Recently writing researches are changing gradually in the abstract rather than in the concrete. Therefore this paper was written to criticize recent trends in the writing. In fact wilting research will take more concrete when it is based on the pedagogical point of view. Recent writing research has been more influenced the discourse of the humanities than pedagogical discourse, so writing researchers are more interested in exploration about the ideology and Meta-discourse relating to writing than exploration about writing education. For example, critical cultural studies and post-process movement shows the characteristic of writing research. Critical cultural studies expose dominant ideology including cultural discourse and make out alternative discourse. On the other kinds post process movement oppose to use systematic method and to introduce centered principle in writing research because of the impact of deconstruction. It also criticizes to explain the theory of writing process. In the basis of such arguments, philosophy of deconstruction of postmodern is the background. This paper is to present constructivism newly in order to overcome such as abstractness. Constructivism receives make meaning in text and communicates meaning between texts unlike post process movement. For this reason constructivism can make the direction of writing education positively in writing research. Therefore this paper will divide the theory of writing into theory-oriented paradigm and education oriented paradigm in order to vitalize writing education research. In addition, it will encourage education-oriented paradigm.
