The purpose of this study was to analyze the processes of observation teaching and the types of observation in elementary life science class. For the purposes of this study, 40 teachers majoring in elementary science education participated in surveys on the processes of observation teaching. In addition, after videotaping the observation classes conducted by three teachers, each teaching in the 3rd to 5th grade, and their one hundred and eight students, we analyzed the processes of observation teaching. As a result, the processes of observation leaching in elementary science class were categorized into 12 stages (motivation, stating the objective, recognizing objects to observe, free and subjective observation, introducing ways to observe, observing by the simple way, introducing additional ways, observing by the manipulative way, making a note of observation, looking over the contents of observation, finding regularities, consolidation). In the types of observation, teachers and students performed mostly simple observing by the visual way. Teachers introduced time-independent/non-compared/whole observing; students concentrated on time-independent/non-compared/particular observing as targets. Thus, students carried out observing in the types of observation that teachers had presented. Consequently, the analysis about the processes of observation teaching can establish an effective teaching program for observing in scientific activities by reconstructing its observing target and suitable topic. The analysis about the types of observation can be applied to set up strategies for improving observation skills.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the responses of pre-service elementary teachers to the plant learning using plant-observation activities and observation journal writings. Thirty pre-service teachers participated in this study. Before and after practicing plant observation and observation journal writing for 11 weeks, pre-service teachers' interest to plants, attitude to plant-observation teaching, and plant-observation teaching efficacy were examined using a questionnaire. Also, the observation journals, reflective journal writings, and interviews were analyzed to investigate their qualitative change. In addition, the pre-service teachers were classified by multi-dimensional scaling and cluster analysis with respect to attitude to plant-observation teaching and observation journal writing, and teaching efficacy. While the pre-service teachers showed significant increase of the interest to plants and plant-observation teaching efficacy, and positive change of the attitude to plant-observation teaching, there was a little difference between gender with more positive effects on females. The positive attitude changes of pre-service teachers included positive recognition about plants and the diversity, increased interest and curiosity about plants, careful observation about nearby plants, and independent learning and positive inquiry with plants. In terms of teaching efficacy, they showed positive change such as enjoyment and satisfaction with plant-observation, confidence as elementary teachers in the future, and recognition about the importance of elementary teachers for plant education. However, the changes were different among the groups classified by attitude to plant-observation teaching and observation journal writings, and plant-observation teaching efficacy.

본 연구에서는 KTOP (Korean Teaching Observation Protocol)을 과학과 교육실습에 적용하여 예비교사들의 수업 개선을 위한 과정을 돕고자 하였다. 4명의 예비교사와 지도교사가 KTOP을 이용하여 수업을 관찰, 분석하고, 협의 과정을 통해 다음 수업을 개선하는 과정으로 교육실습을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 예비교사들은 KTOP에 의한 수업분석 결과에 기초하여 협의 활동을 하여 KTOP이 예비교사들의 수업 개선에 실제적인 안내역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또 KTOP을 이용한 협의 활동이 다음 수업의 개선에도 도움을 주는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 그러나 보다 더 효과적인 수업 개선을 위해서는 더 많은 반복적인 적용이 필요하다는 것도 추론할 수 있었다. 교육실습과정에 대한 관찰과 면담, 설문을 통해 KTOP이 보다 더 효율적으로 활용되기 위해, 교사는 KTOP 활용에 대한 확신을 갖고 학생 중심의 수업이 되기 위해 노력하는 것이 필요하고, KTOP의 항목수를 줄이고, KTOP의 양식을 좀 더 편리하게 수정할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 학생들에게 학습이란 자기 주도적으로 수행되어야 한다는 인식을 갖도록 노력할 필요가 있다는 것도 추론할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 고등학교 천체관측 관련 개념 검사지를 개발하여 지식상태 분석법으로 천체관측 개념의 위계와 개별 학습자의 지식상태를 분석하였고, 이에 따른 교수-학습 효과를 알아 보았다. 학습자가 갖고 있는 천체관측 관련 개념의 심리적 위계는 '지구운동 ${\rightarrow}$천구좌표계 ${\rightarrow}$천체관측(망원경 원리 ${\rightarrow}$망원경 설치 ${\rightarrow}$망원경 관측)' 순이었으며, 교수 위계(70.8%)도 같은 순 이었다. 개념 검사에서 같은 점수를 획득하여 천체관측 능력이 비슷할 것으로 추정되는 학습자의 지식상태가 서로 다르게 나타났다. 지식상태의 구조화가 잘 이루어진 경우와 그렇지 못한 사례가 있었는데, 이는 서로다른 교수-학습 처방이 이루어져야 함을 시사한다. 즉, 지식상태 분석을 통하여 학습자의 개별화 학습 처방과 형성평가의 역할을 할 수 있다. 지구과학I의 천체관측 단원에서 교과서의 내용 제시 순서 보다 학습자의 심리적 위계에 따라 수업한 경우가 개념의 성취도 수준에서 유의미(p<0.05)하게 더 높았다. 이는 교사들이 천체관측 관련 개념을 지도할 때, 교육과정을 토대로 학습자의 지식상태를 파악하여 교과서의 학습 내용을 재순서화 함으로써 더 효과적인 학습이 이루어질 수 있음을 보여준다.

이 연구에서는 초등학교 과학과 수업 분석을 통하여 초등 과학 수업의 개선을 위한 시사점을 도출해 내고자 하였다. 교수-학습 방법에 중점을 두어 7개의 수업 사례를 관찰하고 분석하였다. 수업 관찰 결과, 초등학교 과학 수업에서는 실험이나 활동을 한 뒤에 정리하고 토의할 시간이 부족하고 교사의 적절한 안내가 이루어지지 않아서 실험이나 활동 결과를 학습목표와 관련지어 이해하는 데 어려움이 있었다. 그리고 관찰 관점이나 실험 방법에 대한 안내가 부족하였고, 실험 기구를 올바르게 사용하는 방법과 유의할 점, 실험 기구를 사용하는 이유 등에 대한 안내가 충분히 이루어지지 않았다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 관찰 관점, 실험 기구의 용도와 사용법 등에 대한 교사의 안내 활동을 강화하고 실험 결과에 대한 논의가 충분히 이루어지도록 하기 위한 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다.

The importance of teaching the nature of science (NOS) has been always emphasized in science education. However, the NOS is hardly taught in elementary science class. We are lacking in the strategies and materials for teaching NOS. So we designed the science drama teaching, and investigated the effects on pupils' perceptions about NOS. The subjects of this study were 185 third graders from a elementary school. The treatment group was provided with science drama lessons and the control group was provided with traditional lecture-type lessons. Their perceptions about NOS were investigated before/after the science lessons and after 3 months following them, and both of two groups were compared. The pretest results revealed that the pupils of both groups were found to have similar views on NOS. Dey had traditional views of the most items except for social construction of theories, mathematical knowledge and decision-making. After science lessons, they tended to change their views toward modem views, but the pupils of the treatment group showed more modem views than those of the control group on the observation, model, social construction of theories, predictions. After 3 months, the pupils of the control group tended to come back to their traditional views, but those of the treatment group showed tendencies that their changed views were kept up on the observation, scientific model, scientific knowledge, scientific methods, decision-making, social construction of theories, mathematical knowledge. Therefore this study suggests that science drama teaching could be one of the effective ways for teaching NOS.

This study aimed to explore how to characterize the earth science inquiry in schools in terms of science teaching interaction and constructivist teaching practice. The constructivist teaching practices were analyzed with Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) in three aspects including (1) student oriented class implementation, (2) subject knowledge and representation, and (3) classroom communication. Fourteen earth science classes were observed and scored with RTOP. The class was evaluated to be transitional stage in terms of constructivist teaching, e.g., moving toward student-centered teaching practice. Especially, Korean teachers tend to lean their classes more on propositional knowledge than procedural knowledge. To interpret science teaching interactions, an earth science teacher with a RTOP top rank was selected. Her class was then videotaped for detailed analysis. I adopted the analytical framework of communicative approaches and discourse patterns among the five aspects of interactions presented by Mortimer and Scott (2003). It was found that this earth science teacher used more authoritative patterns than the dialogic. In addition, she used IRE discourse pattern more frequently. Interestingly, teachers interacted with their students more frequently in the form of repeated (or IRE chain pattern), that is IRFRF (teacher initiation-student response-teacher feedback-student response-teacher feedback) in the context of dialogic communicative approaches, while simple IRE occurred in an authoritative approach. In earth science classrooms, typical interaction may well be constructed in the form of IRFRF chains to allow students free conjectures and abduction.
