Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of elementary school students' knowledge and information processing competence and collaborative problem-solving ability in scientific inquiry class using data measured with digital inquiry tools. To this end, three classes of 5th grade elementary schools in S-city, Gyeongnam were selected as experimental groups and three classes as control groups. The control group conducted traditional lecture-style classes, and the experimental group conducted scientific inquiry classes using scientific data. The following results were obtained through questionnaires after class. First, science inquiry classes using scientific data helped elementary school students improve their knowledge and information processing competence. Second, scientific inquiry classes using scientific data improved elementary school students' cooperative problem-solving ability. From the above results, it was found that scientific inquiry classes using scientific data are needed to improve the knowledge information processing competence and cooperative problem solving ability of elementary school students. Based on this research, it is necessary to study a specific teaching and learning environment that can activate scientific inquiry class using data measured with digital inquiry tools in the future.

이 연구에서는 디지털 탐구도구로 측정한 데이터를 활용하는 과학 탐구 수업에서 초등학생의 지식정보처리역량과 협력적 문제해결력에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경남 S시의 초등학교 5학년 3개 학급을 실험집단, 3개 학급을 통제 집단으로 선정하였다. 통제집단은 전통적인 강의식 수업을 하였고, 실험집단은 과학데이터를 활용하는 과학 탐구 수업을 하였다. 수업 후 검사를 통해 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 과학데이터를 활용하는 과학 탐구 수업은 초등학생들의 지식정보처리 역량 향상에 도움을 주었다. 둘째, 과학데이터를 활용하는 과학 탐구 수업은 초등학생의 협력적 문제 해결력을 신장시켰다. 이상의 결과로부터 과학데이터를 활용하는 과학 탐구 수업은 초등학생의 지식정보처리역량과 협력적 문제해결력 향상을 위해 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 이번 연구를 바탕으로 향후 디지털 탐구도구로 측정한 데이터를 활용하는 과학 탐구를 활성화할 수 있는 구체적인 교수·학습 환경에 관한 연구가 필요하다.
