Abstract

This study aims to develop the scales to measure the innovation configurations of Science. Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) from the perspective of elementary school teachers and investigates the effect of the innovation configurations and related environmental factors on the usage levels of STEAM based on the newly developed scales for the innovation configurations of STEAM. The scales for the innovation configurations of STEAM are based on analyzing the various previous studies and in-depth interviews and consist of four sub-configurations: The 'Preparation,' 'Design,' 'Implementation,' and 'Evaluation.' The innovation configurations of STEAM was investigated with the developed scales through 266 teachers who are leading STEAM school teachers, are involved in STEAM research group, or are implementing STEAM in general schools. The final 19 questionnaires for the scale of the innovation configuration of STEAM are confirmed with exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis. In order to examine the relationship between the innovation configurations and levels of use, the direct relationship between four sub-configurations and the usage levels of STEAM and the effect of environmental factors on the innovation configuration and the usage levels of STEAM have been conducted and their interactions are considered. The results show that 'Implementation' in the innovation configurations of STEAM and 'STEAM training experience' are most important factors to improve the usage levels of STEAM for elementary school teachers. It implies that the scales are very helpful in improving as well as figuring out the current innovation configurations of STEAM.

이 연구는 초등학교 교사의 관점에서 융합인재교육의 실행 형태를 측정하기 위한 측정도구를 개발하고 이를 활용하여 실행 형태와 관련 배경 요인이 실행 수준에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실행형태의 측정도구는 다양한 선행 연구 및 심층면접 등의 분석을 기반으로 개발되었고, '수업준비', '수업설계', '수업운영', '평가'의 4개 세부 요인으로 구성되었다. 사전 개발된 측정 문항을 바탕으로 전국의 융합인재교육 연구·선도학교의 교사, 융합인재교육 교사연구회 활동을 하는 교사, 그리고 융합인재교육을 실시하고 있는 일반 초등학교 교사 266명을 대상으로 융합인재교육 실행 형태를 조사하였다. 탐색적 요인분석 및 신뢰도 분석을 통하여 융합인재교육의 실행 형태를 측정을 위한 총 19개의 측정 문항을 확정하였다. 초등교사의 융합인재교육의 실행형태와 그 실제 실행수준의 관계를 조사하기 위해 먼저, 실행형태의 4개 세부 요인과 실행수준의 직접적 영향을 조사하고, 배경 요인으로 고려한 초등교사의 교육경력, 융합인재교육 연수경험이 이 실행형태 각 세부 요인과 실행수준에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 마지막으로 실행형태 4개 세부 요인과 배경요인의 상호작용을 동시에 고려하여 실행수준과의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석의 결과, 초등교사의 융합인재교육의 실행수준을 개선시키기 위한 방안으로 실행형태의 '수업운영' 요소와 배경변인 중 '연수경험'의 유의미한 상관이 도출되었으며, 이 연구를 통하여 개발된 측정도구는 초등교사의 관점에서 융합인재교육의 실행을 분석하는 데에 유용할 뿐 아니라, 바람직한 개선 추구에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
