초록

과학 교실에서 학생들이 학습의 중심이 되기 위해서는 수업에서 학생들이 목소리를 표현하고 권위를 갖도록 할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 우리는 '애완동물 안내문 만들기' 수업을 개발하였고, 이 수업에서 초등학생들이 수업의 주체로서 자신들의 역할을 어떻게 인식하고 권위를 드러내는지 탐색하였다. 서울시 G초등학교 4학년 2개 학급학생들을 대상으로 수업을 진행하였으며, 학생들의 활동은 모두 녹음 녹화되었다. 연구 결과, 학생들은 애완동물 안내문을 만드는 소집단 활동과, 전체 학생을 대상으로 발표하고 질의응답하는 전체 발표에서 다른 양상으로 인식적 권위를 드러내는 모습을 보였다. 우선 소집단 활동에서 학생들은 자신들이 가져온 다양한 자원을 활용하고 선별하였으며, 공적인 공간에 적합하도록 자원으로 변형시키는 것과 같이 '애완동물 전문가'로서 권위를 표현하고자 하였다. 전체 발표에서는 발표자와 청중이라는 입장으로 구분되어 발표자는 '애완동물 전문가'로 인정을 받고, 청중은 '검증하는 사람'으로 발표자를 평가하면서, 적극적으로 권위를 검증받고 평가하는 모습을 보였다. 또한 전체 발표의 진행을 주도함으로써 활동의 완전한 주도권을 잡고자 하였다. 연구 결과는 학생 중심으로의 교육 환경 변화에 따른 과학 교육의 전략을 모색하는데 시사점을 제공한다.

If we, as educators, want to put students at the center of learning in science classroom, we must let students express their voices and exercise authority. To do this, we developed a classroom activity about 'Making a pet poster', and then we explored how elementary school students perceived their roles and expressed their authority during this activity. Fourth grade students from an elementary school in the city of Seoul participated in the activity, which was videotaped and recorded. We found that students expressed their epistemic authority differently in small group activities and in whole group discussions. In small group activities, they desired to show their authority as "pet experts" by using and selecting various resources from their everyday lives and transforming those resources into suitable forms in public spaces. Meanwhile, in whole group discussions, participants were classified as either presenters or audience members to verify their authority in regard to the pet poster activity; presenters desired to achieve recognition as "pet experts," and audience members assessed the presenters as "testers." In addition, they expressed authority as teachers by leading the whole group discussions. Based on these findings, this paper suggests the implications for new educational strategies to foster a student-centered learning environment.
