Abstract

In this study, we investigated teachers' experiences in teaching with the science museum as well as their confidence, their perceptions, educational needs, and their willingness to practice the instructions using science museum. A survey was administered to 225 elementary and secondary school teachers. The analyses of the results revealed that few teachers had training for the instructions using the science museum and not many teachers had experience in teaching with the science museum. Many teachers were also found to have low confidence in teaching with the science museum. Although the teachers had a relatively good understanding of the educational effects, nature and teaching strategies for the instructions using the science museum, they tended to apply the formal views on science teaching/learning to learning with the science museum. The levels of willingness to use the science museum in their instructions and educational needs of the instructions using the science museum were high. They wanted the information about practical aspects to use in the instructions using science museum most. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

이 연구에서는 서울지역의 초 중등교사 225명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 과학관 학습 관련 교수 학습 경험, 과학관 학습의 이해 및 실행에 대한 자기인식, 과학관 학습의 효과, 교수전략 및 본성에 대한인식, 과학관 학습 관련 교육 요구, 과학수업에서 과학관 학습 실행 의향에 대해 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 교사들은 과학관 학습과 관련된 교육을 받은 경험이 거의 없었고 과학관을 활용한 교수 학습 경험도 많지 않았다. 또한, 많은 교사들이 과학관 학습의 이해 및 실행에 대한 자기 인식이 높지 않은 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 과학관 학습의 교육적 효과와 과학관 학습의 본성 및 교수전략에 대한 이해 수준이 비교적 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 형식적인 학교교육에서의 교수관을 과학관 학습에도 그대로 적용하려는 경향이 있었다. 과학관 학습 실행 의향과 교육 요구가 높았는데, 교사들은 과학관 학습에 직접 활용할 수 있는 실제적인 사항들에 대한 정보를 가장 필요로 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 대한 교육적 함의를 논의하였다.
