Abstract

This study was carried out to develop a physics education program for foreign students of university in Korea to improve their ability to major in the field and to prevent them from becoming dropout. The subjects of the study are five Chinese students attending a natural science and engineering college. Prior to the development of the physics education program, the researchers developed basic physics textbooks for the foreign students and questionaries for diagnosis and summative evaluation, and utilized them to apply a total of seven classes. After the application of the classes, the results of the student's diagnosis and summative evaluation, the teacher's diaries, the observer's diaries, and the transcripts were analyzed by triangulation method. In addition, Nvivo12 was used for the analysis of the teacher's and observer's diaries to help with qualitative analysis. The results of the study are as follows: First, the oder and contents of physics education program for students of the natural science and engineering college were presented in detail, and basic physics textbooks and tools for diagnosis and summative assessment were developed. Second, as a result of the analysis of the diagnosis and summative assessment results of the program, the students' basic physics achievement improved by an average of 40 points due to the application of the developed program. Third, as a result of the application of the program using Nvivo12, meaningful node and actual cases were extracted. There were 10 types of nodes created such as understanding of the students, teaching method, rate of the participation, level differences, language problems, relevance to majors, curriculum and methods of education in the country of origin, cooperative learning, and interest inducement. The researcher provided suggestions on physics education methods for students of science and engineering colleges in Korea based on the related cases.

본 연구는 국내의 이공계 대학 유학생들의 전공기초 능력 향상 및 중도탈락 예방을 위한 물리교육 프로그램을 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구의 대상은 한국의 이공계 대학에 재학 중인 중국 유학생 5명으로, 자연과학대학 또는 공과대학에 소속되어 있다. 연구자는 물리교육 프로그램 개발에 앞서 5차시 분량의 대학 기초 물리 교재와 진단 및 총괄 평가 문항을 개발하였으며, 이를 활용하여 총 7차시의 수업을 실시하였다. 수업 적용 후 학습자의 진단 및 총괄 평가 결과, 교수자의 수업일지, 수업참관자 일지, 수업전사본 등을 활용하여 삼각검증 방법으로 분석하였다. 또한 질적인 분석을 돕기 위하여 수업일지와 수업관찰지의 분석에는 Nvivo12가 활용되었다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 이공계 대학의 유학생을 위한 물리교육 프로그램의 순서와 내용을 구체적으로 제시하였고, 대학 기초 물리 교재와 진단 및 총괄 평가 도구를 개발하였다. 둘째, 프로그램의 사전-사후 평가 결과 분석 결과, 개발된 프로그램의 적용에 따라 유학생들의 대학 기초 물리 학업 성취가 평균 40점 향상되었다. 셋째, Nvivo12를 활용한 프로그램의 적용 결과, 의미 있는 노드 생성 및 사례가 추출되었다. 생성된 노드는 총 10종으로, 수업방법, 수업이해도, 수업참여도, 수준차이, 언어문제, 전공과의 관련성, 출신국의 교육과정 및 교육방법, 협력학습, 흥미유발 등이며, 이와 관련된 사례를 토대로 국내 이공계 대학의 유학생들을 위한 물리교육 방법에 관한 시사점을 제공하였다.
