Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the alternative models of seasonal changes that preservice secondary teachers presented using the Lakatosian methodology. Participants included 74 undergraduate students who majored in science education within the college of education. Their responses to these questions revealed students' alternative models were inconsistent with scientific models. A great deal of this apparent inconsistency could be explained by assuming that the students used, in a consistent fashion, a alternative core belief on seasonal changes. This study also discussed the core beliefs and the possible sources held by preservice teachers in order to overcome their alternative models. The sources of alternative models may lie in the contents used in textbooks.

이 연구는 예비 중등 교사들을 대상으로 Lakatos의 방법론에 따라서 "계절 변화의 설명"에 대한 대안 모형을 조사하였다. 조사대상은 사범대학 과학교육학부 74명이다. 조사 결과 계절 변화에 대한 예비 중등 교사들의 설명은 과학적 모형과 불일치하는 대안 모형들을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 명백한 불일치의 대안 개념은 어떤 일관성 있는 방향으로, 자신들이 가지고 있는 대안 모형의 핵심 신념을 사용한다고 가정함으로서 설명되어 진다고 우리는 주장한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 예비 교사들의 대안 모형을 극복하기 위해서 먼저 그들이 가지고 있다고 가정할 수 있는 핵심 신념들과 가능한 근원들을 알아보는 것이다. 그러한 근원들 중에서 교과서가 예비 교사의 대안 모형의 근원을 제공할 가능성을 배제할 수는 없다.
