Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of a science drama on elementary students' science attitudes. To this study, the survey measured science attitudes conducted to the experimental group(N=33) and the control group(N=33), and it was interviewed to them after their science drama. The interview was recorded to make a transcript, then used to complement the results of sub-domain analysis. The results were as follows: There was a statistically significant difference in curiosity and creativity regarding scientific attitude, and interest in science and appreciation of scientist regarding attitudes towards science. Though there was no statistical significance in the other domain of science attitudes, we confirmed that students' science attitudes was changed more positively and meaningfully by the analysis of the interview. Based-on this study, we suggested the implications and the following studies.
