Abstract	This review explores Ben-Zvi Assaraf, Eshach, Orion, and Alamour’s paper titled “Cultural Differences and Students’ Spontaneous Models of the Water Cycle: A Case Study of Jewish and Bedouin Children in Israel” by examining how the authors use the concept of spontaneous mental models to explain cultural knowledge source of Bedouin children’s mental model of water compared to Jewish children’s mental model of water in nature. My response to Ben-Zvi Assaraf et al.’s work expands upon their explanations of the Bedouin children’s cultural knowledge source. Bedouin children’s mental model is based on their culture, religion, place of living and everyday life practices related to water. I suggest a different knowledge source for spontaneous mental model of water in nature based on unique history and traditions of South Korea where people think of water in nature in different ways. This forum also addresses how western science dominates South Korean science curriculum and ways of assessing students’ conceptual understanding of scientific concepts. Additionally I argue that western science curriculum models could diminish Korean students’ understanding of natural world which are based on Korean cultural ways of thinking about the natural world. Finally, I also suggest two different ways of considering this unique knowledge source for a more culturally relevant teaching Earth system education.이 논평은 Ben Zvi Assaraf et al. 의 연구 “문화적 차이와 학생들의 물의 순환에 대한 개념 (자발적 인지 모델) : 이스라엘 유대와 베두인 학생의 사례” 에 대한 제고 이다. 본 논평은 Ben Zvi Assaraf et al.이 제시한 자발적 인지 모델과 이에 대한 지식 원천에 근거하여 지식 원천의 정의를 더 광범위하게 설정하는데 의미를 두었다. 다시 말해, 본 논평은 Ben-Zvi Assaraf et al. 이 제시한 자발적 인지 모델의 지식 원천에 대한 제안을 한국의 독특한 역사와 전통적 사고 방식을 예로 들어 그 내용의 범위를 확장 하고, 그 의미를 제고 하는데 중점을 두었다. 본 논평은 또한 서구 과학 지식에 근거한 현행 교육과정이 어떻게 한국 과학 교육 과정과 학생들의 지식 평가에서 지배적인 영향을 미치고 있는지에 대해 한국의 톡특한 역사적 상황에서 기술 하였다. 본 논평은 이러한 한국의 독특한 교육 상황이 한국 학생들이 가지고 있는 자연 현상에 대한 전통적인 사고를 감소시키는 요인으로 작용 하는지에 대해서도 언급 하고 있다. 마지막으로 전통적, 문화적인 지식 원천이 어떻게 과학 교수와 학습에 적용될 수 있는지에 대해 두 가지 측면에서 제안 하고 있다.
