Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the types of middle school students’ responses to dinosaur extinction inconsistent with the students’ previous conceptions. The types of texts about ‘the cause of dinosaur extinction’ were developed; one that was based on students’ previous ideas, while the other was based on conflicting materials. The students’ responses to the conflict materials were classified into six types: rejection, reinterpretation, uncertainty, belief decrease, partial theory change, and conceptual change. These results show that the use of conflict materials does not always promote conceptual change. Therefore, teachers will be able to help students change their conceptions in science classrooms by understanding students’ various responses to conflict materials and designing instructional strategy concretely.

이 연구의 목적은 기존의 학생들이 가지고 있던 기존이론과 일치하지 않는 공룡의 멸종 관련 불일치자료에 대한 중학생의 반응유형을 조사, 분류하는 것이다. ‘공룡의 멸종원인’이라는 지구과학 소재를 이용해 기존이론과 불일치자료에 해당하는 자료지를 구성하였다. 불일치자료에 대한 학생들의 반응유형을 분석한 결과, 거부, 재해석, 판단불확실, 신뢰감소, 부분적 이론변화, 이론변화 등 6가지로 분류할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 불일치자료를 이용한 개념변화 학습에서 불일치자료의 제시로 반드시 개념변화가 이루어지는 것이 아님을 보여준다. 따라서 교사는 학생들이 불일치자료에 대해 다양한 반응을 나타낼 수 있음을 인식하고, 구체적인 교수전략을 구상하여 처치함으로써 학생들의 개념변화를 도울 수 있을 것이다.
