Abstract

This study investigates the effects of the operation of science activity program on scientific literacy focusing on science cultural literacy and core competencies for pre-service teachers. 255 pre-service teachers of K University participated, and the effects of the program were examined through a paired-sample t-test with one group pretest-posttest design for science cultural literacy. Only the post-test was conducted on core competency growth perception, and differences in growth perceptions by competency were compared using ANOVA. As a result of the study, the average of pre-service teachers was higher than the pre-test for science culture literacy, and this difference was statistically significant (p<.05). In the core competency growth perception, 70.6% of pre-service teachers reported growth in scientific communication ability, and as a result of the post-hoc test using LSD, it shows statistically significant growth compared to other competencies (p<.05). Through this, it was possible to confirm the educational value of the science activity program as a way to develop pre-service teachers' scientific literacy.

이 연구에서는 과학 체험 프로그램의 운영이 예비교사의 과학적 소양에 미치는 영향을 과학문화소양과 핵심역량을 중심으로 알아보았다. K대학교 255명의 예비교사가 참여하였으며, 과학문화소양은 단일집단 사전-사후검사 설계로 대응표본 t-검정을 통해 프로그램의 효과를 알아보았다. 핵심역량 성장 인식은 사후검사만 실시하였으며, ANOVA로 역량별 성장 인식의 차이를 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 과학 문화소양에서 예비교사의 과학문화소양은 사전검사에 비해 사후검사 평균이 더 높았으며, 이 차이는 통계적으로 유의미하였다(p<.05). 핵심역량의 성장 인식 분석 결과, 과학적 의사소통 능력에서 70.6%의 예비교사가 성장을 보고하였으며, LSD로 사후검증 결과 다른 핵심역량에 비해 통계적으로 유의미하게 높은 빈도를 보였다(p<.05). 이를 통해 예비교사의 과학적 소양 함양을 위한 방안으로 과학 체험 프로그램의 교육적 가치를 확인할 수 있었다.
