Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of problem-solving inquiry teaching using concept sketches on conceptual changes about plate tectonics and science-related attitudes. The subjects of this study were two classes of second-year students of K high school located at Anseong in Gyeonggi Province. Before instruction, a conceptual test was conducted to survey student's preconceptions about plate tectonics. The control group took a traditional lesson, while the experimental group was applied to problem-solving inquiry teaching using concept sketches. After the inquiry instruction, TOSRA (Test of Science-Related Attitudes) was administered to find out changes in science-related attitudes of the two groups. The results of this study are as follows. The experimental group understood concepts of plate tectonics better than the control group, which means that problem-solving inquiry teaching using concept sketches was more effective in students' conceptual understanding. Science-related attitudes of the experimental group showed a significant change in the categories of 'normality of scientists', 'pleasure of science lessons', and 'interests on science as a hobby'. In conclusion, the instruction of problem-solving inquiry using concept sketches produced students' positive changes in conceptual understanding about plate tectonics and science-related attitudes.

본 연구의 목적은 개념스케치를 활용한 탐구 문제 해결 수업이 판구조론에 대한 개념 변화와 과학 관련 태도에 미치는 효과를 알아보는 데 있다. 연구의 대상은 경기도 안성시 소재 K 고등학교 2학년 2개 반이다. 수업 처치 전에, 판구조론에 대한 학생들의 선개념을 조사하기 위해 개념 검사가 실시되었다. 비교 집단은 전통적 수업을, 실험 집단은 개념스케치를 활용한 탐구 문제 해결 수업을 적용하였다. 수업 적용이 끝난 후에 실험 집단과 비교 집단의 과학 관련 태도 변화를 알아보기 위해 과학 관련 태도 검사지(TOSRA)를 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 수업처치에 따른 판구조론에 대한 개념 변화는 비교 집단보다 실험 집단에서 개념 이해도가 더 높게 향상되어 개념스케치를 활용한 탐구 문제 해결 수업이 올바른 개념 변화에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었고, 과학 관련 태도는 실험 집단의 경우 '과학자의 평범성', '과학 수업의 즐거움', '과학에 대한 취미로서의 관심'의 범주에서 통계적으로 유의미한 증가가 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과로 개념스케치를 활용한 탐구 문제 해결 수업이 판구조론에 대한 개념 변화와 과학 관련 태도에 긍정적인 변화를 준다는 것을 확인하였다.
