Abstract

The types of inquiry activities included in Life Science II textbooks under the 2015 revised science curriculum were extracted and compared with those of six major and five different publishing companies. The fact that the number of investigation discussions and presentations (IP) increased and the expressions (EX) were included in each unit was interpreted as sufficient to transform the classroom instruction in the 2015 revised science curriculum into student-centered activities. The type of inquiry activities in student-centered activities such as experiment observation, simulation activities, investigation discussions, and presentations accounted for about 41% more than the 27% of 2009 revised science curriculum. However, since data interpretation type is still the largest, it is necessary to reduce the types of data interpretation and to increase the number of types of simulation activities and expressions in order to expand students' creativity and thinking ability when textbook development is needed in the future. In addition to the development of biotechnology, teachers need to reconstruct diverse science materials for each textbook and then use them for students to induce balanced thinking, and try to expand expressive power, creativity, logic, and critical thinking skills.

2015 개정 과학과 교육과정의 생명과학II 교과서에 수록된 탐구활동 유형을 추출하여 6개의 대단원과 5종의 출판사별로 비교 분석하였다. 탐구활동 유형 중 조사 토의 및 발표(IP)의 수가 많이 늘어난 것과 표현하기(EX)가 각 단원마다 수록되어 있다는 것은 2015 개정 교육과정에서 지향하는 교실 수업을 학생중심활동으로 전환하기에 충분한 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 실험 관찰, 모의 활동, 조사 토의 및 발표 등의 학생중심 활동 영역의 탐구활동 유형이 2009 개정 교육과정의 약 27% 정도를 차지한 것보다 증가한 약 41% 정도를 차지하였다. 그러나 여전히 자료 해석 유형이 가장 많기 때문에 앞으로 교과서 개발이 필요할 때 학생들의 창의성과 사고력을 신장시키기 위해서 자료 해석의 유형을 줄이고 모의 활동이나 표현하기의 유형이 더 늘어나도록 해야 할 것이다. 교사들은 생명공학 기술의 발전뿐만 아니라 교과서마다 각기 다른 다양한 과학 소재를 재구성한 후 학생들에게 활용하여 균형 잡힌 사고를 유도하고, 표현력, 창의력, 논리력, 비판적 사고력을 신장시키기 위한 노력이 필요하다.
