초록

본 연구에서는 소리곤충인 왕귀뚜라미를 이용한 체험학습프로그램을 개발하여 초등학생에게 적용함으로써 학습성취도의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구의 대상은 서대문자연사박물관에서 운영 중인 교육프로그램을 신청한 초등학교 2-3학년생 123명이었다. 총 7회에 걸쳐 동일한 검사지를 통해 사전 및 사후 학습 성취도 검사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 학습 성취도는 사전검사보다 사후검사결과에서 평균점수가 높게 나왔으며, 대응표본 t-test 결과 통계적으로도 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 소리곤충을 이용한 체험학습프로그램의 적용은 학생들의 학습 성취도를 향상 시키는데 매우 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 교육현장에서는 다양한 형태의 체험학습프로그램의 개발과 적용이 가능해져 보다 체계적인 프로그램이 적극적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study examines how an experimental-based learning program using singing insects improves the academic achievement of elementary school children. Study subjects were a total of 123 elementary students at their $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ grade who voluntarily participated in an experience-based learning program organized by Seodaemun Museum of Natural History, Seoul. Students were given the same survey questionnaires before and after taking the learning program, and this procedure was repeated in 7 independent replication trials. Result from a paired t-test indicated that the learning program had a positive effect on academic performance, with students gaining significantly higher mean scores in the survey test after taking the program than before. This result suggests that the experience-based learning program using singing insects is effective at improving student's academic achievement. Our study provides a critical impetus for developing a variety of other experience-based learning programs using insects like ours, leading us to anticipate that these programs will be practiced more systematically and actively in the classroom in future.
