Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the learning contents related to biotechnology in life science II and general engineering based on the 2015 revised national curriculum and discuss pedagogical implications for biotechnology education. The main findings were as follows: First, while the learning topics of life science II focused on the ethical aspects related to biotechnology, the learning topics of general engineering focused on the industrial aspects of biotechnology. Second, there were types of overlapping biotechnologies in the life science II textbooks and general engineering textbooks. However, the life science II textbooks provided more scientific and professional descriptions of biotechnology principles than the general engineering textbooks. Also, the life science II textbooks provided more specific overall explanations than the general engineering textbooks. There was a lack of ethical considerations concerning biotechnology in the general engineering textbooks. These findings imply that it is necessary to reorganize biotechnology content based on each school's curriculum and student characteristics.

본 연구의 목적은 2015 개정 교육과정의 생명과학II와 공학일반의 생명공학기술 관련 학습 내용을 분석하고 생명공학기술 교육을 위한 교육적 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫번째, 생명과학II의 학습 주제는 생명공학기술과 관련된 윤리적인측면에 초점을 두고 있는 반면, 공학일반의 학습 주제는 끊임없이 발달하는 생명공학기술의 산업적인 측면에 초점을 두고 있었다. 두번째, 생명과학II 교과서와 공학일반 교과서는 서로 중복된 생명공학기술을 다루고 있으며, 생명과학II 교과서는 공학일반 교과서보다 생명공학기술의 원리를 보다 과학적이고 전문적으로 진술하고 있으며, 생명공학기술에 대한 전반적인 설명이 더 구체적이다. 또한 공학일반 교과서는 생명공학기술에 대한 윤리적인 접근을 등한시하고, 한국에서 금지하고 있는 생식세포 유전자 치료를 다루고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 이러한 생명공학기술 내용이 각 학교의 교육과정과 학생특성에 따른 재구성이 필요함을 시사한다.
