Abstract

In this case study, we investigated teaching strategies of science teacher's teaching in science museum. Two secondary science teachers who completed a teacher training course on teaching in science museums participated in this study. We conducted interviews about their perceptions on teaching in science museum and their teaching plans before teaching. Then, we observed and recorded their teaching practices in the science museum throughout one semester, and collected all of the teaching materials. The interviews were also conducted after every lessons and at the end of the semester. For the analysis of teaching strategies, we used a framework that was revised from the framework for museum practice (FMP). The analysis of results revealed that the teachers understood the significance of planning the activities in a series of pre-visit, during-visit, and post-visit, so that they structured their teaching as continuous activities, not as an one-time event. However, they showed differences in the extent of connecting the activities with the national science curriculum according to their teaching objectives. In addition, there were differences in strategies such as promoting social interaction, evoking students' curiosity and interest, providing students with choices and control, and inducing engagement and challenge depending on each teacher's perceptions and experiences on teaching in science museum. These results suggest that science teacher education for the professional development of teaching in science museum should systematically provide knowledge and experiences on teaching strategies based on appropriate perceptions on teaching in science museum.

본 연구에서는 사례연구를 통해 과학 교사의 과학관 학습 실행에서 나타난 교수 전략을 분석하였다. 과학관 학습 관련 연수를 이수한 중등과학 교사 2인이 연구에 참여하였다. 과학관 학습에 대한 인식과 수업계획에 대한 사전면담을 실시한 후, 한 학기 동안 이루어진 각 교사의 과학관 학습 실행을 관찰 및 녹화하였고, 모든 교수학습 자료를 수집하였으며, 각 수업 실행 후와 한 학기가 끝난 후에도 면담을 실시하였다. 교사들의 과학관 학습 실행에서 나타난 교수 전략은 박물관 학습 수행전략 틀을 수정 보완한 분석틀을 활용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 두 교사 모두 과학관 학습을 방문 전, 중, 후 활동으로 구성하는 것의 중요성을 충분히 인식하여 단순 관람이 아니라 연속적인 활동으로 과학관 학습을 구조화하였으나 교사의 과학관 학습 목표에 따라 활동내용과 정규교육과정과의 연계를 고려하는 정도에는 차이가 있었다. 또한, 사회적 상호작용 촉진 전략이나 학생들의 호기심과 흥미를 유발하기 위한 전략, 학습에 자율권을 부여하고 조절하는 전략, 인지적 참여와 도전을 이끌어내기 위한 전략 측면에서 두 교사의 과학관 학습에 대한 인식과 실행 경험에 따른 차이가 있었다. 이러한 결과는 교사의 과학관 학습 관련 전문성을 향상시키기 위해서는 과학관 학습에 대한 올바른 인식을 바탕으로 이에 적합한 교수 전략에 대한 지식과 실행 경험을 체계적으로 제공할 수 있는 교사교육이 이루어져야 함을 시사한다.
