본 연구에서는 교육대학교 초등과학교육론 수업에서 과학 활동지 만들기 수업 프로그램을 통해 초등 예비교사들의 과학에 대한 태도와 과학 탐구에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 교육대학교 3학년에 재학중인 예비교사 141명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과학 탐구활동지 만들기 수업 프로그램은 초등 예비교사들의 과학에 대한 태도를 개선시켰으며, 과학에 관한 지식을 갖추는 것이 중요하다는 인식에 도움을 주어 장래 학교에서 과학을 가르치는 일을 더 즐거운 것으로 느끼게 만들 수 있었던 것으로 판단된다. 둘째, 과학 탐구활동지 만들기 수업 프로그램은 초등 예비교사들의 과학 탐구에 대한 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 탐구 기반 학습 유형을 중요한 과학 수업의 과정으로 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 과학 탐구활동지 만들기 수업 프로그램이 현장에 가서 어떠한 도움이 될 수 있는지에 대한 개방형 질문 결과, 수업모형의 활용 방안 측면에서 도움이 된다는 반응이 가장 많았고, 초등학생들의 과학적 지식이나 탐구과정 이해에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각하고 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to develop performance assessment materials of scientific inquiry skills on 62 scientific activities in elementary science textbook for third and fourth grades. For this study, a total of 318 elementary teachers were sampled and surveys were carried out to examine the status of performance assessment of scientific inquiry skills in school. The classification system of assessment methods by Hart(1994) was also analyzed to create assessment strategy of scientific inquiry skills for elementary school students. Based on the quantitative data analysis, literature study and existing performance assessment materials analysis, performance assessment materials were developed and applied to science classes for third and fourth grades. Teachers and students were interviewed after the classes for asking about merits and improvements and the performance assessment materials were revised.

Research into scientific inquiry methods indicates that providing various types of inquiry methods can enhance students' science loaming in terms of providing students with actual science in various ways' more so than exposure to one type of inquiry method. This article develops a framework for an analysis of scientific inquiry types based on the nature of scientific enterprise. We selected three types of scientific inquiry: these were minds-on activities, hands-on activities, and experimenting. Elementary science textbooks in the 7th national science curriculum were analysed according to the following subject areas; earth science, physics, biology, and chemistry. A total of 61 teaching units from 3rd through 6th grade science textbooks were investigated. The frequencies of each type of scientific inquiry method were slightly different among four science subject areas. The most frequent type which appeared in physics and chemistry was the hands-on type, while the minds-on activity type was the most frequent type which appeared in earth science and biology.

본 연구의 목적은 과학영재들의 과학탐구문제발견 능력을 신장시키기 위한 지도방향을 제안하는 것이다. 이를 위해서 낮게 구조화된 탐구 상황과 높게 구조화된 탐구 상황에서의 문제발견 활동 중에 과학영재들이 생성한 과학탐구문제의 특성에 대해 심층적인 분석을 하였다. 분석한 결과, 탐구목적에 따른 유형별 빈도는 탐구 상황에 따라 차이를 보였으나, 두 활동에서 생성된 대부분의 탐구문제들은 7개의 동일한 유형(측정, 방법, 원인, 가능성, 무엇, 비교, 관계)으로 나타났다. 탐구문제에 언급된 과학적 개념의 빈도수는 높게 구조화된 탐구 상황에서의 문제발견 활동(PFAWIS)이 낮게 구조화된 탐구 상황에서의 문제발견 활동(PFAIIS)보다 더 많았으나, 과학적 개념의 다양성은 PFAIIS가 PFAWIS보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 교사는 첫째, 낮게 구조화된 과학적 탐구 상황에서의 과학문제발견 활동의 기회를 자주 부여해야한다. 둘째, 일반 과학 실험 중에도 새로운 탐구문제를 발견할 수 있음을 강조하고, 실험 중에 생성한 탐구문제들에 대해 토의하는 시간을 자주 가질 필요가 있다. 셋째, 과학탐구문제를 최소한 7개 이상의 유형별로 생성할 수 있도록 지도하도록 한다.

The purpose of this study was to develop performance assessment materials of scientific inquiry skills on sixty scientific activities in elementary science textbook for fifth and sixth grades. For this study, a total of 500 elementary teachers were sampled and surveys were carried out to examine the status of performance assessment of scientific inquiry skills in school. The classification system of assessment methods by Hart(1994) was also analyzed to create' assessment strategy of scientific inquiry skills' for elementary school students. Based on the quantitative data analysis and literature study, performance assessment materials were developed and applied to science classes for fifth and sixth grades. Teachers and students were interviewed after the classes for asking about merits and improvements and the performance assessment materials were revised. This study can provide elementary school teachers with reliable sources for performance assessment of scientific inquiry skills utilized in their science classes.

This is very important to know teachers' and children's scientific knowledge, scientific inquiry skills and cognitive abilities for better education of children. The subjects of this study are about 60-150 in each group. There are instruments used ; To test scientific knowledge a test is developed by the author. To test scientific inquiry skills, the test developed by Eun Kyung Yong is used. To test cognitive abilities, GALT, short version is used. There are results; Firstly, inservice teachers' scientific knowledge is better than preservice teachers', which is better than children'. Secondly, inservice teachers' scientific inquiry skills nearly equal preservice teachers', which are better than children'. Thirdly, preservice teachers' cognitive abilities nearly equal inservice teachers', which are better than children'. Fourthly, teachers' (special area-science) cognitive abilities are better than teachers' (special area-vidual art, music, physical education). Elementary teachers in Korea have fundamental abilities to teach elementary children.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of science activities using drawing on young children's scientific inquiry competences and scientific attitudes. The subjects of this research were a total of 40 young children at age 5 from two classes in G and C child care center which located in G city. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups. The collected data were analyzed by t-test using SPSS program. The results of this study were as follow: First, experimental group which conducted the science activities using drawing showed significantly higher improvement in sub-factors of scientific inquiry competences, 'perseverance', 'creative', 'critical', and 'volunteering'. Second, experimental group which conducted the science activities using drawing showed significantly higher improvement in sub-factors of scientific attitudes, 'observing', 'measuring', and 'discussion'. Therefor, it might be concluded that science activities using drawing contributed to the development of scientific inquiry competences and scientific attitudes of young children.

이 연구는 자유주제 과학탐구 과정에서 일어나는 인지수준 향상 정도 및 탐구단계별 상호작용을 분석함으로써, 자유주제 과학탐구에 대한 질적 이해를 돕고자 하였다. 자유주제 과학탐구는 인지수준이 과도기(2B/3A)이고, 학습동기수준이 심층학습형, 심층능력형인 학생들의 탐구능력 신장에 긍정적인 효과가 있었다. 또한 학생들은 탐구과정 중 주제 및 가설설정단계에서 어려움을 겪으며, 자유탐구가 진행됨에 따라 논의의 기술은 증가하나, 상호작용의 질적 향상은 쉽게 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 심층학습형은 모둠 내에서 사고의 정교화를 촉진하는 역할을 하고 있었다. 심층능력형은 가장 주도적으로 상호작용에 참여하여 논의를 이끄나, 탐구결과에 대한 집착으로 과정적 측면을 소홀히 하는 경향이 있었다. 그리고 피상능력형은 하위수준의 상호작용이 많아서 논의를 심화시키지 못하나, 자유탐구가 진행됨에 따라 점차 상위수준의 상호작용이 증가하는 긍정적인 변화를 보였다. 이 연구로부터 자유주제 과학탐구 활동의 특성 및 자유주제 과학탐구 활동의 진행과 모둠구성에 대한 시사점을 얻을 수 있었으며, 이에 대해 논하였다.
