Abstract

In this study, we propose a way to improve science teacher expertise through infographics creation teacher training program by analyzing the infographics types focusing on the Earth Science subject of the 2015 revised curriculum, and inspecting the teachers' utilization of graphic tools. The data visualization characteristics of Earth Science textbooks were analyzed, the execution results of the infographics creation teacher training program were presented, and a survey on science teachers' change in perception and competency of infographics. As a result of the Earth Science textbook analysis, diagram-type, map-type, and comparative analysis-type infographics were frequently used, and were mainly presented as text-assisted-type infographics. The infographics creation teacher training program was conducted five times for 112 science teachers to create the complete, text-assisted, incomplete, and gradient-type infographics. Incomplete infographics for development of evaluation questions were most needed. Although many science teachers recognize the importance of infographics, they lacked the competency to create high-quality infographics because there were no training opportunities for infographics creation. After completing the training, 74.1% of teachers felt that the quality of developments of supplementary textbooks and evaluation questions had improved, and answered that it was helpful in re-educating knowledge and improving teaching-learning methods. Based on the research results, ways to improve science teacher expertise through infographics creation teacher training program were suggested.

본 연구에서는 2015 개정 교육과정 지구과학 교과서를 중심으로 인포그래픽 유형을 분석하고 교사들의 그래픽 제작 도구 활용 실태를 점검함으로써 인포그래픽 제작 연수 프로그램을 통한 과학교사 전문성 신장 방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 지구과학 교과서에 제시된 시각화자료를 분석하여 인포그래픽의 유형에 따른 특징을 파악하였다. 또한, 인포그래픽 제작 연수 프로그램의 실행 결과를 유형별로 제시하고 연수 프로그램 이수 전후 설문 조사를 통해 과학교사들의 인포그래픽에 대한 인식 및 역량 변화를 분석하였다. 교과서 분석 결과 지구과학 교과에서는 도표형, 지도형, 비교분석형 인포그래픽을 가장 많이 사용하고 있으며, 주로 텍스트 보조형 인포그래픽으로 제시하였다. 과학교사 112명을 대상으로 인포그래픽 제작 연수프로그램을 5회 진행한 결과 완성형, 텍스트 보조형, 불완전형, 그레이디언트형 인포그래픽을 제작하였으며, 평가 문항 출제를 위한 불완전형 인포그래픽의 제작 수요가 가장 높았다. 설문 조사 결과에 따르면 대부분의 과학교사는 인포그래픽의 중요성을 인지하고 있으나, 인포그래픽을 제작해 본 경험이 없어 양질의 인포그래픽을 제작할 수 있는 역량이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 연수 이수 후, 74.1%의 교사들이 수업자료와 평가 문항의 질이 향상되었다고 느꼈으며, 새로운 유형의 인포그래픽을 개발하는 과정이 전공 지식 재교육과 교수-학습방법 개선에 도움이 된다고 응답하였다. 연구 결과를 토대로 인포그래픽 제작 연수 프로그램을 통한 과학교사의 전문성 신장 방안을 제안하였다.
