Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an astronomical observing education program that enables high school students to inquire the distance of astronomical bodies based on the research methods (observing open clusters and exploring collected big data) using small telescopes and DSLR cameras. After analyzing the 2015 revised science curriculum, we developed science club activity materials and teacher-student learning contents suitable for high school earth science education. A panel of six teachers and researchers of earth science education and astronomy, participated in developing the educational materials. The validity of the program was verified through establishing the agreement among the panels after in-depth discussions and clarifications. The program, developed with 10 lessons in total, showed high satisfactory content validity (CVI, .89) and conformity of school class (Likert's 5 point scales, 4.17). The feedback of the panels and the Delphi analysis continued to improve the quality of the program. The pilot testing result with high school students (N=9) showed that the students' satisfaction rate was high as 4.48. Using the astronomical observational education program of this study is expected to contribute in improving the convergence educational activity, interest, curiosity, and inquiry ability of students in the universe and the astronomical bodies.

본 연구의 목적은 고등학교 지구과학 교육에서 쉽게 다룰 수 있는 소형 망원경과 DSLR 카메라를 활용하여 산 개성단을 관측하고, 이를 통해 수집한 데이터를 활용하여 천문학자들과 같은 연구 방법으로 산개성단까지의 거리를 탐구할 수 있는 천체 관측 교육 프로그램을 개발하는 것이다. 2015개정 과학과 교육과정을 분석하여 고등학교 지구과학 교과 교육에 적합한 과학 동아리 활동 수업 자료와 교사용-학생용 학습 콘텐츠를 개발했다. 지구과학 교육과 천문학 분야의 전문가(교사) 6명이 패널로 참가하였고, 패널들 간의 상호간 신뢰도를 구축한 후, 프로그램의 타당도를 검증했다. 총 10차시 수업자료로 개발된 프로그램은 내용타당도(CVI. .89)와 현장 적합성 정도(리커트 5점 척도, 4.17) 검사에서 매우 만족스러운 검증 결과를 받았다. 프로그램에 대한 패널들의 의견 반영과 델파이 분석으로 개발 프로그램을 지속적으로 수정-개선하여 완성하였다. 개발된 프로그램을 고등학교 천체 동아리 학생들(N=9)을 대상으로 시범적 예비수업에 적용한 결과, 학생들의 수업 만족도가 4.48로 매우 높았다. 본 연구의 천체 관측 교육 프로그램을 천체 탐구의 융합교육 활동으로 활용한다면 학생들의 우주와 천체에 대한 관심과 호기심, 탐구 능력 증진에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
