Abstract

This study investigated the influences of situational interest, attention, and cognitive effort on drawing as a method to assist students to connect and integrate multiple external representations provided in learning chemical concepts. Seventh graders (N=178) at two coed middle schools were taught about the "Boyle's Law" and the "Charles's Law" for two class hours through drawing. They observed macroscopic phenomena through demonstrations. After these observations, they drew their mental model from the external verbal representation, and then compared their drawings with external visual representation. The tests assessing situational interest, attention, cognitive effort, and conceptual understanding were administered as post-tests. Correlation and path analyses supported a causal model which situational interest had a positive direct effect on attention to the drawing. Attention led to conceptual understanding directly as well as through cognitive effort. These results suggest that situational interest may be induced by drawing first of all, and attention and cognitive effort may be direct causes of conceptual understanding in drawing. Educational implications are discussed.

이 연구에서는 화학 개념 학습에서 학생들에게 제공되는 다양한 외적 표상들 간의 연계와 통합을 촉진하는 방안으로서의 그리기에 미치는 상황 흥미, 주의 집중, 인지적 노력의 영향을 조사하였다. 2개 남녀공학 중학교 1학년 178명을 대상으로 '보일의 법칙'과 '샤를의 법칙'에 대해 2차시 동안 그리기를 활용한 수업을 실시하였다. 학생들은 거시적인 현상을 시범 실험을 통해 관찰한 후, 제공된 언어적 정보에 대한 자신의 정신 모형을 그림으로 그리고 이를 시각적 정보와 비교하였다. 사후 검사로 상황 흥미, 주의집중, 인지적 노력, 개념 이해도 검사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 상황 흥미는 주의집중에 직접적인 영향을 주고, 주의집중은 직접적으로 또는 인지적 노력을 경유하여 개념 이해도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 결과는 그리기에서 처음으로 유발되는 것은 상황 흥미이며, 주의집중과 인지적 노력이 그리기를 통한 개념 이해에 직접적인 영향을 주는 요인일 수 있음을 시사한다. 이에 대한 교육적 함의를 논의하였다.
