Abstract

Problem development is important to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and is key to the creativity and problem-solving skills of successful learners. The purpose of this study is to have PBL classes that effectively materialize problem development stages, and to develop learning using problems suitable for elementary school English Science classes. In this study, the steps for developing the problems are identifying educational content, identifying learners' characteristics, discovering problems, setting up roles and situations, and writing problems. Based on these steps, five PBL problems were developed by selecting a subject suitable for the PBL method of an English Science class, which is one of the English curriculums in elementary schools. Creative thinking, problem-solving skills, presentation skills, confidence, self-directed learning, cooperation, and communication skills are required in the rapidly changing society of the 21st century, rather than teacher-centered instruction, acquiring knowledge for correct answers only, and uniform assessments, which still take place in many English education settings. Therefore, developing problems suitable for PBL learning should be continuously studied.

PBL(Problem-Based Learning)에서 가장 중요하며 학습자들의 창의성 및 문제 해결 능력을 성공적으로 이끄는 열쇠는 문제 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 PBL 수업을 효과적으로 운영하기 위해 문제 개발 절차를 구체화하고 초등학교 영어과학 수업에 적합한 PBL학습의 문제를 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 문제 개발을 위해 교육 내용 파악 단계, 학습자 특성 파악 단계, 문제 발견 단계, 역할과 상황 설정 단계, 문제 작성 단계로 요약할 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제 개발 단계를 바탕으로 Y 초등학교에서 시행되고 있는 영어 교과 과정 중 하나인 영어과학 수업에서 PBL 학습법이 적합한 주제를 선정하여 5개의 문제를 개발하였다. 여전히 많은 영어 교육 현장에서 이루어지고 있는 교사 중심 수업, 모범 답안을 위한 지식 습득, 획일적인 평가가 아닌 21세기 급격히 변화하고 있는 사회에 반드시 요구되는 창의적 사고, 문제 해결 능력, 발표력, 자신감, 자기 주도적 학습 능력, 협동심, 의사소통능력 향상을 위해 PBL 학습법에 적합한 문제 개발은 지속해서 연구되어야 한다.
