This study examined the effects of constructivist educational beliefs and self-regulated learning skills of children on teacher professional development. The study was conducted by sampling 273 teachers. Three kinds of variables, which included constructivist educational beliefs, self-regulated learning ability, and professional development level were measured and analyzed for this study. The results were as follows. First, early childhood teachers beliefs of constructivist education, self-regulated learning ability and professional development were found to be higher than average. Second, the professional development of early childhood teachers is shown to be correlated with constructivist educational beliefs and self-regulated learning ability. When constructivist educational beliefs and self-regulated learning ability scores increases, the professional development score is high. Third, metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies and constructivist educational beliefs are factors that predict the professional development of early childhood teachers. According to results of this study, it suggests that constructivist educational beliefs and self-regulated learning ability are important factors to be addressed.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of early childhood teacher's constructivist educational beliefs and teaching efficacy on creative teaching behavior. Methods: The subjects of this study were 262 early childhood teachers working in daycare centers and kindergartens all over the country. A questionnaire was administered which assessed early childhood teacher's constructivist educational beliefs, teaching efficacy, and creative teaching behavior. SPSS 28.0 was used for data analysis. Results: First, the constructivist educational beliefs of early childhood teachers had a positive effect on teaching efficacy. Second, it was found that early childhood teachers' constructivist educational beliefs and teaching efficacy had a positive effect on creative teaching behavior, and at the same time, early childhood teachers' constructivist educational beliefs were partially mediated by teaching efficacy. Conclusion/Implications: This study revealed the mediating effects of teaching efficacy in constructivist educational beliefs and creative teaching behavior relationships. Therefore, in order to promote creative teaching behavior of early childhood teachers, efforts should be made to increase teaching efficacy based on constructivist educational beliefs.

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.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the influences of constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes on early childhood teachers' mathematics teaching efficacy. This study also examined the mediating effect of eco-friendly attitudes on the relationship between the other two variables. Methods: A total of 399 teachers teaching 3,4 and 5-year-olds in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon participated in this study. The data were analyzed using the SPSS Win 21.0 program and the Sobel test. Results: First, mathematical teaching efficacy of early childhood teachers was significantly correlated with constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes. Second, with teacher's career as the control variable, constructivist educational beliefs have more influence in mathematical teaching efficacy than the other variable. Third, eco-friendly teaching attitude partially mediated between the other two variables. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study imply that constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes are important factors on mathematics teaching efficacy. It is expected that it will be used as basic data for various programs that increase constructivist educational beliefs and eco-friendly teaching attitudes.

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.

This study investigated preservice teachers' perceived constraints in implementing their ideal pedagogies and the influence of the teacher education program on their pedagogical beliefs changes. Unique features that the university-based coursework and field experiences had on preservice teachers' learning to teach were also explored. This preservice teacher education program employs constructivist aspects of teacher education and generates applications of constructivism to the practice of teaching. Major findings include: preservice teachers' having traditional pedagogy as the default, recovery of prior beliefs, constraints on implementing constructivist pedagogy, and being overly confident in themselves as teachers. With the influence of constructivist epistemology, these preservice teachers' pedagogical beliefs evolved and were refined over time as they incorporated various constructivist ideas. 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. Recommendations for future research are also presented.

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.

과학교사들은 과학에 대하여, 학습자의 학습방법에 대하여, 과학을 가르치기 위한 효과적인 교수방법에 대하여 알아야 할 뿐만 아니라, 그들이 취하고 있는 교수방법이 배경하고 있는 이론적 근거(rationale)를 이해해야만 한다. 이러한 이유로 본 글에서는 전통적 교수/학습관에 대한 대안으로 제시되고 있는 구성주의 학습관, 나아가 다양한 형태의 구성주의의 유래를 논의하였다. 과학교육에서 구성주의는 철학적 구성주의, 구성주의 연구 패러다임, 사회학적 구성주의 및 교육학적 구성주의 등 여러 가지 의미로 광범위한 상황들에서 사용되고 있다. 이 가운데 교육학적(또는 심리학적) 구성주의는 각 형태가 취하고 있는 존재론적, 인식론적 신념에 따라 다시 개인적 구성주의, 급진적 구성주의 및 사회적 구성주의의 세 가지 유형으로 나누어진다. 나아가, 각 교육학적 구성주의는 각각이 취하고 있는 존재론 및 인식론적 관점에 바탕하고 다른 교수/학습관을 지지하고 있다. 이에 본고에서는 각각의 교육학적 구성주의가 채택하고 있는 존재론적, 인식론적, 과학교수/학습적 관점을 논의한다. 끝으로 구성주의 교수/학습관에 대한 두 가지의 주된 비판에 대하여 살펴보고, 각 형태의 교육학적 구성주의가 취하고 있는 연구방법에 대한 시사점도 간단히 제시한다.
