Abstract

The purpose of this study is to search for the direction of informal science education research by analyzing them from the educational perspectives of informal science education. For this purpose, this study analyzed 144 journals related to informal science education that have been issued in the last six years in terms of educational perspectives. As a result, this study found a tendency for studies to be biased towards a few educational perspectives such as scientific practice participation, emotional enhancement, and understanding of knowledge, while studies on the understanding of nature of science have been conducted in a few cases. This tendency was also found in the analysis of the detailed media in each field, however, the biased educational perspectives varied from media to media. Therefore, in order to understand various aspects of informal science education itself, which is not a subsidy of formal school education, and to deeply understand what each media is trying to pursue, it should be done with various educational perspectives in each media study.

이 연구에서는 앞으로 비형식 과학 학습 연구가 추구해야 할 방향을 모색하기 위하여, 기존의 비형식 과학 학습 관련 연구들이 다루어온 교육적 관점을 각 분야별로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 최근 6년간 발행한 비형식 과학 학습 관련 학술지 144편을 대상으로 하여 각 연구에서의 교육적 관점을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 과학적 실천 참여나 정서 고양, 지식의 이해에 관한 연구가 다수 이루어졌지만, 과학의 본성에 대한 이해에 대한 연구는 드물게 이뤄지는 등 몇 가지 교육적 관점에 치우쳐서 연구가 이뤄진 경향이 있었다. 또한 이러한 경향은 각 분야 세부 매체별에서도 나타났는데, 치우친 양상은 매체별로 다양하게 나타났다. 따라서 형식 교육의 보조가 아닌 비형식 과학 학습 그 자체로서의 다양한 측면을 살펴보고, 추구하고자 하는 바를 깊게 이해하기 위해서는 각 매체별 연구에 있어서 다양한 교육적 관점을 검토해야 할 것이다.
