Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine whether and how the features of performance assessments implemented during integrated science classes are related to teachers' PCK. We observed and video recorded four high school teachers' performance assessment practices, interviewed them, and surveyed their PCK. An analysis of the data shows that the teachers' performance assessment practices differed in terms of assessment of process, diagnosis of student learning progress, feedback, degree of classroom interactions, and use of assessment criteria. In particular, the opportunities for students to participate in assessment actively and use of assessment for learning varied across teachers. Also, relational patterns among science teaching orientations, PCK and performance assessment practices were found. When a teacher aimed at teaching for both academic learning and scientific literacy, sophisticated PCK was shown and assessment practices were complex accordingly. When scientific literacy was emphasized PCK highlighted experiential learning and assessments were not clearly distinguished from learning activities. In contrast, when academic achievement was emphasized traditional teaching strategies and assessments were highlighted. Based on these findings a number of topics for professional development are suggested including strategies for students' active engagement in assessment, use and development of specific assessment criteria, strategies for assessing performance qualities, and intuitive assessment competency development. Further research topics are also suggested.

이 연구는 통합과학 수업 중 실시하는 수행평가의 특성과 교사의 PCK와의 관련성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 4명의 통합과학 교사의 수행평가 수업을 관찰하였고, 녹화하였으며, 관찰한 수업에 관해 면담을 하였고, 질문지를 통해 교사의 PCK를 조사하고 분석하였다. 연구결과 각 교사의 평가의 특징은 수행의 과정 및 결과 평가, 학생의 이해 상태파악, 피드백, 교실내의 상호작용의 정도, 평가기준의 사용을 중심으로 차이를 보였다. 특히 학생이 평가에 적극적으로 참여할 수 있는 기회와 학습의 지원을 위해 평가가 사용되는 정도에서 두드러진 차이를 보였다. 또한, 교사의 과학교수지향과 PCK 그리고 수행평가의 실천이 일정한 관계를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 교사의 통합과학 교육의 목표가 학문적 목적과 과학소양의 목적을 모두 가지는 경우 PCK가 개념학습과 경험학습을 중심으로 정교하게 드러났으며, 평가의 실천 역시 그와 일관되게 다양하고 복합적이었다. 한편, 소양교육을 강조하는 경우 PCK는 경험 중심 학습을 바탕으로 하는 수업 활동을 강조하였고, 평가의 실천에서는 학습을 위한 수행 활동과 평가활동의 구분이 모호하였다. 이와는 대조적으로 교과 내 학문적 목표를 강조한 경우는 전통적 수업 전략 및 평가 지식이 드러났고, 평가의 실천에 있어서는 총괄평가를 강조하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 최근 강조되는 학습을 위한 평가를 효율적으로 실시할 수 있는 교사의 역량 신장을 위한 연수의 내용으로 평가에 학생을 적극적으로 참여시킬 수 있는 전략, 수행 과제에 적절한 구체적인 평가 기준의 사용, 학생이 수행평가 과제를 수행하는 과정에서 발생하는 학습의 질적평가 전략, 직관적 평가의 역량 개발이 포함되어야 한다는 시사점을 제시하였다. 추가 연구 주제도 제안하였다.
