Abstract

이 연구의 목적은 과학적 예상 과정에서 초등학생의 안구운동을 분석하여 과학적 예상의 인지전략을 발견하는 것이다. 예상은 관찰, 측정, 추론과 같은 기초 탐구 과정들을 통해 문제를 해결하는 중요한 탐구 능력이다. 6학년 초등학생 40명이 자발적으로 이 연구에 참여했으며, 과학적 예상 두 과제를 해결하였다. 예상 과제는 점진적으로 변화하는 모형의 다음 모양을 예상하는 것과 14일 간의 기온 그래프를 보고 다음 5일간의 기온을 예상하는 과제였다. 과학적 예상 과정에서 참가자들의 안구 운동을 기록하기 위해 SMI사의 안구운동 추적기를 사용하였다. 40명의 참가자들 중 15명(그룹 A)은 두 과제를 모두 해결하였으며, 17명(그룹 B)은 하나의 과제만 해결하였고, 8명(그룹 C)은 두 과제 모두 해결하지 못했다. 예상 능력이 높은 학생과 낮은 학생의 인지 전략의 차이를 규명하기 위해 그룹 A와 그룹 C의 안구운동을 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 그룹 A는 짧은 시간 동안 문제를 읽고 문제의 주요어에 집중했으며, 단서들을 비교하고 경향성을 찾고 답을 재확인하는 활발한 움직임을 보였다. 그룹 C는 문제 자체를 이해하는데 긴 시간이 걸렸으며, 주요어와 단서를 찾지 못하고, 무의미한 짧고 빠른 도약 안구 운동을 보였다. 둘째, 그룹 A와 C의 안구 운동의 고정, 도약, 시선 경로를 분석한 결과, 6가지의 안구 운동 패턴이 나타났다. 셋째, 안구운동 분석결과를 토대로 참가자들의 인지 전략을 유동전략과 고착전략의 두 가지로 구분하였다. 본 연구에서 규명한 과학적 예상의 인지전략은 교사들이 과학적 예상의 문제 해결 단계에서 학생들이 겪는 어려움을 이해하고, 예상 능력을 향상시키는 프로그램을 개발하는 것에 도움이 될 것이다.
