이 연구는 전통적 교사교육기관의 한 강좌에서 구성주의 교육의 원리에 따라 교사학습자들의 교육에 대한 신념을 변화시킨 사례를 다루고 있다. 구성주의 교사교육에 의하면 교사학습자들은 교육에 대한 신념을 갖고 있고, 이 신념은 그들의 교육활동에 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 교사학습자들이 갖고 있는 신념에 영향을 미치지 못하는 교사교육은 실패로 끝날 확률이 높다. 이 연구는 교사학습자들이 갖고 있는 신념은 무엇인지, 구성주의 교육활동을 통해 그 신념을 해체하여 보다 나은 신념을 재구성하는 과정은 어떻게 이루어질 수 있는지, 그리고 그 결과 이전의 신념은 어떻게 변했는가를 탐색하였다.
This case study reports the process and results of constructivist teacher education program which aims to change the educational beliefs of teacher-learners. The researchers of constructivist teacher education have insisted that the educational beliefs be consisted of the perspective, premise, value of education, and it affects the educational activity of its owner. Therefore if the teacher-educator do not change the educational beliefs of teacher-learner, it is impossible to achieve the end of teacher education. Under this theoretical rational, I intended the change of educational beliefs of teacher-learners in the course offered in the one of the traditional institutes of teacher education. The process of constructivist teacher education program was divided in three major parts. The first part of it was to grasp the educational beliefs of teacher-learners who had participated in a course. I drew out the beliefs of education which the teacher-learners had by means of the concept map, metaphor, and learning log. The second part was the constructivist educational activities which aimed at the reconstruction of the beliefs of education. The constructivist educational activities had consisted of constructivist teaching activities, constructivist learning activities, cooperative learning, and self-evaluation of teacher-learners. The third part was the extent of change in the beliefs of education. I seized the change of beliefs of teacher-learners by means of the concept map, learning log, self-evaluation report, and the course evaluation questionnaire of the institutes of teacher education.
