Science education has been in a state of crisis for some time. To understand the science teacher's role, it is helpful to reconsider an aspect as fundamental as the nature of science. Since teaching cannot be separated from learning and knowledge, their very close dynamic processes need to prescribe the role of the teacher and student simultaneously. However, traditional views are limited because they tend to emphasize some particular selected aspect of learning and teaching. This paper investigates the epistemology of Michael Polanyi (1891 1976), which is often considered to transcend the confrontation between objectivity and subjectivity of knowledge. Polanyi reconceptualized science knowledge as 'personal knowledge' based on his own experience as a scientist and a thinker. In this study, I discuss 1) the nature of science in light of Polanyi's epistemology, 2) what this says about the meaning of science learning and teaching, 3) the potential of these ideas for the role of the science teacher.

본 연구의 목적은 폴라니의 개인적 지식을 중심으로 과학지식의 객관성을 고찰하고, 이의 과학교육적 함의를 논의하는 것이다. 따라서 이론적 연구이며, 주로 문헌자료에 의존하였다. 현대 인식론은 지식의 객관성과 상대성에 대한 견해가 혼재해 있으며, 특히 과학교육의 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 지식의 객관성에 대한 재해석이 필요하다. 이에 과학지식의 객관성에 대한 과학철학자들의 견해를 살펴보고, 객관성을 주관성과 관련시켜 지식의 성격을 이해한 칸트, 왕양명, 키에르케고르의 사상을 교육과 관련지어 간단히 고찰하였다. 나아가 폴라니의 인식론을 중심으로 과학지식에의 개인적 관여 및 공동체적 성격을 살펴보았다. 그리고 개인적 지식에서 시사하는 과학교육적 함의를 논의하면서, 과학교육에 인간의 목소리가 회복되며, 지적 열정이 살아있도록, 과학자의 삶을 재연하는 과학교사의 필요성을 논의하였다.

이 글에서는 20세기 과학철학자 마이클 폴라니 (Michael Polanyi)의 인식론에서 말하는 수학교육의 목적에 대하여 고찰하였다. 폴라니는 학문을 한다는 것은 진리탐구이고, 실재를 추구하는 것이라고 보았다. 또한 그는 소유자가 없는 지식은 존재할 수 없는 것으로 보면서 인간과 지식의 분리를 지양하였다. 그리고 언어로 표현될 수 있는 명시적 지식의 이변에 있는 암묵적 지식을 상정하고, 묵식을 초점식과 보조식의 관계로 설명하였다. 이러한 폴라니의 인식론에서 수학을 가르치고 배우는 일은 아름다움을 추구하는 것으로, 마음의 총체적 작용으로 인한 총체적 변화, 즉 심성함양이다. 수학을 배움으로 심성함양이 이루어지기 위해서는 기존의 수학적 지식 체계를 개인적 지식으로 습득하고, 명시적 수학적 지식 이면에 있는 암묵적 수학적 지식을 획득하여야 한다.

이 논문은 몸의 인식론을 고찰하고, 그것을 바탕으로 하는 기독교교육의 방향을 고찰한 논문이다. 본고는 메를로 퐁티, 다마지오, 넬슨의 몸의 인식론을 살펴보았는바, 이들은 철학과 뇌과학과 몸의 신학에서 각각 상이하게 연구하였지만, 모두 몸은 감각적이고 직접적 방법으로 세계를 인식하는 주체이며, 인간과 세계를 매개하는 통로가 되고, 인간의 자아형성에 결정적 역할을 한다고 보는 것에서 공통점을 가진다는 것을 발견하였다. 특별히 몸의 신학은 몸이 세상을 이해하는 통로가 되는 것과 마찬가지로 하나님을 이해하는 통로가 되며, 무엇보다 몸을 '하나님의 육화(embodiment of God)'의 자리로 봄으로써, 결국은 육화된 우리의 몸이 참여하는 세상 또한 '하나님의 육화'의 자리가 되어야 함을 밝혔다. 본고는 또한 그러한 몸의 인식론을 바탕으로 하는 기독교교육을 '감각으로부터 시작하는 교육', '참여로서의 교육', 그리고 '성육신적 교육'을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 이 세 개념으로부터 본고는 몸의 인식이 전통적 지식중심교육이나 학교식(schooling) 교육의 대안적 관점을 제시하는바, 교리중심, 객관적 지식의 매개, 언어중심, 교육내용중심의 고정되고 패쇄적 패러다임을 넘어서서, 감각과 경험, 인격적 참여, 비언어적 경험, 교육의장 중심의 개방적 패러다임을 제시한다는 것을 발견하였다. 더 나아가 몸은 교육에 관한 새로운 메타포를 발견할 수 있는 자리로서 추후적으로도 기독교교육을 재개념화하는 기초적 은유를 퍼 올릴 수 있는 우물과 같은 개념임을 발견하였다.

Generally mathematics is regarded as a subtle subject to grasp their true meaning. And teacher's personal conceptions of mathematics influence greatly on the teaching and learning of mathematics. More over often teachers confess their difficulties in explaining the true nature of mathematics. In this paper, applying the theory of epistemology, we tried to search factors that must be counted important when trying to understand the true nature of mathematics. As results, we identified five characteristics of mathematical knowledge such as logical reasoning, abstractive concept, mathematical representation, systematical structure, and axiomatic validation. Next, we tried to investigate math education major students' conception of mathematics using these items. To proceed this research we asked 51 students from three Universities to answer their opinion on 'What do you think is mathematics?'. Analysing their answers in the light of the above five items, we got the following facts. 1. Only 38% of the students regarded mathematics as one of the five items, which can be considered to reveal students' low concern about the basic nature of mathematics. 2. The status of students' responses to the question were greatly different among the three Universities. This shows that mathematics professors need to lead students to have concern about the true nature of mathematics.

Prior research has reported that student epistemological beliefs might affect their participation in learning and the process of conceptual change. The purposes of this study were to investigate the characteristics of sixth grade students epistemological beliefs about science and the relation between their epistemological beliefs about science and factors related their learning. For this research questions, 245 sixth grade students participated and various test instruments were used in this study. Students answered two types of questionnaires on epistemological beliefs about science and three test instruments on factors related students' learning(achievement in science, science inquiry skills, and cognitive levels). The results of this study were as follows. First, a large number of elementary school students believed that the purpose of science to perform activities like simple experiments. A lot of students believed that scientific knowledge was changeable according to the nature of scientific knowledge and that scientific knowledge could be learnt on their own. Also, many students believed experiment results to be basis on which to form personal scientific conceptions. Second, students who believed in more modern epistemology about science represented higher levels of science learning achievement, science inquiry skills, and cognitive levels. Therefore, when developing science curriculum, science educators need to consider how to develop student modern epistemological beliefs about science.

As the recent demand for human resources in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the development of professional STEM teacher is called worldwide. It is becoming a critical need in teacher education in order to educate student teachers, and prepare pre-service and beginning teachers for high quality of teaching competency. To promote the competency for $21^{st}$ century STEM teachers, the epistemology of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is currently considered as the essential qualities of knowledge for highly qualified teachers. The aim of this study is explore the effect of case-based learning approach on TPACK competency of pre-service STEM teachers. In order to develop the pre-service teachers' competency regarding effective integration of technologies into teaching specific content areas, a series of innovative case study teaching in science and mathematics was presented to 43 participants of pre-service physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and computer teachers during a course of information and communication technology (ICT) in Education at Khon Kaen University, Thailand. After finishing a case presentation, the pre-service teachers were encouraged into a forum of critical open discussion by considering the potential impact of the case and the TPACK framework. They were investigated instructional design competency of using ICT tools into student learning process and their personal beliefs about ICT in educational process both before and after. The participant's reactions and learning was evaluated by using a self-reported questionnaire and an implementation log of content-specific learning process design, respectively. Results showed a change of their beliefs and the transformation of their TPACK competency in STEM teaching. In an effort to better serve the needs of high quality STEM teachers, the results of this study illustrated that the competency of TPACK could be particularly considered as a core attributes for future STEM teachers. By the way, case-based learning approach can play an effective part in preparing and professing the TPACK competency for STEM teachers.

Over the last century, medical education in North America has evolved by identifying educational challenges within its own socio-cultural context and by appropriately responding to these challenges. A discipline-based curriculum, organ-system or integrated curriculum, problem-based curriculum, and competency-based curriculum are historical examples of the educational solutions that have been developed and refined to address specific educational challenges, such as students' lack of basic scientific knowledge, lack of integration between scientific knowledge and clinical practice, and lack of clinical practice. In contrast, Korean medical education has evolved with the influence of two forces: (1) the adoption of educational solutions developed in North America by pioneers who have identified urgent needs for medical education reform in Korea over the last three decades, and (2) the revitalization of Korean medical schools' curricula through medical education accreditation and national medical licensing examination. Despite this progressive evolution in Korean medical education, we contend that it faces two major challenges in order to advance to the next level. First, Korean medical education should identify its own problems in medical education and iteratively develop educational solutions within its own socio-cultural context. Secondly, to raise reflective doctors who have scientific knowledge and professional commitment to deal with different types of medical problems within a continuum from well-defined to ill-defined, medical education should develop innovative ways to provide students with a balanced spectrum of clinical problems, including uncertain, ill-defined problems.
