Abstract

In this study, the effects of reciprocal peer questioning (RPQ) strategy upon students' concept learning were investigated. Ninety-two seventh graders at a co-ed middle school were assigned to control, reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT), and RPQ groups. The students were taught about 'three states of matter' and 'motion of molecules' for 12 class hours. Regardless of students' prior science achievement level, the RPQ group showed the highest scores among the three groups in the test of conceptual understanding, and the RPT group performed better than the control group. For high-level students, the scores of the RPQ group were significantly higher than those of the other groups in the test of the concept application, and those of the RPT group were higher than those of the control group. For low-level students, the scores of the RPT and RPQ groups in the concept application test were significantly higher than those of the control group, while those of the RPT and RPQ groups were not significantly different. These results indicated that verbal interaction by reciprocal tutoring helped students to understand chemical concept learning, and that using self-generated questions was more effective. Therefore, RPQ strategy is suggested to become one of the useful instructional methods to facilitate verbal interaction and concept learning in middle school science instructions.

이 연구에서는 상호동료 질문생성 전략이 학생들의 개념 학습에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 남녀 공학 중학교 1학년 학생 92명을 통제 집단, 상호동료교수(RPT) 집단 및 상호동료 질문생성(RPT) 집단에 배치하고, '물질의 세 가지 상태'와 '분자의 운동' 단원을 대상으로 12차시 동안 수업을 실시하였다. 사전 과학 성취 수준에 관계없이 RPQ 집단의 개념 이해도 검사 점수가 세 집단 중에서 가장 높았고, RPT 집단은 통제 집단보다도 높았으며 이들 차이가 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 상위 학생들의 경우, RPQ 집단의 개념 응용력 점수는 다른 두 집단보다 유의미한 차이로 높았고, RPT 집단은 통제 집단보다 높았다. 하위 학생들의 경우에는 RPT 집단과 RPQ 집단의 개념 응용력 점수가 통제 집단보다 높았으나, RPT 집단과 RPQ 집단의 점수는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 동료 간 교수 활동에 의한 상호작용이 학생들의 화학 개념 학습을 도와주며, 학생들이 직접 문제를 만드는 경우에 더욱 효과적임을 의미한다. 따라서 RPQ 전략을 중학교 과학 수업에서 학생들의 언어적 상호작용과 개념 학습을 촉진하기 위한 유용한 교수 방법의 하나로 제안한다.
