The purpose of this study was to criticize the problem of disconnect between teachers and students (as passive beings), and disconnect between curriculum and real life in current school classes, and to suggest an alternative to the current approach following Bruner's narrative idea.
As the cause of this problem, it is pointed out that rationality has been overemphasized as a principle in curriculum construction, and Bruner's narrative is presented as the alternative.
Narrative as culturalism suggests a new epistemological perspective in which human experienceis constituted within culture, and as a narrative, instruction has the potential to help students develop a growth mindset, generate knowledge, and construct a narrative self. When reorganizing school classes based on these narratives, a new approach called "narrative pedagogy" can be created, suggesting the possibility of more positively reinterpreting the problems of school subjects, student thought, and experiences pointed out as criticisms of existing classroom instruction. For the above discussion, ampliative criticism, one of Short’s (1991) philosophical inquiry methods, is used.
