초록

본 연구에서는 COVID-19으로 인해 촉발된 원격 실험 수업에 대한 과학교육 전문가들의 인식을 조사하였다. 2021년 상반기에 물리교육, 화학교육, 생물교육, 지구과학교육 전문가 총 10인에 대한 반구조화된 질적 인터뷰를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 과학교육 전문가들은 우선 원격 실험 수업을 예비교사교육의 일환으로서 이해하였으며 이를 통하여 기존에 관습적으로 진행되어 왔던 실험 교육의 목적을 재인식하게 되었다고 응답하였다. COVID-19으로 인한 원격 수업 실험의 현실에 관하여는 우선 핸즈온 경험의 부족으로 인한 학습 결손, 교수자 및 학습자의 상호작용 감소 우려, 교수자의 업무량 증가가 언급되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 과학교육 전문가들은 원격 실험 수업의 적응적 실행 경험을 통해 이를 개선하기 위한 구체적인 방안들을 제시하기도 하였으며, 포스트 코로나 시대의 과학교육의 방향성을 제안하였다. 이에 연구자들은 원격 실험 수업을 핸즈온 수업의 미비한 방식이라기보다는 마인즈온 수업의 보완된 방식으로 이해할 때 이를 더 나은 형태로 설계 및 실행할 수 있는 가능성이 열릴 수 있다고 제안하고, 이와 관련한 추후 연구 주제를 제시하였다. 본 연구는 원격 실험 수업을 과학교육학의 관점에서 보다 심도 있게 이해할 수 있는 단서를 제공한다는 의의를 지닌다.

This study investigated science education experts' perception of remote laboratory sessions (RLS) provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a total of 10 semi-structured interviews with experts in physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science education. As a result, science education experts primarily understood the RLS concerning pre-service teacher education and reconsidered the aim and goal of conventional laboratory education. On practices of RLS provoked by the COVID-19, they pointed out the learning loss due to deficiency of hands-on experience, decreased interactions between instructor and students, and instructors' increased burden. Meanwhile, they contemplated upon their adaptive implementation of RLS to suggest ways to improve RLS instruction and directions of post-COVID-19 science education. We recommend that RLS should be understood as a complemented version of minds-on teaching rather than a degraded version of hands-on teaching to elicit its full potentials. This study has its own significance providing an in-depth science educational perspective interpreting the RLS phenomena.
