Abstract

This study aims to explore the direction of improvement that considers the talent image of science high schools in the admissions process. To this end, first, the talent image and competencies of science high schools were divided into 'publicity' and 'efficiency,' 'execution' and 'achievement' types, and 'publicity & execution' was predominant in most cases. Next, a total of 28 science high school teachers, education experts, and middle school teachers were surveyed on the degree of reflection of talent image and the direction of improvement in the admissions process of three science high schools. The results of the survey are as follows: first, the evaluation of 'publicity' was very limited in the first stage of admissions process, and selection based on 'achievement' was high. Second, there was a strong tendency to select based on 'efficiency & achievement' in the second stage of interview evaluation. Third, we need to improve the selection of students who fit the 'publicity & execution' type of talent image by introducing 'publicity & execution' type of talent image by introducing 'write a competency-oriented self-introduction letter, reflect other subjects' grades and comparative studies in the school life record, and experts' interviews' to the first-stage of admissions process. Fourth, convergence and open-ended questions that enable divergent thinking should be jointly submitted to reflect the 'publicity & execution' type of talent image in the second stage of interview evaluation. In conclusion, the direction of improvement that considers the talent image of science high schools in the admissions process should be changed to competency-oriented in the first-stage of admissions process and in the second stage of interview evaluation consisting of open-ended questions.

본 연구는 과학고등학교 입학전형에 인재상을 고려하는 개선 방향을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 과학고등학교 인재상과 역량을 '공공성'과 '효용성', '수행'과 '성과' 유형으로 구분하였는데, 대부분 '공공성-수행'이 우세하였다. 다음으로 3개 과학고등학교의 입학전형에서 인재상 반영 정도와 개선 방향에 대한 설문조사를 과학고등학교 교사, 교육 전문가, 중학교 교사 총 28명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 설문의 결과는 다음과 같았다. 첫째, 1단계 전형에서는 '공공성' 평가가 매우 제한적이었고, '성과' 중심으로 선발하는 경향이 높았다. 둘째, 2단계 면접 평가에서는 '효용성-성과' 중심으로 선발하는 경향이 매우 강했다. 셋째, 1단계 전형에 '역량 중심의 자기소개서 작성, 학교생활기록부의 타 교과 성적 및 비교과 반영, 전문가의 면담'을 도입하여 '공공성-수행' 유형의 인재상에 부합하는 학생선발로 개선해야 한다. 넷째, 2단계 면접 평가에서 '공공성-수행' 유형의 인재상을 반영하기 위해서는 발산적 사고가 가능한 융합적이고 개방형 문항의 공동 출제가 이루어져야 한다. 결론적으로 과학고등학교 입학전형에 인재상을 고려하는 개선 방향은 역량 중심의 1단계 서류평가와 개방형 문항으로 구성된 2단계 면접 평가로 변화되어야 한다는 것이다.
