Abstract

This study encompassed the responses of 284 elementary school teachers, focusing on their teaching experiences, readiness, and needs for science education concerning the risk posed by science and technology. The key findings are summarized as follows. First, a significant portion of teachers lacked prior experience in addressing risks associated with science and technology within their science education practices. Second, a greater number of teachers were aware of the inclusion of risk-related content in the 2022 revised science curriculum's achievement standards than those who were not. Third, in terms of teachers' understanding of risk perception, risk assessment, and risk management, they demonstrated a relatively high level of understanding of risk perception but a lower level of understanding of risk assessment. Fourth, most teachers had not undergone any formal education or training related to risk. Fifth, among the 10 objectives of risk education, teachers displayed the highest competence in teaching "information use" and "action skills," while their lowest competence was observed in "interpreting probabilities" and "evaluating risk assessment." Sixth, a majority of teachers believe that it is important to teach about the risks posed by science and technology in school science classes, with "action skills," "information use," and "decision-making skills" being considered the most important and "action skills," "information use," and "influence of mass media" being regarded as the most urgent. However, teachers anticipated difficulties in addressing risk in school science classes, including a lack of relevant educational materials, a lack of understanding of teaching theories related to risk education, and the relationship between science curriculum content and achievement standards. Seventh, as a result of calculating the educational needs for each of the 10 goals of risk education, "influence of risk perception," "decision-making skills," "action skills," and "evaluate risk assessment" were the priority needs of elementary school teachers.

본 연구는 과학기술로 인해 발생할 수 있는 위험을 다루는 과학교육에 대한 초등교사의 교육 경험과 교육 준비도 및 요구도를 조사하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다수의 교사가 과학교육에서 과학기술로 인해 발생할 수 있는 위험을 다루어 본 경험이 없었다. 둘째, 2022 개정 과학과 교육과정의 성취기준에 위험이 포함되어 있다는 것을 알고 있는 교사의 수가 모르는 교사의 수보다 더 많았다. 셋째, 위험지각, 위험평가, 위험관리에 대한 교사들의 이해도를 비교하면, 위험지각에 대한 이해도가 상대적으로 높고 위험평가에 대한 이해도가 낮았다. 넷째, 대다수 교사가 위험에 대한 교육 및 연수를 받은 경험이 없었다. 다섯째, 위험교육의 10가지 목표를 가르치기 위한 교사의 현재 역량 수준은 정보 활용과 실천 역량 순으로 높게 나타났고, 확률 해석과 위험평가 방법에 대한 평가가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 여섯째, 다수의 교사는 학교 과학 수업에서 과학기술로 인해 발생할 수 있는 위험에 대해 교육하는 것이 중요하다고 응답하였으며 특히 실천 역량, 정보 활용, 의사 결정 역량 순으로 중요하다고 응답하였고 실천 역량, 정보 활용, 대중매체의 영향 평가 순으로 교육이 시급하다고 응답하였다. 그러나 교사들은 학교 과학 수업에서 위험을 다루게 될 때 예상하는 어려움으로 관련 교육자료의 부족, 위험교육 관련 교수 이론에 대한 이해 부족, 과학 교과 내용 및 성취기준과의 관계 순으로 높게 응답하였다. 일곱째, 위험교육의 10가지 목표별 교육 요구도를 산출한 결과, 위험 특성의 영향 평가, 의사 결정 역량, 실천 역량, 위험평가 방법에 대한 평가가 초등교사가 우선하여 요구하는 항목이었다.
