Abstract

This study analyzed discourse types and meaning making strategies used in a secondary beginning science teacher's class. A voluntary middle school science teacher participated in this study, and her instruction was observed and videotaped. The analysis consisted of two parts. First, we categorized the types of discourses occurred in class. Second, we examined her instructional strategies used through meaning making practices at the micro-level. Results indicated that there were five episodes emerged representing different discourse types and meaning making strategies in the beginning teacher's lesson about 'the pathway and property of light'. Conclusion and implications for further study and teacher professional development were presented in the paper.

본 연구의 목적은 중등과학수업에서 나타나는 담화양상과 의미형성 전략을 분석하는 것이다. 연구 참여 교사는 서울의 한 중학교에서 과학을 가르치고 있었으며, 연구에 자발적으로 참여하였다. 연구진은 참여교사의 수업을 관찰하고 비디오 녹화하였고 전사하였다. 자료는 두 단계로 분석되었다. 첫 단계에서는 담화 양상을 범주화하였다. 두 번째 단계에서는 미시적 수준에서 의미형성 전략을 확인하였다. 연구 결과로서, 초임교사의 '빛의 경로와 성질' 단원의 과학 수업담화에서 나타난 담화양상과 의미형성 전략에 관하여 5개의 에피소드가 제시되었다. 연구결과를 토대로, 결론 및 후속연구와 교사전문성 발달에 관한 시사점이 탐색되었다.
