This paper criticizes the ontological and epistemological dichotomy in social sciences including social welfare and probes into Critical Realism as an alternative paradigm. Many theories for social welfare have adhered to dichotomous ontological standpoint, 'agency' vs. 'social structure', and Eco-system approach have occupied dominant position to integrate this dichotomy. These theoretical standpoint have had great influence on social work practice. On the other hand, dichotomous epistemological standpoint which is constituted of different views of phenomena, 'positivism' and 'constructionism', have had great influence on social work research and practice. These dichotomous ontological and epistemological approach have a limit to reveal qualitative nature of the relationship between agency and social structure, to ponder the deeper reality, the mechanism of stratified reality, and the reality being independent of agency. Replacing these approaches, Critical Realism unfold the theoretical potential as an alternative paradigm for social welfare through the discussion on stratified realty(the empirical, the actual, and the real), intransitive/transitive dimension, double hermeneutics in these dimensions, and the conditions for conceptualization, duality of structure and practice, transformation model of agency and structure.

This study suggested a knowledge theory, theoretical framework and general principles in methodologies for library and information science by theoretically weighing domain analysis. The central concept to domain analysis are a subject knowledge constituting the domain and a discourse communities to share their knowledge. Therefore the study described a definition of domain and explained domain in ontological, epistemological, and sociological dimensions, proposed eleven approaches available in domain analysis. And the study argued the implications of domain analysis for library and information in position of socio-cognitive view and pragmatic realism.

전자상거래를 위한 인터넷의 웹사이트 구축 문제는 기업이나 조직의 중요한 새로운 마케팅 창구로서의 역할 때문에 그 중요성을 인식하고 효과적 디자인을 기반한 사이트구축이 이슈화 되었다. 그리하여 성공적인 인터넷 비즈니스를 위한 웹사이트의 구축 방법론이나 가이드라인의 연구가 필요하게 되며, 최근 소비자의 행동을 분석하여 이를 소비자 구매욕구를 증진시키는 방안으로 활용하여 전략적인 웹사이트를 구축하도록 제시하는 많은 연구들이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 전략적인 관점에서 웹사이트를 구축하거나 이미 구축된 웹사이트를 전략적 관점에서 개편하려고 할 때 사용될 수 있는 뚜렷한 방법론이 존재하지 않기 때문에 이런 관점의 분석모형이 절대적으로 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전략 형성과정에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 FCM(Fuzzy Cognitive Map)을 소개하고 이를 바탕으로 보다 구체적인 웹사이트 디자인 요소를 분석, 평가 할 수있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 FCM기반의 분석은 웹사이트의 성공요인들로 꼽히는 요인들간의 인과관계를 고려하여 웹사이트 구축의 요인간의 영향력의 민감도 분석을 할 수 있는 접근법으로서의 활용도가 기대된다.

Science teachers need to understand what science is, how students learn, how to teach science effectively, and the rationale for their teaching methods. Along this line, this article discusses constructivist learning theory as an alternative to the traditional pedagogy and the origin of various versions of constructivism. Constructivism is defined and used in a variety of contexts including philosophical constructivism, constructivist research paradigm, sociological constructivism, and educational constructivism. Educational constructivism (or psychological constructivism) can be divided into three distinct versions (i.e., individual, radical, and social constructivism) depending on unique ontological and epistemological beliefs that underlie each version. Each version of educational constructivism supports different conceptions of science teaching and learning that are consistent with its specific ontological and epistemological beliefs. In this article, the main tenets of each version of educational constructivism are examined with regard to ontological beliefs, epistemological commitments, and pedagogical beliefs. In addition, two major criticisms on constructivist pedagogy as well as implications for research methods for each version are also discussed.

In order to understand the whole picture of virtue epistemology with knowledge-action theory, I will first examine contours between concepts like capacity, character and intellectual virtues in relation to the notion of virtue. At first, my $na{\ddot{i}}ve$ question is why smart people do such bad things without any shame. This question would be either ethical or epistemological because epistemology is viewed as a normative discipline and intellectual agents and communities should be considered as the primary focus of epistemic evaluation. This is the core idea of virtue epistemology. The stance virtue epistemology views virtues as a solution to the justification of knowledge is similar to the knowledge-action theory in the East Asian intellectual tradition. But, their core issues are different from each other. Thus, I will explain how to differ from one another and analyze such concepts as capacity, character, and intellectual virtues in the Analects. I will insist that capacity and character without normative disciplines cannot be intellectual virtues leading to right actions.

There have been many discussions of models in mathematics education. Although there has been some agreement regarding the importance of clarifying perspectives on the concept and didactic significance of models, there is still no clear consensus on these issues. This study examines articles focused on models in mathematics education in order to clarify theoretical perspectives on models in the research community. The results of this study show that there are three perspectives on models in mathematics education and that these perspectives are closely related to researchers' ontological stances on mathematical knowledge and interpretations of the epistemological role of the model.

The purpose of this study is on the Shera's sociological aspect of librarianship. Jesse H. Shera, educator, philosopher, and theoretician, considered that perhaps his most significant contribution to librarianship was not a “thing” but a “concept”. Library was created to meet certain social necessities, and that its development is closely related not only to intellectual history but also to change in the organizational structure and the value system of its supporting culture. It is axiomatic, then, that the library as a social instrumentality. is, as it has always been, conditioned and shaped by the social milieu within which it function. Therefore we are concerned with the need for a new epistemological discipline, a body of new about knowledge itself.

We investigate what kind of logic is used in the ancient East Asian mathematics from their philosophical viewpoints. Such viewpoints are the logic by Mozi and the epistemology by Xun zi. We conclude that the logic residng in the ancient East Asian mathematics is surely existent and that the logic is the mathematics itself.

This paper considers the relationship between ethics and archives by asking the question "who is the archivist?". Aside from this, the researcher also emphasized the following theses. First, archival science should search for ethics as a discourse and not just the Code of Ethics. Second, an archivist should state his/her view in their archives field. Third, archival science should search for both personal and practical knowledge. Aside from these, this article argues also that an epistemological approach is necessary for ethics.

The philosophy of science of Bachelard is introduced mainly with epistemological obstacles in the discussions within mathematics education. In his philosophy, epistemological obstacles are connected with the dialectical developments of science. Science progresses through generalization of concepts and theories by negating things which were recognized as obvious. These processes start with ruptures against the existing knowledge. Epistemological obstacles are failure in keeping distance with the existing knowledge when reorganization is needed. This concept means that there are the inherent difficulties in the processes of concept formation. Finally I compare the view of Bachelard on the developments of science and the 'interiorization-condensation-objectification' scheme of reflexive abstraction in mathematics education and discuss the inherent difficulties in the learning mathematics.
