Abstract

The study was conducted to identify if the first-year program of science-focused school improved students' scientific core competency and science learning motivation. The first-year program of the science-focused school consisted of basic education in scientific inquiry, investigation, advanced experiment, and basic education in small research. There were a total of 262 participants in the program, and 169 students took three survey tests. Through the analysis of a group-based trajectory modeling, students were differentiated based on similarity of score changes. This study showed that the first-year program of the science-focused school significantly improved students' scientific core competency and science learning motivation. A group-based trajectory modeling found that about 40~60% of students saw the effects of the program. The students who chose the humanity track showed effects, while some students who chose the science-focused track did not show effects. A group-based trajectory modeling showed the methodological effects of identifying the change process of individual students. This study identified the positive effects of science-focused school policy statistically and is a meaningful example for analyzing the effectiveness of science-focused school programs.

이 연구는 과학중점학교의 1학년 프로그램이 학생들의 과학과 핵심역량과 과학학습동기를 향상시키는지 확인하기 위하여 진행되었다. 과학중점학교 1학년 프로그램은 과학탐구 기초교육, 조사 발표, 심화실험, 소논문 기초교육 등으로 구성된다. 프로그램 참여자는 총 262명이며, 설문 검사를 모두 수행한 학생은 169명이다. 집단중심 추세모형 분석을 통해 유사한 점수 변화 보이는 집단으로 구분하였다. 연구 결과 과학중점학교의 1학년 프로그램은 학생들의 과학과 핵심역량과 과학학습동기를 유의미하게 향상시켰다. 집단중심 추세모형분석 결과 약 40~60%의 학생들이 프로그램의 효과를 보았다. 인문계열을 선택한 학생들 중에서도 효과가 나타나는 학생들이 있었으며, 과학중점 계열을 선택한 학생 중에서도 교육적 효과가 나타나지 않는 학생들도 일부 있었다. 집단중심 추세모형 분석을 통해 개별 학생들의 변화 과정을 확인할 수 있는 방법론적 효과를 확인하였다. 이 연구는 과학중점학교 정책의 긍정적 효과를 통계적으로 확인하였으며, 과학중점학교 프로그램의 효과 분석을 위한 사례로서 의미가 있다.
