Abstract

In this study, the implementation of science classes by pre-service elementary teachers were explored to foster the digital literacy of elementary students. To this end, interviews were conducted with four university students in their 4th year of study at 'G' Education University in Gwangju, also their teaching plans and class implementation videos were analyzed. Interview questions were divided into the science class planning stage, the science class implementation stage, and the post-science class implementation stage, and the interview contents were transcribed and categorized after recording. The results of the study are as follows. First, in the science class planning stage, pre-service elementary teachers considered the degree of elementary students' familiarity when choosing digital teaching and learning tools to foster digital literacy. While writing the teaching plan, it was difficult to set standards related to fostering digital literacy. Second, while pre-service elementary teachers had positive experiences such as improving students' participation in classes and increasing student-specific guidance through real-time data sharing, class time was exceeded due to poor use of digital teaching and learning tools. Third, after teaching their science classes, pre-service teachers presented reflections and requirements for the class. Based on these results, the necessity of developing digital literacy for pre-service elementary teachers and the need to improve the curriculum of education university were proposed.

본 연구에서는 초등학생의 디지털 소양 함양을 위한 예비 초등교사의 과학 수업 실행을 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 광주광역시의 ㄱ교육대학교 4학년 학생 4명을 대상으로 면담을 실시하였고, 교수학습과정안과 수업 실행 영상을 분석하였다. 면담 질문은 과학 수업 계획 단계와 과학 수업 실행 단계, 과학 수업 실행 후 단계로 구분하였고, 면담 내용은 녹음 후 전사하여 범주화하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과학 수업 계획 단계에서 예비 초등교사들은 초등학생의 디지털 소양 함양을 위해 디지털 교수학습 도구를 선택할 때 해당 주제의 활동과의 관련성, 초등학생에게 익숙한 정도 등을 고려하였다. 교수학습과정안을 작성하면서 디지털 소양함양 관련 기준을 설정하는 데 어려움을 겪었다. 둘째, 과학 수업을 실행하면서 예비 초등교사들은 학생의 수업 참여도 향상, 실시간 자료 공유를 통한 학생별 지도 가능성 증가 등의 긍정적인 경험을 했던 반면에, 디지털 교수학습 도구를 원활하게 활용하지 못해서 수업 시간이 초과되기도 하였다. 셋째, 과학 수업 후에 예비교사들은 수업에 대한 성찰 및 요구사항을 제시하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 예비 초등교사들의 디지털 소양 개발 필요성과 교육대학 교육과정 개선의 필요성을 제안하였다.
