초록

과학교육자들이 암실 속 과학탐구의 경험을 통해서 시각장애학생의 과학학습상황에 대해 어떠한 인식을 갖게 되는가를 조사하려는 것이 연구의 목적이다. 한국과학교육학회에 참석한 과학교육자 중 24명에게 '얼음의 분자 구조' 및 '눈의 구조와 기능'에 대한 모형의 접촉과 대화를 통해 '암실 속 과학탐구' 활동을 하게 하였다. 활동 전, 후에 설문을 하였고 활동 중의 개방적 대화와 끝난 다음의 자유토론을 녹음하여 전사한 뒤 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 암실 속 과학탐구를 통해 과학 교육자들은 시각장애학생의 과학교육이 필요하며 가능할 뿐 아니라, 이들의 학습상황에 대해 더욱 깊게 이해하게 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 시각장애학생을 지도해 본 경험이 있는 교사들은 자신들이 학생들을 제대로 이해하지 못하고 지도하였음을 알게 되었음을 고백한 바있다. 또한, 참여자들은 암실 경험을 통해 시각장애학생뿐 아니라 학습에 소외된 일반 학생의 입장을 더욱 깊게 이해해야 한다는 생각을 하게 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여 '암실 속 과학탐구' 활동의 교육학적 함의를 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perspectives of science educators on the learning situations of visually impaired students through scientific inquiry in a darkroom. Twenty-four science educators who came to the annual conference of the Korean Association for Science Education volunteered to participate in 'the scientific inquiry in the darkroom' activities. They were encouraged to touch models of 'the molecular structure of ice' and 'the structure of eyes' and to discuss with participants during the activities. Surveys were done before and after darkroom activities, and the discussions during and after the activities were recorded and analyzed. As a result, participants recognized that science education for visually impaired students is both very feasible and necessary. Also, some of them, who have had an experience of teaching blind students and thought that they fully understood the learning situation of the visually impaired, were especially surprised by the fact that they did not actually understand how it was like to be a visually impaired and responded that they were able to more deeply comprehend the learning situation of visually impaired students through these activities. Through this experience, participants also became resolute to try more deeply to understand not only the visually impaired students, but also sighted students with learning disabilities. Based on these results, educational implications of scientific inquiry in the darkroom were discussed.
