Abstract

This study investigated the current state of writing in research papers of science education with focus on the translationese and basic Korean grammar, and found a way of improving the Korean language. The science education research have characteristics of both social science and natural science, and of having more quantitative than qualitative research, which could influence the writing of the research paper. The translationese means the conventional expression originated from foreign language other than Korean. The basic Korean grammar includes 'agreement,' 'spelling, word spacing, punctuation mark,' 'causative suffix,' 'use of English or loanword,' and the translationese is divided in 'English,' 'Japanese,' and 'English and Japanese.' The sentences in nine research papers in the 'Journal of the Korean Association for Science Education' were analyzed, and the problematic sentences were discussed and provided with alternatives. The cases with high frequency include '-jeok,' 'use of English,' 'expression of the plural,' 'passive voice of the verb with -hada,' '-go inneun,' '-eul tonghayeo,' '-e daehayeo,' 'gajida,' 'genitive case marker -eui,' 'passive voice with subject of thing,' and 'causative suffix, -sikida.' Based on the results, the characteristics of writing of science education research papers were described as 'writing of quantitative research,' 'objective writing of academic research,' and 'writing of research of foreign origin.' In order to improve the writing of research paper of science education, the science education researcher should pay attention to basic Korean grammar and the translationese, and be familiar with the concrete examples of problematic cases. The results of this study could be used in the education of writing and grammar of Korean language.

과학교육 논문의 글쓰기 실태를 한국어 기초 문법과 번역투의 측면에서 조사하고 그 개선점을 찾아보았다. 과학교육 연구는 사회과학과 자연과학의 특성을 모두 나타내며 양적 연구를 더 많이 하는 특징이 있어 논문 글쓰기 방식에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이 연구에서 번역투는 순수한 한국어가 아닌 외국어에서 유래한 상투적 표현을 말한다. 한국어 기초 문법은 호응의 문제, 맞춤법 띄어쓰기 문장 부호의 문제, 사동표현의 문제, 무분별한 영어 사용의 문제로 정리하였고, 번역투는 영어번역의 문제, 일본어 번역의 문제, 영어와 일본어 번역의 문제로 구분하였다. 이에 따라 한국과학교육학회지 한 호에 실린 논문 9편의 글쓰기 중에서 한국어 기초 문법에 어긋나는 사례와 번역투에 해당하는 사례를 찾아 문제를 논의하고 대안을 제시하였다. 빈도가 높은 문제사례는 '~적', '영어 사용', '복수 표현', '하다류 피동', '~고 있는', '~을 통하여', '~에 대하여', '가지다', '관형격조사 ~의', '사물주어 수동태', '사동(시키다)' 등이었다. 연구 결과에 기초하여 과학교육 소논문의 글쓰기 특징을 '양적 연구의 글쓰기', '학술 연구의 객관적 글쓰기', '외국에서 유래한 연구의 글쓰기' 세 가지로 정리하였다. 과학교육 논문 글쓰기에 나타나는 문제를 개선하기 위해 과학교육 연구자는 한국어 기초 문법과 번역투에 관심을 기울이고, 구체적인 사례와 내용을 숙지할 필요가 있다. 이 연구의 결과는 한국어 글쓰기 교육과 문법 교육에 활용할 수 있다.
