Abstract

In the earlier study, Park (2002) described the process of student' conceptual change as a successive refinement and articulation of their conceptual framework. In this study, the process of conceptual change for three university students were analyzed more in depth. As results, six types of conceptual change through successive refinement and articulation were observed: (1) original conception was elaborated in detail, (2) conception was differentiated according to the context, (3) some conceptions were re-explained theoretically after construction it based on experimental data, (4) non-coherent conceptions in the early stage get to have coherency in the later stage, (5) model of explanation gets to be complicated by excluding ideal conditions, (6) qualitative explanations were changed into quantitative ones.

본 연구는 과학 개념변화과정을 미시적으로 보면, 점진적인 세련화와 정교화의 과정을 거친다는 이론적 논의에 기초하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실체 대학생의 과학 개념 변화과정을 분석하여 개념변화과정에서의 주요 특징을 찾아내어 다음과 같은 점진적인 세련화와 정교화의 과정으로 볼 수 있는 측면들을 찾아내었다. 기존의 개념이 점차로 세밀해져 가는 과정, 상황에 따라 개념이 구분되어 가는 과정, 실험 데이터에 이한 설명이 이론적으로 재설명되는 과정, 시험 데이터에 이한 설명이 이론적으로 재설명되는 과정, 처음의 부정합적인 설명구조가 정합적인 설명구조로 변화되는 과정, 초기의 이상화된 모델에서 무시되었던 조건들이 다시 고려되어 가는 과정, 정성적인 설명이 정량적인 설명으로 변화되는 과정, 본 연구결과는 학생의 개념변화과정에 대한 보다 깊은 이해로 이끌 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
