Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the science gifted students' level of interpreting the oceanic graph and of understanding the oceanic physical concept through analyzing the Temperature-Salinity (T-S) diagram and inferring the SOFAR (SOund Fixing And Ranging) channel. A total of 106 gifted students in the 3rd year of a science gifted high school, using T-S diagrams published in one of the journals of Oceanology, developed descriptive questions asking the depth of the SOFAR channel to conduct the quantitative and qualitative analysis of graph interpretation ability. As a result, there was a big difference in the level of graphs interpretation and concepts understanding for each science gifted students such as interpreting, modeling, and converting, and exposed their alternative concepts about water temperature, salinity, and density. The results of this study will be used to understand the levels of science gifted students' graph interpretation in oceanology, and to provide the basic data for improving the teaching and learning methods of oceanology and also provide basic data for teaching material development related to graph analysis.

본 연구의 목적은 수온-염분도를 분석하여 음속최소층을 유추하는 과정을 통해 과학영재들의 그래프 해석 능력과 해양의 물리적 개념 이해 정도를 살펴보는 것이다. 이에 과학영재학교에 재학 중인 3학년 총 106명의 영재학생을 대상으로 해양학 학술지에 게재된 수온-염분도를 이용하여 SOFAR (SOund Fixing And Ranging) channel의 깊이를 추정하는 논서술형 문항을 만들어 양적, 질적 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과 수온-염분도를 해석, 모델링, 변환하는 등 과학영재마다 그래프를 분석하는 수준에서 차이가 나타났으며 수온, 염분, 밀도 등에 관한 대안 개념도 노출되었다. 본 연구 결과는 과학영재들의 그래프 해석 수준을 이해하고, 그 과정에서 나타난 대안 개념을 토대로 해양 분야 교수-학습 방법 개선 프로그램 및 그래프 분석과 관련된 소재 발굴을 위한 기초 자료를 제공할 것이다.
