Abstract

According to the online learning environment, learning activities using mobile technology have emerged as a major concern. The features of mobile technology show potential supporting the emergence of learners' agencies in science education. In this study, 22 research literature on mobile activities in science teaching and learning published in Korea from 2011 to April 2020 were selected. First, the framework of Suarez et al. (2018) was revised and the types of mobile activities were categorized and investigated. Second, the emergence of agencies was examined in the context of science teaching and learning. And also, the relevance of mobile activity types ('Access to content', 'Data collection', 'Peer-to-peer communication', 'Contextual support') to support learners' agency dimension ('goals', 'content', 'action', 'strategy', 'reflection', 'monitoring') was analyzed. The first analysis show that science teaching and learning through mobile activities are changing from traditional to student-centered. Through these activities, students become more involved in learning and get the opportunity to become agents of learning. As a result of the second analysis, it has been confirmed that the emergence of learners' agencies has been supported and strengthened through mobile activities. Whereas, it needs to look upon the relationship between learners' agency and mobile activities in the overall context of science class. This consideration led to implications for the use of mobile technology in future science education and the transition to student-centered education.

과학 교수학습에서 온라인 학습 환경이 확대됨에 따라 모바일 테크놀로지를 활용한 학습 활동이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 학습자 주체성(learners' agency)의 발현을 지원해 줄 수 있는 모바일 테크놀로지는 ICT 활용 교육의 핵심적 도구가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2011년부터 2020년 4월까지 국내에서 발행된 학술지 게재논문 중 과학 교수학습에서의 모바일 활동에 관한 연구 문헌 22편을 연구 대상으로 선정하였다. 이에 대해 모바일 활동 유형을 분류하고 유형별 학습자 주체성 발현에 대한 지원 관련성을 분석하였다. 첫 번째 단계로, 국내 과학 교수학습의 모바일 활동 분석을 위해 Suárez et al. (2018)의 분류 틀을 수정·보완하여 제시하고, 이를 바탕으로 모바일 활동 유형을 분류하여 살펴보았다. 다음 단계로, 과학 교수학습의 맥락에서 학습자 주체성의 여섯 가지 측면('목표', '내용', '행동', '전략', '반성', '모니터링')의 발현과 모바일 활동 유형('내용 접근', '자료 수집', '동료 간 의사소통', '상황적 지원')의 지원 관련성을 분석하였다. 첫 번째 결과로, 과학 교수학습에서 나타난 모바일 활동의 모습은 기존의 전통적 수업에서 벗어나 학생 중심 수업으로 변화하고 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 이는 모바일 활동을 통해 학생들이 학습에 능동적으로 참여하며 학습의 주체가 되는 기회를 제공받을 수 있다는 점을 말해준다. 두 번째 결과로, 학습자 주체성 각 측면의 발현이 어떤 모바일 활동 유형에 의해 주로 지원되고 강화되는지를 확인할 수 있었으며, 일반적인 교수학습 상황에서 나타나기 어려운 학습자 주체성의 측면이 모바일 활동을 통해 지원될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 한편, 학습자 주체성의 발현과 모바일 활동의 지원을 과학 교수학습의 맥락을 고려하여 살펴보아야 할 필요성도 드러났다. 이를 종합하여 미래과학 교육에서의 모바일 테크놀로지 활용과 학습자 중심 교육으로의 변화를 위한 시사점을 살펴보았다.
