Abstract

This study aims to identify the trends in 'Aesthetic Science-Education' research through bibliographic analysis and provide future implications for research in this field. To this research, 100 studies were extracted using the search function of the Web of Science provided by Clarivate Analytics. Detailed bibliometrics was analyzed using the Bibliometrix package of the R program. As a result of the analysis, the average number of papers increased from 1993 to 2022, and academic journals in which related papers were published were evenly distributed locally. As a result of keyword analysis, papers with top citations, author collaboration networks, and literature co-citation networks, Aesthetic Science-Education could be classified as inducing aesthetic experience by integrating art in science education, and categories using 'formalist aesthetic' and 'emotional response'. The implications derived from this study are as follows: first, the aesthetic aspects of science should be actively studied to emphasize 'Agency' and 'Active Learning' in future science education. Second, it is necessary to develop a new approach to science education by further utilizing the 'formalist aesthetic' of science in science education. Third, the aesthetic aspect of science can change the perception of the Nature of Science of teachers, pre-service science teachers, and students. Fourth, it is necessary to discover implications for utilizing aesthetic aspects in science education through extensive research on the aesthetic aspects of science for teachers, students, and pre-service teachers. This study is meaningful because it provides an overview of the 'Aesthetic Science-Education' research to realize the above implications.

본 연구는 '미적 과학교육 연구'를 서지분석을 통해 그 동향을 파악한 후, 앞으로 이 분야의 연구에 대한 시사점을 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 Clarivate Analytics에서 제공하는 Web of Science 웹데이터베이스의 검색기능을 활용하여 미적 과학교육 연구 100편을 추출하였으며, 이를 R 프로그램의 Bibliometrix 패키지를 이용하여 상세 서지분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 1993년부터 2022년까지 평균적으로 논문의 수가 증가하는 추세였으며, 관련 논문이 출판되는 학술지는 지역적으로 균등히 분포되어 있는 양상을 보였다. 키워드 분석, 상위 인용수를 가지고 있는 논문, 저자 협력 네트워크, 문헌 공동 인용 네트워크 등을 통해 살펴본 결과, 과학교육에서 미적 측면은 과학교육에서 예술을 통합하여 미적 경험을 유도하는 범주, 과학의 미적 측면에서 '형태의 미'와 '정서적 반응'을 활용한 범주로 구분 지을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 도출한 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미래 과학교육에서 강조하는 행위주체성과 능동적 학습을 실현하기 위해 미적 과학교육 연구가 활발히 수행되어야 한다. 둘째, 과학의 '형태의 미'를 과학교육에 좀 더 활용하여 과학교육에 대한 새로운 접근법을 개발할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 과학의 미적 측면은 교사, 예비교사, 학생의 과학의 본성에 대한 인식을 변화시킬 수 있다. 넷째, 과학의 미적 측면에 대한 교사, 학생, 예비교사 등을 대상으로 한 광범위한 인식조사를 통해 과학교육에서 미적 측면을 활용하는데 있어 시사점을 도출하여야 한다. 본 연구는 미적 과학교육 연구의 전체적인 분석 자료를 제공했다는 점에서 의미가 있다.
