Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate trends of science educational researches on underrepresented students by scrutinizing Korean science education research literatures. For this particular purpose, literatures on underrepresented students were extracted from both listed and candidate journals for KCI and theses from 1984 to February 2017, and analyzed criteria such as source, year of publication, design, method, and content of research. A total of 125 papers from journals and 147 theses were extracted. In these researches, 61%, 20%, 6% were about students with disability, underachievers, and North Korean defector students respectively. The ratio of the researches on other underrepresented students such as multicultural, low income families, students who are from rural areas, and other underrepresented students were less than 5%. According to the year of publication, it was found that the number of research papers on underrepresented students increased continuously by a single digit from 1984 by focusing on the students with disability and underachievers. After that, from around 2008, it showed a rapid increase and researches on underrepresented students carried out more than 20 times annually. With regards to research design, there were 58% quantitative, 28% qualitative and 14% hybrid research design. Through analysis of research methods, we found that 30% of experimental research, 22% of interpretive research, 20% of correlation analysis, and 14% of survey research. After going through the characteristics of the research contents by visualizing the relationship between the research groups and the keywords that were extracted, it was found that even though the science education researches on underrepresented students have various contents, there were no keywords that were researched continuously and intensively in this area. The structural relationship between the keywords and each research group on underrepresented students showed that 'academic achievement' is the keyword with the highest degree of mediateness and connectedness.

이 연구의 목적은 소외계층학생을 대상으로 실시된 국내 과학교육연구 문헌들을 분석하여 이에 대한 연구의 동향을 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 1984년부터 2017년 2월까지 KCI 등재 등재후보 학술지와 국내 석 박사 학위 논문 중 장애, 저소득, 농산어촌, 다문화, 탈북, 학업위기, 기타소외 학생을 대상으로 수행된 과학교육 연구 문헌들을 수집하여 이를 연구 출처, 수행 연도, 연구 대상, 연구 설계, 연구방법, 연구 내용으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 총 125편의 학술지 논문과 147편의 학위 논문이 수집 되었다. 이중 장애학생에 대한 연구가 61%, 학습부진학생 20%, 탈북 학생에 대한 과학교육 연구는 6%였고 나머지 소외계층학생집단에 대한 연구는 모두 5%미만의 수치를 보여주었다. 연구 연도에 따른 분석 결과 1984년부터 주로 장애학생과 학습위기학생을 대상으로 한 과학교육 연구를 중심으로 지속적으로 증가하던 소외계층학생 대상 과학교육 연구는 2008년을 전후하여 급격한 증가를 보여주었고 이후 매년 20편이상의 연구들이 수행되었다. 분석된 논문의 58%가 양적연구, 28%가 질적연구 그리고 14%가 혼합연구 설계를 사용하였다. 연구 방법에 있어서는 실험 연구 30%, 해석연구 22%, 상관 연구 20%, 그리고 조사 연구가 14%를 차지하였다. 논문의 핵심어를 추출하여 연구내용의 특성을 분석한 결과 소외계층학생을 대상으로 한 과학교육 연구들은 연구 대상자들의 특성을 포함한 다양한 연구내용을 다루고 있었지만 여러 연구에서 지속적이고 집중적으로 다루어진 핵심어는 관찰되지 않았다. 각 소외계층학생에 대한 과학교육 연구들의 집단별 핵심어의 구조적 관계를 분석한 결과 핵심어 중 '학업성취도'가 매개정도와 연결강도가 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다.
