Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate pre-service elementary teachers' views of the law of action-reaction by examining their degrees of understanding and Typically-Perceived-Situations (TPS). Data were collected from 177 Grade 3 pre-service elementary teachers. The results of analyzing these data show: First, the participants did not sufficiently understand about the law of action-reaction, and their degrees of understanding were different depending on the situation provided in the questionnaire. Second, in relation to the TPSs of the law of action-reaction, the participants thought of irrelevant situations to the law of action-reaction such as "a situation generated by inertia" as well as commonly relevant ones such as "a person pushing a wall", and had somewhat biased TPSs in terms of 'action type' and 'result motion type' of action-reaction. Finally, several suggestions on the science education for promotion of understanding about the law of action-reaction were given.

본 연구는 초등예비교사를 대상으로 작용 반작용 법칙에 대한 이해 정도와 전형적 인식상황의 조사를 통해 초등예비교사의 '작용과 반작용'에 대한 개념을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 수행하였다. 조사는 초등예비교사 3학년 177명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 작용 반작용 법칙에 대해 초등예비교사들이 이해하는 정도는 충분하지 않았으며, 상황에 따라 이해의 정도가 달랐다. 둘째, 초등예비교사들은 작용 반작용 법칙과 관련하여 '사람이 벽을 미는 상황'과 같은 일반적인 상황과 함께, '관성에 의한 상황'과 같이 관련이 없는 상황도 전형적으로 떠올리는 경향이 있었다. 또, 작용 반작용의 작용 유형과 결과적인 운동 유형을 다소 편중되게 생각하는 경향이 있었다. 끝으로 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 작용 반작용 법칙에 대한 이해 제고와 관련하여 몇 가지 제언을 하였다.
