In this study, we investigated the relationships among elementary school teachers' perceptions of constructivist science assessment, views on science teaching and learning, science teaching efficacy belief, and the perceptions of constructivist science learning environment. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to validate the factor structure of the perceptions of constructivist science assessment test. The test consisting of 3 factors with 21 questions in the previous research was reconstructed as one consisting of 2 factors with 22 questions as a result of the factor analysis. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was also conducted to predict the explanatory powers of the variables on perceptions of constructivist science assessment. The results indicated that the perceptions of constructivist science learning environment, views on constructivist science teaching and learning, and personal science teaching efficacy belief were the significant predictors of the perceptions of constructivist science assessment.

Although constructivist assessment has been emphasized by many science educators, most elementary school teachers are still not familiar with this. In order to investigate the causes of this problem, we examined the perceptions of pre-service elementary school teachers toward constructivist science assessment and the relationships among the perceptions toward constructivist science assessment, the views on science teaching and learning, science teaching efficacy beliefs, and the perceptions toward constructivist science learning environment. Analyses of the results revealed that the perceptions of pre-service elementary school teachers toward constructivist science assessment were higher than those of the elementary school teachers reported previously. The results of a stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that the views on constructivist science teaching and learning and personal science teaching efficacy beliefs were the significant predictors of the perceptions toward constructivist science assessment.

본 연구는 제 7차 교육과정이 도입되면서 수학교육에서 중요성이 증가하고 있는 구성주의 교수 학습 모형을 초등 수학영재 교육 프로그램에 적용한 결과를 분석한 것이다. 일반적으로, 영재들은 활발한 의사소통을 통하여 더 많은 지식을 구성해 나갈 수 있으며 또한 왕성한 호기심으로 스스로 문제를 해결하고 원리를 발견하고자 하는 욕구가 크다. 영재들의 이러한 특성을 살려 서로간의 의사소통과 합의를 통하여 보편적인 지식을 구성해가는, 사회적 구성주의를 그 이론적 배경으로 하고 있는 수업 모형을 바탕으로 개인적인 원리를 구성하고 발표와 질문을 통해 오류를 수정하여 보편적인 수학적 원리를 찾아가는 방식으로, 네트워크 문제와 관련된 3가지의 주제를 중심으로 구성주의 교수.학습 모형을 적용하여 학생들의 알고리즘적 사고 능력이 어느 정도인가를 분석하였다.

Teachers' conception about the nature of science is considered to be an important factor to improve the students' conceptions of that. It is assumed that teachers' conception of the nature of science may be influenced by their views of learning. The first purpose of this study was to investigate the exploratory relationships between teachers' conceptions about the nature of science and their views of learning. The second one was to compare the their conceptions and views of learning before and after science education lectures during 1 semester. We administered the questionnaires for the nature of science and for constructivist's learning, respectively, consisted of 5 dimensions (relativism-positivism; inductivism- deductivism; decontextualism-contextualism; content-process; instrumentalism-realism) and of 6 aspects (student; learning; instruction; teacher; curriculum; evaluations) were administered to 57 pre-service elementary teachers (female=44; male=13) before and after lectures. In pre-test it was revealed that respondents had not the consistent conceptions about the nature of science. The conception of relativism was more dominant than those of positivism, deductivism than inductivism, decontextualism than contextualism, process than content and instrumentalism than realism. They had more constructivist views in the respect of process of learning than in other respects, that is, students, instruction, teacher, curriculum and evaluation. But no significant correlations between the dimensions of the nature of science and the aspects of the views of learning suggest that constructivst views of learning was not deeply related with their conceptions of the nature of science. In post-test we had similar results with those of the pre-test, but the process-content dimensions of the nature of science was correlated with the constuctivist views of learning. Therefore we concluded that elementary pre-service teachers had the constructivist views of learning which was isolated with their conceptions of the nature of science although they had science educations course. We need to develop the course to make the conceptions of the nature of science relate view of learning.

This Qualitative study investigated a preservice teacher's developing views of learning with the influence of constructivist epistemology taught in the Math, Science, and Technology Education (MSAT) Master of Education (M. Ed.) preservice teacher education program. The MSAT teacher education program employs constructivist aspects of teacher education and generates applications of constructivism to the practice of teaching, as revealed by faculty interview data. It is important at this point to emphasize that there are significant epistemological and ontological differences between different versions of educational constructivism (i.e., individual, radical, and social constructivism) and that these differences imply different pedagogical practices. For the 16 preservice teachers included in a larger study, the epistemological and ontological characteristics for each teacher's developing views of learning were identified through four in-depth interviews. Data from interviews were used to construct a constructivist profile for each preservice teacher's views of learning (i.e., a profile containing ontological beliefs, epistemological commitments, and pedagogical beliefs). Of the sixteen participants in the larger study, five significantly changed ontological and epistemological beliefs and eleven did not. Profile changes for the five who did change also resulted in changes in their conceptions of science teaching and learning (CSTL). In this article, one of the five teachers case was presented with rich quotes. This case study documents how a preservice teacher transferred his ontological and epistemological beliefs to his pedagogical beliefs and maintained the consistency between his philosophical beliefs and CSTL. It also demonstrated implications that changes in components for an educational constructivist profile have for a preservice teacher's view of himself as teacher. Data indicated the possibility that a constructivist-oriented preservice teacher education program can influence students' conceptions of science teaching and learning by explicitly introducing constructivism as an epistemology rather than as a specific method of instruction. Implications for both instructional practices of teacher education programmes and research are discussed.

The purposes of this research were as follows : (1) to investigate the effectiveness of the program for elementary preservice teachers, which was designed to develop postmodern views of science and constructivist views of teaming and teaching and (2) to find out the relation between students' learning approaches and their beliefs about science and school science. One hundred and forty three students enrolled in Science Education 11 in the University of Education participaled in the study. Students' beliefs of science and school science was not changed after treatment of the program. But they showed postmodern views of science and school science in comparison with the science teacher. Additionally the results showed that meaningful learners showed the constructivist view about school science as compared with the rote learners.

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.

Science teachers' beliefs about science and school science and their perceptions of the science laboratory learning environment were investigated with an assumption that science laboratory teaching would be affected by science teachers' beliefs. Likert-scale questionnaires of BASSSQ and SLEI were used in this study. The major findings were as follows: 1. Science teachers showed inconsistent beliefs about science and school science. Their responses reflected a patch-like view of postmodern epistemology and objectivism They also showed somewhat different views about science and school science. It was found that science teachers had strong objectivist views about science in some parts. but they had moderate constructivist views about school science in other parts; 2. The mean scores of student cohesiveness, integration. and rule clarity on the actual version in SLEl were relatively high, but those of open-endedness and physical environment were very low; 3. There was no association between teachers' beliefs about science and their perceptions of the science laboratory learning environment. But some associations were found between teachers' beliefs about school science and their perception on student cohesiveness, integration, and rule clarity of the actual science laboratory learning environment. Teachers' beliefs about school science had some statistically significant correlations with their perceptions on all scales of the preferred version of SLEI. We could not show a causal relationship between teachers' beliefs and their science laboratory learning environment through these results. But it can be suggested that teachers' beliefs about school science do have a role in constructing a desirable science laboratory learning environment, as we found that there were statistically significant correlations between them.

A comparison of mathematics teachers' personal beliefs between in- and pre-service teachers for Chinese secondary schools (grades 7-12) about mathematics theories, teaching and learning has been studied. In-service teachers' beliefs are close to constructivist's aspect and pre-service teachers' beliefs are close to absolutist's views. Based on the results, we give some suggestions to both teacher education and in-service teachers' training.

본 연구는 구성주의에 기반한 모의수업 활동 후 예비 생물교사들의 인식론적 신념, 과학 교수 효능감, 그리고 교수동기에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 예비 생물교사들은 과학교수 개혁안의 목표를 반영하고 있는지 보기 위한 평가척도인 RTOP을 토대로 수업을 구상하고 시연하도록 하였으며, 동료평가의 기회를 가졌다. 수업처치 후 예비 생물교사들은 지식의 단순성 영역에서 인식론적 신념이 향상되었으며(p<.05), 과학 교수 효능감 또한 향상되었다(p<.01). 교수동기에 있어서 예비 생물교사들은 외재적 교수 동기는 감소하였으나(p<.05) 내재적 교수 동기는 증가하지 않았다(p>.05). 또한 피어슨 상관관계 결과, 과학 교수 자기 효능감과 외재적 동기는 부적 상관 관계를 나타냈다(p<.05). 구성주의를 강조한 모의수업 활동 후 학생들은 이상적인 과학수업과 과학교사의 자질로 탐구, 토론 및 참여라는 단어를 선택하여, 본 연구에서의 수업처치를 통해 예비 교사들은 구성주의가 지향하는 교수학습 방법을 인식하는데 도움이 되었다고 판단된다.
