초록

본 연구는 구성주의 학습이론의 기초를 이루는 존재론 및 인식론적 신념 등의 철학적 근거에 대한 예비 과학교사들의 이해력을 조사한 것이다. 본 연구의 예비 과학교사들이 참가한 교사양성 프로그램은 구성주의에 대한 다양한 관점들과 일관된 철학적 개념들을 명시적으로 논의 및 검토하였다. 본 교사양성 프로그램은 예비 교사들이 지닌 존재론 및 인식론적 신념들이 과학교사로서의 역할에 주는 시사점에 대하여 반성적으로 생각해 볼 기회를 제공하였다. 4회의 심충 인터뷰를 통하여 얻어진 자료는 각 예비 교사들의 존재론, 인식론 및 교수론적 신념에 있어서의 변화를 추적하는데 사용되었다. 연구결과는 이들 예비 교사들의 존재론 및 인식론적 신념들이 그들의 과학 교수${\cdot}$학습관과 반드시 일치하는 것은 아니라는 것을 보여준다. 어떤 예비 교사들은 관념론과 상대주의자의 관점을 내면화하였지만 그들은 이러한 상대주의 인식론적 관점을 그들의 수업의 실제상황 속으로 통합하고 있지는 않았다. 또한 오류 가능성이 있고 잠정적인 과학 지식의 본성 측면에 있어서는, 본 연구에 참여한 예비 교사들이 지니고 있던 인식론적 신념이 그들의 과학수업에서 교사로서의 역할에 직접적으로 영향을 미치고 있었다. 본 연구결과가 교사양성 프로그램 및 예비 교사들의 철학적 신념변화에 주는 시사점도 논의되었다.

This study investigated preservice science teachers' understandings of philosophical foundations(i.e., ontological and epistemological beliefs) underlying constructivist notions of learning. The teacher education program these subjects participated in explicitly addressed philosophical notions consistent with different views of constructivism. For these preservice science teachers, the program provided them with the opportunity to reflect upon the implications that their ontological and epistemological commitments had for their role as a science teacher. Data from four in-depth interviews were used to explore changes in each preservice science teacher's ontological beliefs, epistemological commitments, and pedagogical preferences. Results indicated that ontological beliefs and epistemological commitments were not necessarily consistent with conceptions of science teaching and learning for these preservice teachers. While some students internalized idealist and relativist perspectives, they did not integrate these relativist epistemological views into their preferred instructional practices. Also, regarding the fallible and tentative nature of knowledge, data in this study indicated that participants' epistemological beliefs about scientific Knowledge did influence how they were thinking about their roles as science teachers. Implications for teacher education programs and research on preservice science teacher's philosophical beliefs are discussed.
