초록

본 연구는 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 과학교과서를 대상으로 교과서에 수록된 과학용어의 명시적, 암시적 교육 사례를 분석하여 과학용어 교육 측면에서 현행 교과서가 가지는 문제점들을 짚어보고 개선 방안을 제안하고자 실시하였다. 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 초등학교 3학년과 6학년, 중학교 1학년, 고등학교 1학년의 과학교과서 8권으로 부터 사용된 과학용어들을 추출하고, 명시적 및 암시적으로 사용된 사례를 수집 및 분석하였다. 연구 결과를 간략하게 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 2015 개정 과학교과서의 초, 중, 고 과학교과서에는 교과서에 포함된 전체 어휘 대비 약 15~30% 정도의 비율로 과학용어가 사용되고 있었는데, 이는 페이지당 수록 과학용어 개수를 기준으로 외국의 경우와 비교했을 때 평균적으로 5배 이상의 많은 분량에 해당한다. 둘째, 과학교과서에 사용된 과학용어들 가운데 명시적 방법을 통해 의미 교육이 이루어지는 과학용어의 비율은 9.7~18.8%로 20%가 되지 않았으며, 자연적으로 나머지 80% 이상의 과학용어들은 암시적 교육 형태로 제시되어 있음을 의미한다. 셋째, 저학년일수록 명시적 용어 교육의 비율이 높아야 함에도 불구하고 오히려 초등학교의 명시적 용어 교육의 비율이 가장 낮았으며, 6학년의 경우는 10%가 되지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to analyze explicit and implicit teaching cases of scientific terms in accordance with the 2015 revised curriculum, pointing out the problems of current textbooks in terms of scientific terms education and proposing method to improve them. Scientific terms used in eight science textbooks of 2015 revised curriculum, third and sixth graders of elementary school, first graders of middle school and first graders of high school were extracted, and cases used explicitly and implicitly were collected and analyzed. Brief summary of the results of the study is as follows. First, scientific terms were used in elementary, middle, and high school science textbooks at a rate of about 15 to 30 percent of the total vocabulary contained in the textbooks, which is on average more than five times larger than those in foreign countries based on the number of scientific terms included on each page. Second, among the scientific terms used in science textbooks, the percentage of scientific terms in which semantic education is achieved through explicit means was 9.7 to 18.8 percent, which naturally means that the remaining 80 percent or more of the scientific terms are presented in the form of implicit education. Third, even though the ratio of explicit term education should be higher in the lower grades, the ratio of explicit term education in elementary schools was lower than 10% in the sixth grade.
