Abstract

Recently it has been claimed that character education should be applied not only in ethics but also in other disciplines including science education. With several attempts at character education in previous research on science education, the examination of its requisite and components is needed. This research investigates the necessity and elements of character education to be improved upon in science classes through questionnaires and focus interviews of experts in the field of science education such as secondary school teachers, professors, and researchers. They recognize that character education should be adopted in science education with three backgrounds: scientist activities, the field of secondary school, and inquiry education. Based on moral education and citizenship, elements of character education in science class are comprised of four essential character elements including honesty, sympathy, tolerance, and self-esteem, and seven practical character elements that are divided into personal qualities: sincerity, responsibility, and self-control and social qualities: consideration, openness, communication, and cooperation. Their validity and importance are accepted by experts.

인성교육은 주로 도덕교과에서 교육하는 주제로 인식되어져 왔지만, 최근에는 다른 교과에서도 통합적으로 교육되어야 한다는 주장이 제기되었다. 과학교과에서도 인성교육에 대한 몇 가지 시도가 이루어지고 있으며, 과학교과 고유의 인성교육의 필요성이나 인성구인에 대한 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 중등학교 교사, 과학교과 전공 대학교수, 및 연구소 연구원을 포함한 과학교육 전문가들을 대상으로 설문조사와 포커스 인터뷰를 통해서 인성의 필요성 및 인성구인에 대한 인식을 조사하였다. 전문가들은 과학자들의 활동에 내재된 인성, 학교현장의 요구, 탐구적 지식 습득을 위해 과학교육에서 인성교육이 필요하다고 인식하였다. 인성의 도덕교육적 측면과 시민교육적 측면을 바탕으로, 본 연구에서 본질적 인성의 구인 4가지(정직, 공감, 관용, 자아존중), 실천적 인성의 구인 7가지(개인적 차원; 성실, 책임, 자기조절: 사회적 차원; 배려, 개방성, 소통, 협력)를 제시하였는데, 전문가들로부터 타당성과 중요도를 인정받았다.
