초록

이 연구의 목적은 초등학교 과학과 탐구 수업 실행의 저해 요인에 대한 교사들의 인식을 조사하는 것이다. 이 연구의 목적을 위해 경기도에서 5년 이상 근무경력을 가진 초등 교사 22명을 대상으로 반구조화된 심층 면담을 실시하였다. 면담 질문은 자료의 삼각측정법을 통해 신빙성을 확보할 수 있도록 Seidman(1998)의 면담 단계에 따라 생성하였으며, 예비 면담을 통해 분석적 유도 방법으로 면담 질문을 수정 보완하였다. 면담은 개별로 진행되었으며 모든 면담 내용은 녹음 및 기록하였다. 연구 결과는, 외적 저해 요인과 내적저해 요인으로 분석되었다. 외적 요인으로 교사들이 제시한 내용은 시간 부족, 시설 및 자료의 부족, 학생의 능력 부족, 다인수 학급, 교육과정 상의 문제점, 탐구에 대한 평가의 어려움, 선행학습으로 인한 방해, 안전사고의 위험성, 전문성 향상 기회 부족이었다. 내적 저해 요인으로는 교사의 준비 부족, 탐구 수업의 비효율성, 교사의 배경지식 부족, 교사의 지도능력 부족, 자신감 부족, 인내심 부족 등이었다. 교사들이 제시한 저해 요인들과 그 원인을 심도있게 분석하였고 과학교육학의 관점에서 탐구교육의 활성화를 위한 제언을 하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate elementary teachers' views on the barriers in implementing inquiry-based instruction in science education. For this, semi-structured in-depth interviews were performed with 22 elementary school teachers who have served for more than five years in the Gyeonggi province. The interview questions were developed through triangulation of Seidman's phase to achieve reliability in the interview data, then interview questions were modified and completed through an analytic induction method in pre-interviews. In-depth interviews were performed individually and all the interviews were recorded. The data of teachers' views on the barriers were categorized and analyzed into external and internal factors of teachers. The study found that the external factors referred by teachers included the following; the lack of a unit time, lack of materials and equipments, too many students in a class, problems in science curriculum management, difficulty in the assessment of students' inquiry activities, the students' learning, lack of opportunities for teaching inquiry activities, harmfulness of accidents, and so on. Internal factors included the following; lack of preparation for inquiry activities, lack of self-confidence, lack of patience, and so on. The various barriers presented and their causes were analyzed in detail, and possible efforts in activating inquiry activities in elementary science education were suggested.
