Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cognitive process of student's modeling on a modeling-emphasized argument-based general chemistry experiment. The participants were twenty-one freshman students. Six topics were carried out during the first semester and semi-structured interview was implemented at the end of the semester. Semi-structured interview questions were used to elicit elements of effective model, modeling strategies, difficulties that students have experienced during modeling, and resolving the difficulties that students have experienced during modeling. All student interview data were collected and transcribed. The results of this study are summarized as follows: (1) Elements of effective model were considered to be visual expression, persuasive explanation, and rhetorical structure. (2) Modeling strategies included arranging important keywords or writing the outline, and during the modeling process, students used various data, suggested data after reconstructing, suggested definitions and explanations of core concepts, used meta-cognition, and considering rhetorical structure. (3) Difficulties students have experienced during modeling could be categorized as lack of modeling strategy and understanding. (4) Resolving difficulties students have experienced during modeling could be categorized as modeling strategy and understanding. Students learn the strategy by feedback, modeling experience, evaluation of experimental report, models which they constructed previously and references, and the understanding of contents were achieved through arguments which occurred during classes and during the process of writing the experimental reports. These results suggest that when using modeling in teaching and learning, the argument-based learning strategy can be effective in enhancing students' modeling by helping them to understand meta-modeling with scientific concepts.

이 연구는 모델링을 강조한 논의 기반 일반화학실험 활동에서 나타나는 학생들의 모델링 변화와 변화 과정 및 모델링에서 나타나는 학생들의 인지과정에 대한 탐색을 통해 논의에 바탕을 둔 교수 전략이 모델링에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지와 변화의 이유를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 일반화학을 수강하는 사범대학 화학교육과 1학년 학생 21명을 대상으로 모델링을 강조한 논의 기반 일반화학실험 여섯 개 활동을 1학기 동안 적용하였고, 학생들의 모델링에서 나타나는 인지과정을 탐색하기 위해 학생 인터뷰 자료를 수집하였다. 모델링 수행에서 나타나는 인지과정의 분석 결과, 효과적인 모델의 요소에 대해 학생들은 시각적 표현, 설득력 있는 설명의 제공, 수사학적 구조의 측면에서 응답하였다. 모델링 과정에서 사용한 전략에 대해서 학생들은 모델링 수행 전과 수행과정의 두 가지 측면에서 응답하였다. 모델링 수행 전에는 실험 보고서를 작성하는 과정에서 중요한 키워드 등을 미리 정리해 두거나 개요를 따로 작성하고 실제 모델링 수행과정에서는 다양한 자료를 이용, 자료를 재구성하여 제시, 핵심개념에 대한 정의와 설명을 제시, 수사학적 구조를 고려, 메타인지를 이용하는 전략을 사용하였다. 모델링 과정에서에서 겪는 어려움에 대한 학생들의 응답은 모델링 전략의 부재, 이해 부족의 두 가지 범주로 나눌 수 있었으며, 이러한 어려움의 해소에 대한 학생들의 응답은 모델링 전략의 부재와 내용 이해 부족으로 나타나는 어려움을 해소하기 위해 어떻게 모델링 전략을 습득하고 내용을 이해하는지로 구분되었다. 학생들은 피드백 단계, 모델링 경험, 실험 보고서에 대한 평가, 자신이 이전에 작성한 모델, 참고문헌을 통해 전략을 습득하며, 내용에 대한 이해는 수업 단계에서 나타나는 논의 과정과 실험 보고서 작성 과정을 통해 이루어졌다. 이러한 결과로부터 모델링을 교수학습에 이용할 때 논의에 기반을 둔 학습전략이 정신 모델을 검증하고 수정하여 표현된 모델로 구현하는 과정에 도움을 주고 과학 개념과 더불어 메타모델링 지식의 이해를 도와 학생들의 모델링 발달에 영향을 줌을 보여 주었다.
