초록

이 연구의 목적은 지구계와 환경 문제에 대한 초등 영재학생들의 인식을 조사하는 것이다. 대학부설영재교육원 소속 28명의 초등학교 학생들을 대상으로 13개의 지구 환경 문제에 대한 지식수준, 심각성, 확실성, 체험 가능성에 관한 인식을 조사하였다. 학생들이 그린 지구 이미지를 분석하기 위하여 Draw-An-Earth Test 체크리스트를 개발하여 사용하였으며, 이미지를 구성하는 요소와 이미지에 담긴 의미를 분명하게 파악하기 위하여 인터뷰를 실시하였다. DAET 체크리스트와 인터뷰 분석 결과 지구계의 구성요소에서 80개, 지구계의 상호작용에서 11개, 지구계의 소양 영역에서 4개의 요소가 확인되었다. 학생들은 지식 수준과 관련하여 대기 오염, 지구온난화, 수질 오염에 가장 잘 알고 있다고 하였으며, 지구온난화, 대기오염, 수질 오염을 가장 심각한 문제라고 하였다. 또한 산성비, 대기 오염, 수질 오염에 대하여 확실성이 높게 나타났으며, 산성비, 대기오염, 산림파괴에 대하여 체험가능성이 높게 나타났다. 이 연구를 통하여 교수 학습 측면에서 초등 과학 영재들이 지구계와 환경문제에 대하여 어떻게 인식하고 있는지 이해할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate elementary school science gifted students' perceptions about Earth systems and environmental problems. A total of 28 students in the attached center for science gifted education to the university participated in this study. Through the survey, participating students were asked to respond to their self-reported knowledge level, the perceived danger levels, certainty, and tangibility of the selected 13 Earth environmental problems. The DAET (Draw-An-Earth Test)-Checklist were developed and used to analyze the images of the Earth drawn by students. Additional interviews were conducted to clarify the meanings and components of students' image. Results indicated that a total of 80 components regarding Earth systems, 11 components of Earth systems interaction, and 4 components related to Earth systems literacy were identified through the DAET-Checklist and additional interviews. Regarding the students' self-reported knowledge level, they reported that they were most knowledgeable about air pollution, global warming, and water pollution. and they also recognized global warming, air pollution, and water pollution as the most dangerous problem. Results indicated that participants were certain that acid rain, air pollution, and water pollution were problematic, and that acid rain, air pollution, and forest desertification were tangible issues. It is anticipated that this study contributes to understanding the elementary school science gifted students' perceptions toward the selected Earth systems and environmental problems.
