Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the cognitive achievement characteristics by group of achievement levels in the PISA 2018 science domain compared to the results of the PISA 2015, and to compare and analyze the 'epistemic' knowledge in the revised curriculum 2009 and in the revised curriculum 2007. The average correctness rates in PISA 2015 and PISA 2018 were analyzed by sub category of the evaluation frame in the PISA scientific domain. In the competencies domain, especially, the average correct answer rates of 'evaluating and designing scientific inquiry' were the lowest in medium and lower groups, but the rates rose in all achievement groups compared to PISA 2015, which is encouraging. Although the answer rates were low for both 'living system' knowledge and 'epistemic' knowledge in the knowledge domain, the average answer rates of the upper and middle groups increased in 'epistemic' knowledge compared to PISA 2015. The changes in the curriculum experienced by students participating in PISA were analyzed in relation to the 'evaluating and designing scientific inquiry' competency and 'epistemic' knowledge, which increased in average correct answer rates. In terms of understanding science, the "What is science?" unit that explicitly presents epistemic knowledge, and nature of model in inquiry activities, were explicitly presented in the revised curriculum 2009. In terms of understanding the process of justifying scientific knowledge, the number of inquiry activities increased, scientific explanations based on experimental results strengthened, and the "Science and Human Civilization" unit was introduced to help students to understand STS while simultaneously conducting arguments. These findings confirm the educational performance of groups by achievement level in the PISA 2018 scientific domain and suggest that the direction of education relates to epistemic knowledge in Korea's Science curriculum.

본 연구의 목적은 PISA 2015 결과와 비교하여 PISA 2018 과학 영역에서 성취수준 집단별로 과학적 소양 성취 특성을 알아보고, PISA 2018에서 PISA 2015보다 정답률이 특히 상승한 '인식론적' 지식에 대해 PISA 참여 학생들이 경험한 교육과정을 중심으로 비교 분석하는 것이다. PISA 2015와 PISA 2018 평균 정답률을 PISA 과학 영역 평가틀 차원별 하위영역별로 분석하였다. 특히, '역량' 차원에서 중집단과 하집단에서 '과학 탐구의 평가 및 설계' 정답률이 가장 낮았지만, PISA 2015과 비교하여 모든 성취집단에서 정답률이 상승하였다는 점에서 고무적이다. '지식' 차원에서 '생물계' 지식과 '인식론적' 지식에서 정답률이 낮았지만, PISA 2015와 비교하면 '인식론적' 지식에서 상집단과 중집단의 정답률이 상승하였다. PISA 2015에 비해 PISA 2018에서 정답률이 상승한 '인식론적' 지식과 관련하여 PISA에 참여한 학생들이 경험한 교육과정의 변화를 살펴보았다. 과학에 대한 이해 측면에서 2009 개정 교육과정에서는 '과학이란?' 단원과 과학 탐구 활동에서 모형에 대한 이해를 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 과학 지식을 정당화하는 과정에 대한 이해 측면에서 2009 개정 교육 과정에서는 탐구 활동의 수는 증가하고 실험 결과에 기반한 과학적 설명을 강화하였으며 '과학과 인류 문명' 단원을 도입하여 학생들이 STS를 이해하는 것과 동시에 논변활동을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 PISA 2015와 비교한 PISA 2018의 성취수준별 인지적 성취 결과를 알아보았고 우리나라의 과학과 교육과정 개정이 탐구 수업을 통한 인식론적 지식 함양 교육 측면에서 긍정적인 방향으로 나타났다는 것을 확인하였다.
