This qualitative study investigated preservice teachers' understandings of the ontology and epistemology underlying constructivist notions of learning through four in-depth interviews. Of the sixteen participants in a larger study, five significantly changed ontological and epistemological beliefs and eleven did not. This study focused on these eleven teachers who have hardly changed their philosophical beliefs throughout the teacher education program. Ten teachers who consistently maintained the scientific realist beliefs were presented as a composite case (Young's case). Among the eleven teachers, there was one outlier who had consistently maintained an idealist and relativist epistemological position from the beginning of the study and was subjected to another case analysis (Ben's case). These cases corroborated the assertion that each individual's deeply entrenched ontological and epistemological beliefs are very hard to change. For researchers, this study offers insights into the reasons that preservice teachers give for non-changes in their thinking about learning to teach. The study also examines preservice teachers' perceived constraints in implementing their ideal pedagogies and the influence of the teacher education program on their pedagogical beliefs changes. The benefits and influences of the M.Ed. program's theoretical coursework and the field experiences on these teachers' learning-to-teach experiences are addressed with rich data. The implications for teacher educators as well as for the instructional practices of preservice teacher education programs are discussed. This research emphasize necessity of the field-based teacher education program and the need of empowering experienced school teachers as teacher educators in teacher preparation and professional development.

우리나라 선원은 해방기 이후 외화가득의 주역이며 비상시 군수물자를 운송할 수 있는 사회경제적으로 가치 있는 직업이나 최근 선원 직업의 사회적 인식이 다소 부정적이고, 예전처럼 젊은 선원의 유입이 높지 않은 편이다. 본 연구는 일반 대중을 대상으로 Q 방법론을 활용하여 선원의 직업을 어떻게 인식하는지 그 이미지 유형과 특성을 분석하였다. Q 방법론에 의한 선원 직업 이미지 인식은 3개 유형으로 분류되었고 우리나라 선원에 대한 대중의 인식은 부정적이였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 해운산업의 핵심 인적자원인 선원의 안정적으로 확보하고 선원 종사자들의 직업적 만족도와 취업률을 높이기 위해서는 대중들이 인식한 선원의 부정적 직업 이미지를 전환할 수 있는 다양한 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다.

Recently, the computer aided learning system has promoted a new educational concept and education system. The purpose of this study is to construct a theoretical model for the epistemic frame and evaluation tool which is emphasized according to the 21st century. Specifically, first, this study conducted a domain analysis of epistemic frame. Second, this study developed an evaluation tool to measure epistemic frame. Finally, the evaluation tool is examined in terms of validity and reliability using factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha. As a result, the theoretical model was presented through the consultation of the Advisory Group and the evaluation tool was empirically validated. We expect that this study will provide a useful information to researchers and practitioners who want to develop a computer based learning tool for learning epistemic frame.

This study investigated the change of pre-service science teachers' epistemological views of education according to the stages of the field education programs application. For this study, surveys and interviews were carried out threes times before and after participation through participant observation of classes and teaching practices. All data recorded and collected of 28 pre-service science teachers who had answered entire surveys were transcribed and analyzed. The conclusion is as follows; before the participant observation of classes, the pre-service science teachers had views of traditional education affected by epistemology of objectivism. After the participant observation of classes, the views of traditional education increased due to in-service teachers that showed teaching methods through the course of the participant observation. However, it was changed significantly into the views of modern education affected by epistemology of constructivism through the course of the teaching practices. Based on the conclusions of this study, it was identified that the field education programs might have both positive and negative influence on the change of the views of education for the pre-service science teachers. Therefore, Pre-service science teachers should have a opportunity to intensify of constructivism epistemological views of education through the field education programs. The teacher training institutions have to provide systematic and organic cooperation with schools.

The Government Informatization Policy Plan represents the government's technology policy vision and a set of ICT policy agenda and initiatives for the tenure of the government. The Policy Plan, however, normally produces an excess of disconcerted and superfluous ICT policy proposals from various policy units in the government. To cope with the superficiality of the ICT policy set in the Policy Plan, this paper proposes an analysis of the epistemology of the policy set. A policy is constructed as an argument and the structure of the policy argument is analysed using a model of argumentation. The findings show that the present informatization policy is driven by three epistemological motives - the production, consumption, and performance of the ICT Technology. The various assumptions and premises that underlie and direct the generation of ICT policy arguments with different motives are idenfied and then are exposed to strong rebuttal arguments to evaluate their epistemological tenability. The policy implications of the epistemological analysis are discussed in the end.

Korean students have shown high achievements on the cognitive domain of mathematics in a range of international assessment tests. On the affective domain, however, significantly low achievements have been reported. Among the factors in the affective domain, this article discusses on the value of mathematics in the perspective of Michael Polanyi's philosophy, which centers personal knowledge and tacit knowing. Polanyi emphasizes abstractness and generalization in mathematics accompanied by intellectual beauty and passion. In his perspective, therefore, utilitarian aspects and usefulness of mathematics imparted through linguistic representations have limits in motivating students to learn mathematics. Students must be motivated from recognition of the value of mathematics formed through participating authentic mathematical problem solving activity with immersion, tension, confusion, passion, joy and the like.

To describe mathematics learning relying on a priori assumptions about the learners has a risk of assuming the learners as well-prepared subjects. In this study we investigate the epistemological perspective of Gilles Deleuze which is expected to give overcome this risk. Then we analyze the constructivist's epistemology and prior discussions about learning mathematics in the preceding studies accordingly. As a result, a priori assumption on which students are regarded as well-prepared for learning mathematics is reconsidered and we propose a new model of thought to highlight the involuntary aspect of the occurrence of thinking facilitated by the encounter with mathematical signs. This perspective gives a new vision on involuntary aspects of mathematics learning and the learner's confusion or difficulty at the starting point of learning.

In this study, we investigated the influences of the epistemological beliefs on the conceptual change processes in respects of cognitive conflict, situational interest, attention and state learning strategies. After administering epistemological belief questionnaire as a pretest, 218 seventh graders possessing misconceptions about density were selected from the results of a preconception test. The questionnaires of responses to a discrepant event and situational interest were administered. After learning with a CAI program, attention test, state learning strategy test and conception test were also administered as post-tests. Analysis of the results revealed that fixed ability, quick learning and certain knowledge, which are epistemological factors, were highly related, but only certain knowledge exerted a direct effect on conceptual understanding negatively. It also had positive effects on attention directly as well as via situational interest, and thus increased conceptual understanding, even if the effects were relatively smaller than the direct effect. However, epistemological beliefs had little influence on conceptual understanding through cognitive conflict and/or state learning strategies.

It is well-known that the face recognition method via sparse representation has been proved very robust and showed good performance. Its weakness is, however, that its time complexity is very high because it should solve $L_1$-minimization problem to find the sparse solution. In this paper, we propose to use the ROMP(Regularized Orthogonal Matching Pursuit) method for the sparse solution, which solves the $L_2$-minimization problem with regularization condition using the greed strategy. In experiments, we shows that the proposed method is comparable to the existing best $L_1$-minimization solver, Homotopy, but is 60 times faster than Homotopy. Also, we proposed C-SCI method for classification. The C-SCI method is very effective since it considers the sparse solution only without reconstructing the test data. It is shown that the C-SCI method is comparable to, but is 5 times faster than the existing best classification method.

Sequence to sequence(S2S) 기반 음성인식 후처리기를 훈련하기 위한 학습 데이터 구축을 위해 (음성인식 결과(speech recognition sentence), 전사자(phonetic transcriptor)가 수정한 문장(Human post edit sentence))의 병렬 말뭉치가 필요하며 이를 위해 많은 노동력(human-labor)이 소요된다. BackTranScription (BTS)이란 기존 S2S기반 음성인식 후처리기의 한계점을 완화하기 위해 제안된 데이터 구축 방법론이며 Text-To-Speech(TTS)와 Speech-To-Text(STT) 기술을 결합하여 pseudo 병렬 말뭉치를 생성하는 기술을 의미한다. 해당 방법론은 전사자의 역할을 없애고 방대한 양의 학습 데이터를 자동으로 생성할 수 있기에 데이터 구축에 있어서 시간과 비용을 단축 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 BTS를 바탕으로 제주어 도메인에 특화된 음성인식 후처리기의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 모델 수정(model modification)을 통해 성능을 향상시키는 모델 중심 접근(model-centric) 방법론과 모델 수정 없이 데이터의 양과 질을 고려하여 성능을 향상시키는 데이터 중심 접근(data-centric) 방법론에 대한 비교 분석을 진행하였다. 실험결과 모델 교정없이 데이터 중심 접근 방법론을 적용하는 것이 성능 향상에 더 도움이 됨을 알 수 있었으며 모델 중심 접근 방법론의 부정적 측면 (negative result)에 대해서 분석을 진행하였다.
