Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of learner variables on triggering state curiosity and state anxiety in confronting scientific task situation for fifth to sixth grades of elementary school. Science curiosity, interest, need for cognition, science self-concept, science anxiety, prior knowledge, and perceived difficulty were selected as learner variables that are expected to affect state curiosity and state anxiety. As a result of this study, the variables that had a significant influence on evoking state curiosity in confronting scientific task situation were in the order of interest, need for cognition, science curiosity, and prior knowledge, and all of these variables had a positive effect. In addition, the variables that significantly affect on evoking state anxiety in confronting scientific task situation were in the order of science anxiety, perceived difficulty, need for cognition, science self-concept, and prior knowledge. Of these, only prior knowledge had a negative effect on evoking state anxiety, and the other variables had a positive effect. The results of this study are expected to broaden the comprehension of students' emotional states in science education, and provide a theoretical foundation for the studies of state curiosity and state anxiety in science learning.

본 연구는 초등학교 5~6학년을 대상으로 과학 문제 대면 상황에서 학습자 변인이 상태호기심 및 상태불안 유발에 미치는 영향을 밝히는 데 목적이 있다. 상태호기심 및 상태불안 유발에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되는 학습자 변인으로 과학호기심, 흥미, 인지욕구, 과학자아개념, 과학불안, 사전지식, 학생이 인식한 과제난이도를 선정하였다. 분석 결과, 과학 문제 대면 상황에서 유발되는 상태호기심에 유의한 영향을 미치는 변인은 흥미, 인지욕구, 과학호기심, 사전지식 순으로 나타났으며, 이들 변인은 모두 정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 과학 문제 대면 상황에서 유발되는 상태불안에 유의한 영향을 미치는 변인은 과학 불안, 학생이 인식한 과제난이도, 인지욕구, 과학자아개념, 사전지식 순으로 나타났다. 이중 사전지식만 상태불안 유발에 부적인 영향을 미쳤고 나머지 변인들은 정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구의 결과는 과학학습에서 학생의 정서적 상태에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓히고, 과학 학습에서 유발되는 상태호기심 및 상태 불안 연구에 대한 이론적 토대를 마련할 것으로 기대된다.
