Abstract

The subject of this study were 7th grade three students in a school in Seoul, Korea. They discussed the inquiry problem to be investigated during summer vacation. We analysed the process of how the inquiry problem is revised and improved to more investigative one in the discussion. Student always discussed the method in the light of problem and the existence of the method of a problem affect the endurance of problem. The main subject of a problems are in everyday context, which is the object of critics in discussion. Student respond to the critics in many ways. Main types of reaction to the critics are two kinds. One is a person who change their views to the critics, the other is a person who kept their ideas.

중학교 1학년 학생을 연구 대상으로 방학 중 수행하게 될 탐구 문제에 대하여 토론하도록 하였다. 탐구 문제가 어떻게 수정되고 비판받으며 보다 탐구 가능하게 되는지 3명의 학생을 사례 분석하였다. 학생들은 탐구 문제와 그 탐구 방법을 항상 관련지어 토론하였고 타당한 탐구 방법의 존재 여부는 탐구 문제를 폐기하도록 하는데 큰 영향을 주었다. 또한 탐구문제가 일상적인 것이 많았는데 그 일상성이 비판의 대상이 되기도 하였다. 탐구 문제 및 방법에 대한 비판에 대하여 학생들은 다양한 반응을 보여주었다. 비판에 대하여 자신의 의견을 수정하는 유형과 자기 의견을 끌까지 고수하는 유형으로 크게 나뉘어졌다.
