Abstract

In this study, the effects of reciprocal peer tutoring strategy on science achievement, science learning motivation, and self-esteem were investigated. Three classes of eighth graders (N=94) at a coed middle school were sampled for the study. They were divided into the comparison group, the cooperative learning (CL) group, and the reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT) group. Students were taught about the separation of mixtures for 13 class hours. Mid-term science examination scores were used as a blocking variable. The two-way ANCOVA results revealed that there were no significant differences among the three groups in the science achievement test, although the scores of the RPT group were higher than those of the comparison group. In all the subtests of the science learning motivation questionnaire, the scores of the RPT group were significantly higher than those of the comparison group. The scores of the RPT group were significantly higher than those of the other groups especially in the confidence part of the science learning motivation questionnaire. In the self-esteem test, the low achievers in the RPT group scored significantly higher than those in the CL group.

이 연구에서는 과학 성취도, 과학 학습 동기, 자아존중감의 측면에서 상호동료교수 전략의 효과를 조사하였다. 남녀 공학 중학교에서 2학년 3학급(94명)을 비교 집단, 협동학습 집단, 상호동료교수 집단으로 배치하였다. '혼합물의 분리' 반원에 대하여 13차시 동안 수업을 실시하였다. 이원 공변량 분석 결과, 과학 성취도 검사에서 상호동료교수 집단의 점수가 비교 집단에 비해 높았음에도 불구하고, 세 집단간에 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 과학 학습 동기의 모든 하위 영역에서는 상호동료교수 집단의 점수가 비교 집단보다 유의미하게 높았다. 특히, 과학 학습 동기의 자신감 영역에서는 상호동료교수 집단의 점수가 다른 두 집단에 비해 유의미하게 높았다. 자아 존중감에서는 상호동료교수 집단 하위 학생들의 점수가 협동학습 집단에 비해 유의미하게 높았다.
