Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the understanding of nature of scientific knowledge and attitudes toward scientific inquiry of pre-service science teachers experienced open inquiry. The study was conducted in 10 sessions of open inquiry-based chemistry experiment. The subjects were 40 pre-service science teachers recruited from the experiment class. They received pre-test, mid-test, post-test on understanding nature of scientific knowledge and attitudes toward scientific inquiry of open inquiry activities. 20 pre-service science teachers among them participated in the interview. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a significant difference in pre-service science teachers' understanding of the nature of the scientific knowledge (p<.05). In particular, understanding of creativity and sociality parts improved gradually. Second, pre-service science teachers' attitude toward scientific inquiry had changed negatively until the middle of the semester, and then changed positively later. The post-test score was significantly higher than the mid-test score (p<.05).

본 연구에서는 예비과학교사들의 개방형 탐구 경험이 과학 지식의 본성에 대한 이해와 과학 탐구에 대한 태도에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보았다. 서울 소재의 사범대학 내 과학교육과에서 개설된 '탐구화학실험' 수업을 수강하는 학생 40명을 대상으로 한 학기 동안 10개의 주제로 개방형 탐구 실험을 진행하였다. 개방형 탐구 실험은 제시된 현상을 관찰한 후 조별로 탐구문제를 설정하여 가설을 세우고, 직접 실험을 설계하고 수행하여 결론을 도출하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 학생들의 과학 지식의 본성에 대한 이해와 과학 탐구에 대한 태도 변화를 알아보기 위하여 세 차례에 걸친 검사지와 개인 면담 자료를 활용하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과학 지식의 본성에 대한 이해는 통계적으로 유의미한 향상을 보였다(p<.05). 하위 영역 중에서는 창의성, 초도덕성, 사회성 영역에서 유의미한 변화가 나타났다. 이 외에도 개인 면담을 통해서 과학 지식의 주관성에 대한 이해에 영향을 미친 것이 관찰되었다. 둘째, 과학 탐구에 대한 태도는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 학생들이 개방형 탐구를 경험한 초반에는 과학 탐구에 대한 태도가 다소 부정적이었으나 계속해서 경험할수록 긍정적인 태도가 나타났다.
