배움의 공동체의 인식론적 배경탐구 = An inquiry into epistemological backgrounds of the Community of Learning

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this article, I attempt to inquire epistemological backgrounds of the community of learning which are popular in Korea as an education innovation model. The inquiry into epistemological backgrounds of the Community of Learning has been neglected not only in the discussion on the Community of Learning by Manabu Sato, a contemporary origin of its model, but also in the domestic research in which the perspective is applied to school cultures. Or it has been dealt at superficial levels. Such an inquiry is essential in the discussion on the Community of Learning, however, since it is related to new questions on the basics of the Community of learning, such as development, learning, and education, as well as on schools. To achieve this research goal, first I attempt to examine the perspective of Community of Learning in which all forms of learning, be it in school or in daily context, are defined as cultural practices. Based on such an examination, I introduce what is practice? and what is the community of practice?, in terms of Lave`s perspectives that stand up against those of the mainstream psychology on learning, development and cognition. Second, I deal with how important it is to re-consider school as community of practice using the perspective mentioned above. Such an attempt allows us to see the aspects of the school culture that aren`t easily visible, and to better articulate the problems that face the current schools. Third, I examine critically the traditional perspective on learning which is reproduced and maintained by the existing school as another community of practice which is different from the community of practice. Fourth, I discuss the significance of examining the notion of learning and research into the learning on the basis of Lave, Wenger and Saeki`s relevant perspective. Only after you inquire into the epistemological backgrounds of the Community of Learning will you be able to study and put into practice the community of learning in the real sense.
