Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of pre-service elementary teachers' scientific self-efficacy by science motivation according to the academic track in high school. The subjects of this study were 525 pre-service elementary teachers of which 350 pre-service elementary teachers were selected from the humanities and social sciences track in high school and 175 pre-service elementary teachers were selected from the science-engineering track in high school. In order to investigate the difference between scientific self-efficacy and science motivation among pre-service elementary teachers, Independent sample t-test and Cohen's d were done. In order to find out about the Influencing of scientific self-efficacy on science motivation, multiple regression analysis was used. The results of this study were as follows: First, there were statistically significant differences in scientific self-efficacy and science motivation, and the average of pre-service elementary teachers who selected science-engineering were significantly higher. Second, explanation power of scientific self-efficacy on science motivation appeared as 66.7~68.3%. The explanatory power of pre-service elementary teachers' who selected humanities and social sciences were higher. The relative importance was high in task difficulty preference factor to humanities and social sciences, was high in self-regulation efficacy to science-engineering. In conclusion, in order for pre-service elementary teachers to achieve high achievement and motivation in science subjects, and to teach science well to students in the school field, teacher education that can improve scientific self-efficacy should be conducted.

이 연구에서는 고등학교 재학 당시 진로 선택 계열에 따른 예비 초등 교사들의 과학적 자기 효능감과 과학 동기를 비교하고, 과학적 자기 효능감이 과학 동기에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 A 광역시 소재 교육대학교 2~4학년에 재학 중인 학생들로, 온라인 설문을 실시하여 총 525명의 응답 결과를 활용하였다. 응답한 예비 초등 교사 중 인문사회계열을 선택하였던 학생은 350명, 자연공학계열을 선택한 학생은 175명으로 구성되어 있다. 연구 대상으로부터 수집된 과학적 자기 효능감과 과학 동기에 대한 데이터는 독립표본 t-검증 및 효과 크기 분석, 다중 회귀 분석을 실시하여 분석하였으며, 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 인문사회계열과 자연공학계열을 선택한 예비 초등 교사들의 경우 두 검사의 모든 하위 요인에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났으며, 자연공학계열을 선택한 학생들의 평균이 유의미하게 높았다. 과학적 자기 효능감이 과학 동기에 미치는 영향에서 설명력은 66.7%, 68.3%가 나타났고, 인문사회계열을 선택하였던 예비 초등 교사들에게서 설명력이 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 예비 초등 교사들의 과학 동기에 영향을 주는 과학적 자기 효능감의 하위 요인에서 상대적인 중요도는 인문사회계열을 선택하였던 예비 초등 교사들의 경우 과제곤란도선호가, 자연공학계열을 선택하였던 예비 초등 교사들의 경우 자기조절효능감이 가장 크게 나타났다. 따라서 예비 초등 교사들이 과학 관련 교과목에서 높은 성취와 동기를 얻고, 나아가 학교 현장에서 학생들에게 과학을 잘 가르치기 위하여, 과학적 자기 효능감을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육이 필요하다.
