Abstract

In this study, the instructional influences of the conceptual change model based on the cognitive conflict and the conceptual change model emphasizing the social consensus were investigated. The subjects were 109 7th-graders in a boys' middle school in Seoul, and were taught about the changes of states, density, and dissolution for 8 class periods. The hypotheses provided in the instructions were constructed from the results of a pilot test. Prior to the instructions, three tests regarding the perceptions of discussion, the attitudes toward science instructions, and the perceptions of participation were administered. Two types of the conceptual change instructions and the traditional instruction were used in the treatment groups and the control group, respectively. After the instructions, the students' achievement, the conceptions, the perceptions of discussion, the attitudes toward science instructions, and the perceptions of participation were investigated. ANCOVA results revealed that the scores of the treatment groups were significantly higher than those of the control group in the achievement test. Although the score of the treatment group using the conceptual change model emphasizing social consensus were higher than those of other groups in the conceptions test, the differences were not statistically significant. The perceptions of discussion were significantly more positive in the treatment group using the conceptual change model emphasizing social consensus than in the control group. However, there were no significant differences in the scores of the attitudes toward science class and the perceptions of participation among the three groups. Educational implications are discussed.

본 연구에서는 인지적 갈등 유발을 통한 개념 변화 수업과 사회적 합의를 강조한 개념 변화 수업의 효과를 조사하였다. 서울시에 소재한 남자 중학교 1학년 학생 109명을 대상으로 상태 변화, 밀도, 용해 등에 대하여 8차시에 걸쳐 수업을 실시하였으며, 예비 검사를 통하여 학생들에게 제시할 가설들을 구성하였다. 사전 검사로 토론에 대한 인식, 과학 수업에 대한 태도, 수업 참여도에 대한 인식을 조사한 후, 학급별로 전통적 수업, 인지적 갈등 유발을 통한 개념 변화 수업, 주어진 가설에 기초한 토론 과정에서의 사회적 합의를 강조한 개념 변화 수업을 각각 실시하였다. 수업 처치 후, 학업 성취도, 개념 이해도, 토론에 대한 인식, 과학 수업에 대한 태도, 수업 참여도에 대한 인식을 조사하였다. 공변량 분석 결과, 통제 집단에 비하여 처치 집단들의 학업 성취도가 유의미하게 높았다. 개념 이해도에서는 사회적 합의를 강조한 개념 변화 수업 집단의 점수가 가장 높았으나, 통계적으로 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 토론에 대한 인식은 사회적 합의를 강조한 개념 변화 수업 집단이 통제 집단에 비해 유의미하게 긍정적이었으나, 과학 수업에 대한 태도와 수업 참여도에 대한 인식에서는 세 집단 사이에 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다.
