Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the utilization of history of science and STEAM and the elementary school teachers' perceptions about design-based STEAM instruction applying the history of science in science class. To research the utilization of the history of science and STEAM in elementary science class, educational value of design-based STEAM instruction applying the history of science, the questionnaire was revised based on research conducted by Lee & Shin(2014), Park et al.(2010), Shin & Han(2011) and developed questionnaire a total of 20 questions. It was administered to reply the questionnaire to 201 teachers of elementary school in D and G area. The results of this study were as follows: elementary school teachers did not teach actively the history of science, made it read students by simply introducing himself. They did not teach actively STEAM due to not enough time(busy to take a magnitude). They were difficult to teach, but the most focused on the 'Creative Problem-solving' process. And elementary school teachers perceived positively about the educational value of design-based STEAM instruction applying the history of science. Especially, they perceived that it can help elementary school students find a hint for solving the problem through examples of cases of scientific principles and a scientist. In conclusion, it implicates that it is need to regard elementary school teachers' perceptions on application of the history of science and STEAM, and develop specific design-based STEAM program applying the history of science in order to be applied successfully in elementary school for the STEAM settlement.

이 연구는 과학 수업에서 과학사와 융합인재교육의 활용 실태와 과학사를 활용한 설계 기반의 융합인재교육 수업에 대한 초등교사들의 인식을 분석하는 것이다. 따라서 초등학교 과학 수업에서 과학사와 융합인재교육의 활용 실태와 과학사를 활용한 설계 기반의 융합인재교육 수업에 대한 교육적 가치를 알아보기 위해 설문지는 Shin & Han(2011)과 Lee & Shin(2014)의 연구와 Park et al.(2010)의 연구를 바탕으로 연구문제에 맞게 수정하여 총 20문항의 설문지를 개발하였다. 개발한 설문지는 D시와 G시 지역에 재직하고 있는 201명의 초등교사를 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 이 연구의 결과 초등교사들은 과학 수업에서 과학사를 적극적으로 다루지 않으며, 주로 학생들에게 간단히 소개하면서 스스로 읽어보게 하였다. 초등교사들은 '충분하지 않은 시간'을 이유로 융합인재교육을 적극적으로 다루고 있지 않으며, '창의적 문제해결력' 에 지도 중점을 두고 있지만 이 단계를 매우 지도하기 어려워하고 있었다. 또한 초등교사은 과학사를 활용한 설계 기반의 융합인재교육수업의 교육적 가치에 대해서 매우 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었다. 특히 과학적 원리와 과거 과학자의 문제해결의 사례를 통해 학생들에게 창의적 설계와 문제해결의 아이디어와 실마리를 제공해 줄 수 있다고 인식하였다. 결론적으로 융합인재교육이 초등학교 현장에서 성공적으로 적용되기 위해서는 이와 같은 초등교사들의 과학사와 융합인재교육의 활용실태에 대한 인식과 과학사를 활용한 설계 기반의 융합인재교육 수업의 교육적 가치에 대한 긍정적인 인식을 바탕으로 향후 보다 구체적인 과학사를 활용한 설계 기반의 융합인재교육 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하여 학교 현장에 보급할 필요가 있겠다.
