Abstract

Integrated concepts that are broad enough to embrace facts, principles, laws, and concepts of multiple disciplines could become the core of integrated education. Integrated concept-centered education enables effective and practical learning. In this study, the Delphi Method was implemented targeting experts in science (physics, life science, chemistry, and earth science) and humanities (history, geology, economics, ethics, and politics) to find out the integrated concept that can be used to design the concept-centered integrated education in the Republic of Korea. 124 experts participated in this survey. Delphi survey was conducted for three rounds. In the first round, an open questionnaire was given to experts to collect feasible integrated concepts in each major field. Then, in the second round experts were asked to select integrated concepts that could be used practically in the field of their major. In the third round, the integrated concept with selection frequency over medium value were given. They were asked to evaluate the applicability of integrated concepts by using the Likert-scale questionnaire. Through this process, content validity was analyzed. As a result, five integrated concepts (change, interaction, space-time, energy, and equilibrium) were selected for the inter-science integration. And thirteen integrated concepts (conflict, community, relationship, structure, power, diversity, culture, change, society, interaction, freedom, justice, and equality) were chosen for the inter-humanities integration. Finally, for the science-humanities integration, seven integrated concepts (structure, diversity, change, interaction, cycle, system, and environment) were determined.

통합개념은 여러 학문 영역의 사실, 원리, 법칙, 개념을 포괄할 수 있는 개념으로 통합교육 설계의 중심으로 활용될 수 있다. 통합개념 중심 교육은 학습의 효율성과 경제성을 제공한다는 면에서 효과적인 통합의 방법이다. 이 연구에서는 우리나라 학교 현장에서 개념 중심의 통합교육을 시행하는데 중심이 될 수 있는 통합개념을 추출하기 위하여 과학 및 인문학 교과의 전문가를 대상으로 델파이 조사를 시행하였다. 124명의 전문가가 델파이 조사에 참여하였다. 델파이 조사는 3차에 걸쳐 진행하였다. 1차에서는 통합개념에 대한 개방형 설문을 시행하였으며 2차 설문에서는 1차에서 선정된 통합개념에 대하여 각 전문가가 속한 영역에서 활용 가능하다고 판단되는 통합개념을 모두 선택하게 하였다. 3차 설문에서는 2차 설문에서 선정된 중앙값 이상의 선택빈도를 갖는 통합개념에 대하여 각 학문영역에서의 활용 가능성을 리커트 척도로 응답하도록 하여 내용타당도를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 과학 교과 내(물리, 생명과학, 지구과학, 화학)의 통합을 시도하고자 할 때 활용할 수 있는 통합개념으로 변화, 상호작용, 시공간, 에너지 평형이 최종 선정되었다. 또한 인문학 교과 내(경제, 역사, 윤리, 정치, 지리)의 통합을 시도하고자 할 때 활용할 수 있는 통합개념으로 갈등, 공동체, 관계, 구조, 권력, 다양성, 문화, 변화, 사회, 상호작용, 자유, 정의, 평등이 최종 선정되었다. 마지막으로 과학과 인문학에서 공통적으로 활용할 수 있는 통합개념으로는 구조, 다양성, 변화, 상호작용, 순환, 시스템, 환경이 최종 선정되었다.
