Abstract

He purpose of this study is to design and apply a pilot assessment tools for scientifically gifted and talented elementary school students with lower grades. The assessment tool consists of three parts: homeroom teachers' recommendation, paper and pencil test and performance tests. The tools are verified whether they are suitable for unique characteristics of young children and enable to attract active participation. For suitability check, students' performance tests were inductively analyzed and 30 behavioral patterns were shown which were included and partially exceeded the level of lower elementary students' performance expectation in NGSS. As a result, we concluded that assessment tool developed in this study will be effective in discriminating young pupils' scientific talents. Then for participation check, we compared the number of coding references as an indicator of participation. Two cases were found that students with high interest participated passively in performance tests. We found these 'passive participants' had excessive scientific experiences and extremely narrow region of interest, during the process of complex interpretation between the results of this assessment tool and in-depth interviews with homeroom teachers. We found out in this study that newly developed tools can be used in school scene after modifying and elaboration through accumulation of more case studies.

본 연구에서는 초등학교 저학년 학생의 과학재능을 효과적인 방식으로 판별할 수 있는 도구를 개발하고 시범 적용하였다. 재능 판별도구는 다양한 경로의 정보를 복합적으로 활용하기 위하여 교사 의견서, 지필형 검사, 수행형 검사로 구성하였고, 시범 적용의 결과는 검사의 저학년 적합성 측면과 적극적 참여 유발 측면에서 평가하였다. 우선 저학년 적합도를 확인하고자 참여 학생들이 수행형 검사에서 보인 말과 행동을 귀납적으로 분석하였고, 과학 지식 및 과학탐구수행요소와 관련하여 범주화한 30개의 탐구행동유형은, NGSS 과학탐구수행요소의 k-2학년 수준에 해당되거나 일부 상회하고 있었다. 따라서 본 검사는 저학년을 대상으로 과학 재능을 판별하기에 적합하다고 판단된다. 다음으로, 수행형 검사가 참여 학생의 과학재능을 파악할 수 있을 정도의 충분한 탐구 행동을 유발할 수 있는지를 확인하였다. 수행형 검사에서 나타난 참조문장 수를 참여도의 지표로 삼고 비교한 결과, 과학적 흥미가 높음에도 불구하고 수동적인 태도로 참여한 2건의 사례가 나타났다. 담임교사 의견서에 포함된 1년간의 관찰기록, 지필형 검사 및 수행형 검사의 종합적 비교와 담임교사와의 심층 면담을 통해 원인을 분석한 결과, 과학적 경험이 검사에서 상정한 수준을 훨씬 상회하고 있거나 참여자의 관심 영역이 매우 협소하고 기호의 차이도 커서 제시된 소재에 대해 흥미를 쉽게 잃었던 경우임을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 수행형 검사를 활용한 저학년 과학재능 검사의 가능성을 확인하였으며 다양한 사례의 측적을 통해 교육현장에 실용적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
