Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine 'orientations toward teaching science (OTS)' of science teachers and to analyze the factors affecting OTS found in middle school science classes. For this purpose, we selected three female teachers as participants named Kim, Ryu, and Park who had various teaching experiences. Semi-structured interviews and classroom observations were gathered for data. After analysis of the characteristics of the teachers' orientations toward teaching science from the data, the factors affecting the orientation were investigated. As results, three types of orientation toward science teaching were observed: inquiry, activity driven, and didactic. These types of orientation toward science teaching were affected by internal factors rather than external factors. The internal factors found out were experience as a student, understanding of the nature of science, curiosity, and reflective thinking.

이 연구의 목적은 중학교 과학수업에서 나타나는 과학교사의 교수지향과 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위하여 김교사, 류교사, 박교사 등 교육 경력이 다양한 3명의 교사들을 연구대상자로 선정하였다. 그리고 반구조화된 면담과 수업 관찰을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 얻은 자료로부터 연구 대상 교사들의 교수지향의 특성을 분석한 후에 교수 지향에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 탐색하였다. 분석 결과, 탐구지향, 학생활동지향, 내용전달지향 등 세 종류의 교수지향이 관찰되었다. 그리고 이러한 교수지향의 특성은 외적 요인보다는, 내적 요인이 영향을 미쳤고 그 요인으로는 학습자로서의 경험, 과학의 본성에 대한 이해, 호기심, 반성적 사고등이 나타났다.
