Abstract

This study aims to explore science inquiry teaching efficacy that middle school science teachers implementing science practice-based teaching for one year recognized as necessary for teaching science through science practice. Examining interview data in this study, science inquiry teaching efficacy was identified in both planning and implementing in the areas of managing efficacy, instructional strategy efficacy, and content knowledge efficacy. In planning science inquiry instruction, there is science curriculum management efficacy under managing efficacy. There are the efficacy of outlining science inquiry lesson, efficacy of organizing science practice, efficacy of questioning for science practice, and efficacy of understanding student science practice under instructional strategy efficacy. Under the content knowledge efficacy are contents and science practice understanding efficacy and core ideas efficacy. In implementing science inquiry instruction, managing efficacy includes science practice time management efficacy and science practice classroom culture efficacy. Instructional strategy efficacy includes efficacy of motivating student science practice, efficacy of responding to student science practice, efficacy of stimulating student active thinking, efficacy of student active engagement in argumentation, efficacy of evaluating student participation. No content knowledge efficacy have been identified in implementing science inquiry instruction.

본 연구에서는 과학 탐구 수업을 1년간 수행한 중학교 과학 교사들이 과학 탐구 수업을 하기 위해 필요하다고 하는 효능감이 무엇인지 개별 면담 자료 분석을 통해 밝히고자 한다. 본 연구 참여 교사들이 과학 탐구 수업을 하기 위해서 필요하다고 하는 과학 탐구 교수 효능감은 과학 탐구 수업 계획 단계와 수행 단계에서 다르게 나타났고, 각 단계에서의 효능감은 수업 관리 효능감, 교수 전략 효능감, 교과지식 효능감으로 분류할 수 있었다. 과학 탐구 수업 계획 단계에서의 수업 관리 효능감에는 '과학 탐구 수업을 위한 교육 과정 운영 효능감'이 포함되었고, 교수 전략 효능감에는 '과학 탐구 수업 개요 설정 효능감', '과학 실천 간 논리적 조직 효능감', '과학 실천 별 적절한 발문 계획 효능감', '과학 실천을 하는 학생에 대한 이해 효능감'이 포함되었으며, 교과 지식 효능감에는 '교과 지식 및 과학 실천 이해 효능감', '핵심 개념 설정 효능감'이 포함되었다. 과학 탐구 수업 수행단계에서의 수업 관리 효능감에는 '과학 실천 별 시간 배분 효능감', '과학 실천 교실 문화 정착 효능감'이 포함되었고, 교수 전략 효능감에는 '과학 실천 동기 부여 효능감', '과학 실천 적응적 교수 효능감', '능동적 사고 기회 제공 효능감', '과학 실천 별 논의 참여 독려 효능감', '과학 실천 별 참여도 평가 효능감'이 포함되었다. 본 연구의 참여 교사들은 과학 탐구 수업 수행을 위하여 필요한 효능감으로 교과 지식 효능감은 언급하지 않았다.
