Abstract

This study analyzed the types of scientific emoticons made by science-gifted elementary school students and their perceptions on making scientific emoticons. To do this, 71 students from 4th to 6th graders of two gifted science education center in Seoul were selected. Scientific emoticons made by the students were analyzed according to the number and types. Their perceptions on making scientific emoticons were also analyzed through a questionnaire and group interviews. In the analyses for types of text in the scientific emoticons, 'word type' and 'sentence type' were made more than 'question and answer type'. And the majority of students made more 'pun using pronunciation type' and 'mixed type' than other types. They also made more 'graphic type' and 'animation type' than 'text type' in the images of the scientific emoticons. In the analyses for the information of the scientific emoticons, 'positive emotion type' and 'negative emotion type' of scientific emoticons were made evenly. The students made more 'new creation type' than 'partial correction type' and 'entire reconstruction type'. They also used scientific knowledge that preceded the knowledge of science curriculum in their grade level. The scientific knowledge of chemistry was used more than physics, biology, earth science, and combination field. 'Name utilization type' was more than 'characteristic utilization type' and 'principle utilization type'. Students had various positive perceptions in making scientific emoticons such as 'increase of scientific knowledge', 'increase of various higher-order thinking abilities', 'ease of explanation, use, memory, and understanding of scientific knowledge', 'increase of fun, enjoyment, and interest about science and science learning', and 'increase of opportunity to express emotions'. They were also aware of some limitations related to 'difficulties in the process of making scientific emoticons', 'lack of time', and 'limit that it may end just for fun'. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

이 연구에서는 초등 과학영재 학생의 과학티콘 유형 및 과학티콘 만들기에 대한 인식을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 서울특별시 소재 2개 과학영재교육 기관에서 과학영재교육을 받는 4~6학년 학생 71명을 대상으로 과학티콘 만들기 수업을 시행하고, 학생들이 만든 과학티콘을 그 수와 유형에 따라 분석하였다. 또한 설문지와 집단 면담을 통해 과학티콘 만들기에 대한 학생들의 인식을 조사하였다. 과학티콘의 '형태'에 따른 유형 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 과학영재 학생들은 글의 '기술 형태'에서는 '문답형'보다는 '단어형'이나 '문장형'이 더 많았고, '생성 형태'에서는 다른 유형보다 '발음 유희형'과 '혼합형'이 더 많았다. 그림의 '표현 형태'의 경우에는 '텍스트 유형'보다 '그래픽 유형'과 '애니메이션 유형'이 더 많았다. 과학티콘의 '정보'에 따른 유형 분석 결과에서는, '감정'의 경우 '긍정 감정'과 '부정 감정'이 고르게 나타났다. '구성 수준'에서는 기존의 과학티콘을 '일부 수정' 하거나 '전면 재구성'하기보다는 완전히 '새로 구성'한 경우가 더 많았다. '교육과정 초과 여부'에서는 해당 학년 이하보다 상위 학년의 과학과 교육과정에 포함된 과학 지식을 활용한 경우가 더 많았다. '과학 학문 영역'에서는 '에너지', '생명', '지구와 우주', '융합' 영역보다 '물질' 영역의 과학 지식을 활용한 경우가 더 많았다. '과학 지식활용'에서는 '특성 활용형'과 '원리 활용형'보다 '명칭 활용형'이 더 많았다. 학생들은 과학티콘 만들기에 대해 과학 지식의 습득, 다양한 고차원적 사고력 향상, 과학 지식의 설명, 활용, 기억, 이해의 용이성, 재미와 즐거움 및 과학에 관한 관심과 흥미 유발, 감정 표현 기회 증가 등의 긍정적인 인식을 가지고 있었다. 하지만 과학티콘 만들기 과정에서의 어려움, 시간 부족, 단순히 재미로 끝날 우려 등의 제한점도 일부 인식하고 있었다. 이에 대한 교육적 함의를 논하였다.
