Jeromes Bruner's learning theory is considered to have come from a challenge of Russian scientific deveopment (Sputnic) and accordingly re-evaluation of John Dewey's theory.
The writers reviewed the backgrounds, theorotical foundation and the limits of his theory in comparison with those of John Dewey's theory.
Dewey emphasized empiricism on the foundation of pragmatism, while Bruner based his theory on the structure of knowledge from the standpoint of realism, especially neo-realism.
Bruner regards knowledge as close inquiry of entity which lies in the object of study, but Dewey think knowledge as a result of learning by doing.
Bruner viewed an instruction on the basis of learning about learning.
He also insits on a branch curriculum or a spiral curriculum.
He is confident of the unnecessity of readiness basing on the theory of Piaget's child development.
He claims intrinsic motivation and transfer by structure in stead of traditional, extrinsic compensation in learning situation.
There are a lots of points to be noted in his theory, but due consideration must be given before it is accepted in this society.
