Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of science-based STEAM program on the positive science experience of elementary school students. The participants of this study were 64 fourth graders of S elementary school located in Gyeonggi-do. They were divided into the experimental group of 30 students and the comparative group of 34 students. The program was reorganized into the STEAM program, which emphasized communication with students in the second semester of 4th grade, centered on 'Earth and Moon' unit which were carried out in total 16 times. The experimental group was giving the science-centered STEAM program, and the comparative group was giving the general instruction model based on the instructional book guidelines. The results of the study are as follows. The science-centered STEAM program showed a further influence on the positive science experience of elementary school students. Based on these results, it can be confirmed that the class using the science-centered STEAM program positively influenced the improvement of students' positive science experience.

본 연구는 초등학교 4학년 과학 '지구와 달' 단원에서 다양한 교과를 과학 교과를 중심으로 재구성한 과학 중심 STEAM(융합인재교육) 프로그램을 개발하여 이 프로그램이 초등학생의 과학긍정 경험(과학관련 태도, 학습정서, 과학 학습 동기, 과학관련 자아개념 및 진로포부)에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위한 것이다. 연구 대상은 경기도 H시에 위치한 S초등학교 4학년 2개 학급이고, 연구반(30명)과 비교반(34명)으로 나누어 교육적 효과를 분석하였다. 과학중심 STEAM 프로그램을 개발하여 연구반에 적용하였고, 비교반은 교사용 지도서 지침에 근거한 일반 수업모형을 적용하여 비교하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 과학중심 STEAM 프로그램은 초등학생의 과학긍정 경험에 긍정적인 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다. 과학긍정 경험의 하위영역인 과학 학습정서, 과학 관련 자아개념, 과학 학습 동기, 과학 진로 포부, 과학 관련 태도 능력의 신장 등에 효과가 있음을 볼 수 있다. 과학중심 STEAM 프로그램이 학생들의 상호작용을 활발하게 하였고, 학습자의 자기 주도적 학습을 유도하였으며, 즐겁게 몰입하게 하여서 과학학습에 대한 어려움이나 불안감에 부딪혀도 포기하지 않는 원동력을 주어서 과학긍정 경험을 이끌어 내는데 유용한 수단임을 알 수 있었다. 과학중심 STEAM 프로그램은 학생들과의 적극적인 의사소통으로 학생이 적극적으로 수업에 임하는 참여형 수업을 가능하게 하였음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 과학중심 STEAM 프로그램을 적용한 수업은 학생의 과학긍정 경험의 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 준다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
