Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate some implications for optics education and improvement of the Examination for Appointing Secondary School Physics Teachers (EASSPT), by analyzing the problems in EASSPT. For these purpose, we analyzed 38 optics problems of the EASSPT from the 16 school years of 2002 to 2017. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, optics problems were presented in 10.8% of the physics subject area, which was least frequently. Second, many problems have addressed specific areas such as Snell's law, image of a single lens, or interference. Few problems were found in many other evaluation areas, including optical instruments and aberrations. Third, compared to other areas, optics problems were presented as relatively easy questions, and the problems were presented in more laboratory contexts than daily-life contexts. In addition, we have discussed implications for EASSPT and in-service physics-teacher training.

본 연구는 중등물리교사임용시험의 광학 문항 분석을 통해 광학 교육에의 시사점을 탐색하고 중등물리교사임용시험의 개선방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2002학년도부터 2017학년도까지 16년간 실시된 중등물리교사임용시험에 출제된 38개의 광학문항을 분석하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 광학 문항은 물리내용학 영역 중에서는 약 10.8% 비율로 출제되어 가장 출제빈도가 낮은 영역이었다. 둘째, 스넬의 법칙, 렌즈의 상, 간섭 등 특정 영역에 대해서 많은 문제가 출제되었으며, 광학기기 및 수차 등에서는 거의 출제되지 않았다. 셋째, 다른 영역에 비해 광학 내용 문항들은 비교적 쉬운 문항들로 출제되었으며, 일상생활 상황보다 실험실 상황의 문제가 더 많이 출제되었다. 추가로 평가 내용 요소별 문항 분석을 통해 물리교사임용시험과 중등물리예비교사교육에의 시사점을 논의하였다.
