Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze application status about the process-centered assessment in elementary school science classes. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with 133 teachers and 2,089 students in elementary schools, and in-depth interviews with eight teachers were conducted. Elementary school teachers had a positive attitude toward the adoption of the process-centered assessment of 2015 revised science curriculum. After applying 2015 revised science curriculum, teachers used more performance assessments and less traditional ones in science classes. Elementary school students recognized that they receive feedbacks from their teachers more often with the implementation of the 2015 revised science curriculum. Through in-depth interviews, it was possible to confirm the difficulty of applying the process-centered assessment of elementary school teachers, such as lack of understanding of process-centered assessment and lack of time for its application. Based on the results of the study, the necessity for improving teacher understanding of process-centered assessment and the need to disseminate process-centered assessment materials are suggested.

본 연구는 2015 개정 과학과 교육과정에서 강조하고 있는 과정중심평가의 초등학교 현장 적용 실태를 파악하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 초등교사(133명)와 초등학생(2,089명)을 대상으로 과정중심평가와 관련된 인식 조사를 실시하였고, 8명의 초등교사를 대상으로 심층면담을 진행하였다. 초등교사들은 과정중심평가의 도입에 대해 전반적으로 긍정적인 태도를 가지고 있었으며, 2015 개정 과학과 교육과정의 도입 이후 수행평가 유형이 증가하고, 전통적 평가방법의 활용이 감소하는 변화가 있었다. 초등학생들은 과학 수업에서 과정중심평가의 핵심 요소 중 하나인 개별적 지원이나 긍정적 피드백 등을 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 심층면담을 통해 과정중심평가에 대한 이해 부족, 실제 적용을 위한 시간 부족 등과 같은 초등교사의 과정중심평가 적용의 어려움을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구결과를 토대로 과정중심평가에 대한 교사 이해 제고의 필요성, 과정중심평가 자료 보급의 필요성 등을 제안하였다.
