끌어 오고 있다. 그러나, 구성주의적 인식론은 수학교육에서 그 자체가 수학교수에 대한 하나의 대안으로 받아들여져서, 교수활동에 대한 실제적인 모색은 활발하지 못했다.(중략)

The purpose of this article is to examine and assess the main issues in social constructivism with reference to the history of technology. Social constructivism, as an alternative explanation to technological change, has developed its points actively responding to various criticisms. Historians of technology have joined in dialogues with social constructivists through controversies about narrative vs theory, reliability vs performance, and evolution of bicycle. Social constructivists tend to use new jargons excessively, don't deal historical materials rigorously, and don't consider content-dependency sufficiently. To apply social constructivism to Korean cases many problems should be identified including the deficiency of historical materials, the importance of technological learning, and the peculiarity of relevant social group.

우리 사회에서 학벌주의는 여러 가지 사회 경제적 문제를 유발시키고 있다. 또한, 학벌주의는 과열 사교육비의 증가, 과도한 대학 입시 경쟁, 대학의 서열 고착화 등의 교육문제를 유발시키면서 공업교육을 비롯한 직업교육을 기피하게 하는 원인을 제공하는 등 교육 전반에 걸쳐 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 내포하고 있는 학벌주의를 극복하기 위해 노력하는 일은 우리 사회를 능력중심사회로 발전시킬 수 있는 계기를 마련해 줄 수 있고, 학습자들의 소질과 적성에 부합하는 진로를 선택할 수 있는 계기를 제공해 준다는 점에서 그 의의가 매우 크다. 학벌주의의 극복을 위한 대책의 효율적인 추진을 위해서는 무엇보다도 다양한 사회 구성원의 학벌주의에 관한 인식을 정확하게 파악하는 연구가 필요하다. 더욱이 최근에 정부가 학벌주의 개선을 위한 다양한 대책을 구상하고 있는 현 시점에서는 그간에 논의된 이들 개선 대책에 관한 의견도 동시에 조사 분석할 필요가 있다. 이러한 필요성에 기초하여 이 연구에서는 우리 사회의 다양한 구성원을 대상으로 학벌주의에 관한 인식과 개선 요구를 조사 연구함을 주 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 첫째, 사회의 다양한 구성원을 대상으로 학벌주의의 원인과 문제점에 대한 인식을 종합적으로 조사하였다. 둘째, 사회의 다양한 구성원을 대상으로 학벌주의의 개선 요구 사항을 종합적으로 조사하였다. 셋째, 조사 결과가 함의하는 시사점을 도출하였다. 연구 결과 학벌주의의 극복을 위한 실천 대책을 수립하는 과정에서 중시되어야 할 관점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학벌주의의 개념 정립이 필요하다. 둘째, 학벌주의는 다른 나라보다 우리나라에서 더욱 심각한 사회 문제로 접근되어야 한다. 셋째, 학벌주의 형성 원인에 대한 정확한 이해와 분석에 기초한 대책 수립이 필요하다. 넷째, 학벌주의의 원인은 교육제도 내에서보다는 사회 전반에서 구명되고, 그 극복 대책이 마련되어야 한다. 다섯째, 대증적(對症的)인 대책보다는 장기적이고 근본적인 대책 마련이 필요하다. 여섯째, 학벌주의 극복 대책의 지향점은 학습자의 올바른 진로정치의 계기 마련과 이를 통한 능력중심사회의 구현이 되어야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the employees' perception of organizational justice and their prosocial behaviors, focusing on the moderating effect of employees' individualism and collectivism. The survey has been conducted for 200 participants working in Korean companies. The results show that the perception of organizational justice is positively related with their prosocial behaviors. Also, employees' individualism and collectivism is significantly related with their prosocial behaviors. Specifically, individuals who are more collectivistic or less individualistic performed more prosocial behaviors than those who are less collectivistic or more individualistic. Finally, employees' individualism/collectivism has moderated the relationship between the perception of organizational justice and prosocial behaviors. When employees have strong sense of collectivism, they performed prosocial behaviors consistently regardless of the perception of organizational justice. That is, even though they perceive organizational justice as low, they perform prosocial behaviors in some degree. However, when employees have strong sense of individualism, their prosocial behaviors have been significantly determined by the perception of organizational justice. That is, when they perceive organizational justice as low, they rarely performed prosocial behaviors. But, as they perceive more organizational justice, their prosocial behaviors have been dramatically increased. The implication of those results and future research questions have been discussed.

This paper examined the strategy of experiential learning on Web-based cyberspace for constructive education of social studies. The results as follows : The first, constructivism has brought the paradigm shift in traditional principles of teaching and learning, constructivism is not a theory about teaching, it is a theory about knowledge and learning, learning is understood as a self-regulated process of resolving inner cognitive conflicts that often become apparent through experience, collaborative discourse, and reflection. It is proper for constructive education of social studies to carry out from cognitive constructivism to socio-cultural constructivism, from socio-cultural constructivism to cognitive constructivism and co-constructivism, considering the aim or objectives of social studies education. The second, Web-based Instruction(WBI) can provide learners for constructive environments which can be proper for teaching and learning. WBI was suggested as the best medium for constructive education of social studies in the information age. WBI must design teaching and learning so that may not be teacher-centered, if teacher-centered, it is not constructivism. The third, Web-based cyberspace is the proper mediated experience fields for experiential learning to effectively study regions or space because of overcoming distance fractions through the time-space convergence, it actualize the constructive education of social studies in the space age.

The purpose of this study is to explore the measurement of attitude towards science based on social constructivism and the application of this scale. The data were collected using questionnaires from 833 middle school students in the second grade. First, factor analysis were used to assess the construct validity of the scale of Reputation in Culture Border Crossings (R-CBC) developed by Krogh and Thomsen (2005). This finding indicated the construct validity of R-CBC scale based on social constructivism. Second, the correlation among two scales based on social constructivism and Test of Science-Related Attitudes (TOSRA) scale based on individual constructivism were investigated to examine the convergent validity and the discriminant validity. The R-CBC scale was correlated with Simpson-Troost Attitude Questionnaire (STAQ) scale but the R-CBC scale and TOSRA scale were not connected. Third, students' attitude toward science assessed by three forms of measurements were compared according to the choice of high school type. Students' attitude toward science measured by R-CBC scale and STAQ scale were different in three types of high school. This finding indicated that two scales based on social constructivism are useful measurements that can predict the choice of high school type.

This study aims to present a model of mathematics classroom for gifted students by applying the social constructivism. An important function of good materials is promoting students' conjectures and discussions actively, and the model is appropriate to these kinds of materials. This model includes four stages, i. e. forming the subjective knowledge, objectifying, forming the objective knowledge, individual re-forming. And the four stages form a cycle working continuously on more progressive materials. This study presents an example of the classroom for fifteen students of grade 6 on the properties of multiples. Students performed so active investigations, and structured the con-tents learned effectively.
