Abstract

This study aimed to compare academic passion for science pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) between pre-service and in-service elementary teachers. In addition, a comparison between passion for science subject matter knowledge and passion for science pedagogical knowledge was made for each group of teachers. Participants comprised 182 students from colleges of education and 161 in-service teachers. We analyzed between- and within-subject comparisons for each component of academic passion for science PCK. The results of this study are as follows: First, between-subject comparison demonstrated that, in academic passion for science subject matter knowledge, in-service teachers had a higher passion for "liking" and "importance" than pre-service teachers, whereas pre-service teachers had a higher passion for "time/energy investment" than in-service teachers. In academic passion for science pedagogical knowledge, pre-service teachers had a higher passion for "time/energy investment" than in-service teachers. Second, the within-subject comparison showed that only "harmonious passion" was higher for science pedagogical knowledge than science subject matter knowledge in pre-service teachers. However, "liking", "importance", "time/energy investment", and "obsessive passion" were higher for science subject matter knowledge than science pedagogical knowledge in in-service teachers. The educational implications are discussed.

이 연구에서는 초등 예비교사와 현직교사의 과학 PCK에 대한 학업 열정 수준을 비교하였다. 또한 예비교사와 현직교사별로 과학 내용학에 대한 학업 열정과 과학 교육학에 대한 학업 열정 수준도 비교하였다. 이를 위해 2학기에 교육대학에서 과학 관련 강좌를 수강하고 있는 비과학 심화전공 1~4학년 학생 182명과 초등학교에서 근무하고 있는 현직교사 161명을 선정한 후, 과학 내용학 및 과학 교육학에 대한 학업 열정 검사를 온라인으로 시행하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 집단 내 비교에서는 과학 내용학에 대한 학업 열정의 경우 현직교사가 예비교사보다 '중요함'과 '좋아함'의 수준이 높았지만, 예비교사는 현직교사보다 '시간/에너지 투자'의 수준이 더 높았다. 과학 교육학에 대한 학업 열정에서는 예비교사가 현직교사보다 '시간/에너지 투자'의 수준이 높았지만, 다른 하위 영역에서는 두 집단 간에 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 집단 간 비교에서는 예비교사의 경우 '조화열정'에서만 과학 내용학에 대한 학업 열정보다 과학 교육학에 대한 학업 열정 수준이 더 높았다. 현직교사의 경우에는 '좋아함', '중요함', '시간/에너지 투자', '강박열정'에서 과학 교육학에 대한 학업 열정보다 과학 내용학에 대한 학업 열정 수준이 더 높았다. 마지막으로 연구 결과에 대한 교육적 시사점을 논하였다.
