Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the invention-related content of foreign science curricula and investigate the perception of science educators about the degree of relevance between science curriculum and invention. For the analysis of foreign science curricula, we investigated the programs of 10 nations, including the US, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, France, Finland and China. To analyze the relevance between Korean science curriculum and invention, we examined common topics such as science, integrated science, and science inquiry experiment, and investigated that the elements related to invention education were included in each 'achievement standard' and 'teaching and evaluation methods'. Science educators including science teachers were asked to evaluate the degree of relevance of invention education. The results were as follows. First, science curricula in many countries contained invention-related content. Second, science educators recognized that invention education was related to science curriculum, but the systematic connection was insufficient. Third, because it is mainly limited to the results of designing and device design, they recognized that the relevance of invention education, which focuses on various processes such as problem design, inventive techniques and intellectual property, was not revealed. Therefore, it is necessary to be process-oriented when developing invention education teaching-learning methods and related materials in science education for the future.

본 연구의 목적은 국외 과학 교육과정에 제시된 발명관련 내용을 분석하고, 2015 개정 과학과 교육과정과 발명의 관련성 정도에 대한 과학교육자들의 인식을 탐색하는 것이다. 외국 교육과정 분석은 미국, 캐나다, 영국, 일본, 호주, 싱가포르, 뉴질랜드, 프랑스, 핀란드, 중국 등 여러 나라의 과학과 교육과정에서 제시된 발명 관련 내용을 분석하였다. 또한 2015 개정 과학과 교육과정과 발명과의 관련성 분석을 위해서 과학, 통합과학, 과학탐구실험 등 공통이수 과목들에 대한 교육과정 분석을 통해 각 성취기준, 교수-학습 및 평가 방법 등에 발명관련 요소가 포함되어 있는 지 확인하였다. 그리고 과학 교사를 포함한 과학교육자들에게 교육과정과 발명의 관련성 정도를 평가하도록 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같았다. 첫째, 대부분의 나라에서 과학교육과정의 '성격(목표)', '내용' 등에서 과학에서 발명의 중요성을 포함하고 있었다. 둘째, 과학교육자들은 발명이 과학과 교육과정에 관련된 점은 확인되었으나, 체계적인 연계성은 부족하다고 인식하였다. 셋째, 발명교육은 주로 설계 및 장치 고안 등의 결과에 국한되었기 때문에 문제점 착안, 발명기법, 지식재산권 등 다양한 과정 중심의 발명 관련성은 크게 드러나지 않았다고 인식하였으며, 과학교육에서 발명 교수-학습법이나 관련 자료를 개발하고자 할 때는 과정 중심에 초점을 둘 필요가 있다고 인식하였다.
