본 연구의 목적은 중학교 과학 교과서에서 물리 개념 설명을 위해 사용된 비유에 대해 학생들의 평균적인 이해도는 어떠한지, 또 어떤 유형의 비유를 더 잘 이해하는지를 조사하는 것이었다. 비유의 유형은 표현 방식에 따라서는 언어적 비유와 그림 비유로 분류 될 수 있고, 비유물에 대한 설명 정도에 따라서 단순 비유와 부연 비유로 분류될 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 비유를 언어적이면서 단순한 비유, 언어적 이면서 부연된 비유, 그림을 이용하면서 단순한 비유, 그림을 이용하면서 부연적 비유 등 4 종류로 분류하였다. 본 연구를 위해 울산시의 한 중학교에서 평균수준의 한 학급 학생 46명이 표집되었으며 이들에게 본 연구에서 개발된 4가지 유형의 비유 이해도 조사 도구가 투입되었다. 이 도구는 비유의 각 유형당 2문항씩 8개의 문항으로 구성되어 있으며, 5명의 과학교육 전문가에 의해 문항의 수준과 내용 타당성에 대해 타당도를 검증받았다. 본 연구에 의해 평균적으로 50% 정도의 학생만이 중학교 과학 교과서에 제시된 비유에 대해 이해하고 있으며, 그림에 의한 단순한 유형의 비유를 다른 유형의 비유들보다 더 잘 이해하고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The purpose of this study was to observe five teachers' science classes and analyze the patterns of their analogies. To analyze the data, investigator triangulation was used, and the results were as follows: First, among the patterns of analogy used, expressions of similes and metaphors were utilized by all the teachers; teachers with over ten years' experience used adult's daily phrases, and teachers with under ten years' experience tended to use anthropomorphism. Regarding pictorial analogies, these manifested themselves in the sixth period, while teachers with over ten years' experience drew a simple picture about circulation of water, teachers with under one year's experience made additional materials for their analogy and they put an emphasis on the concept of the circulation itself. Teachers tended to use analogs according to their interests; teachers who majored in science education used pictorial analogies for further study. Second, the patterns emerging from the correspondence of the analogy manifested themselves in all the teachers equally, but they have no relation to the teacher's background. Third, routine analogy and artificial analogy appeared equally in consideration of degree of artificiality among the patterns of the analogies used. Regarding routine analogy, most teachers tended to look for analogs from things and experiences from themselves or their own backgrounds rather than those of the students. Regarding artificial analogies, teachers tended to purposely choose analogs to help students to understand; energetic teachers sometimes failed to choose appropriate analogs because they approached the topic with too much intensity. While a teacher who lacked experience and interest in science used many expressions of analogy, a teacher who felt some degree of constraint rarely used expressions of analogy. Fourth, most of the teachers used analogs familiar to their own experiences but students often found understanding these analogs difficult. Therefore, teachers need to make greater efforts to utilize analogs which are especially familiar to students when they attempt to explain science concepts.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the analogies used in elementary science textbooks. For this, the analogies were classified into the following criteria : analogy-related contents included in elementary science text-books, types of representation style, and the role of analogy. The results of this study were as follows : the total of analogies was 154 in the 6th and 166 in the 7th curriculum. Most of them were expressed in textbooks and experimental texts. More structural/functional, verbal/pictorial, concrete/concrete, concrete/abstract, simple and enriched analogies were included in the science textbooks of the 7th than those of the 6th. Most of them took the role as an aid to understanding. According to the domain of science content, energy, material, life domains were increased in the 7th than the 6th, with the exception of the earth science domain. The ratio of used analogies in the life domain was higher than the others, and in the material domain it was the lowest. From these results, it can be said that, in order to help students' understanding, further research into the application of analogies is needed.
