Abstract

In spite of the importance of cognitive conflict in conceptual change, there has been little research on the characteristics of cognitive conflict in students enrolled at vocational high schools. The purpose of this study was to expose these students' cognitive conflict types and investigate characteristics of cognitive conflict according to the type of cognitive conflict. This paper examined how vocational students' motivational beliefs and epistemological beliefs affect the process of cognitive conflict when students are confronted with an anomalous situation related to the action and reaction concept. Results indicated that many vocational students experienced low levels of cognitive conflict and remained passive during the explanation of anomalous phenomenon or easily desisted any attempt to resolve the conflict situation because of their epistemological belief to depend on the external absolute knowledge of teachers, an extrinsic motivation to choose easier tasks, or reliance on the teachers' reputations. Therefore, Instructors need to recognize these characteristics in order to facilitate vocational students' conceptual change when presenting cognitive conflict tasks.

개념변화에서 인지갈등의 중요성에도 불구하고, 실업계 학생들의 인지갈등 특성에 관한 연구는 찾아보기 힘들다. 이 연구의 목적은 실업계 학생들의 인지갈등 유형을 알아보고, 그 유형에 따른 인지갈등 특성을 밝혀보는 것이다. 이 연구에서 연구자들은 실업계 학생들이 작용과 반작용 개념과 관련된 불일치 상황에 직면했을 때, 인지갈등 유형에 따라 학생의 동기적 요인과 인식론적 신념이 어떻게 인지갈등 과정에 영향을 미치는가를 탐색하였다. 연구결과, 많은 실업계 학생들이 낮은 수준의 인지갈등을 경험하고, 불일치 현상을 설명하는데 수동적이거나 갈등 상활을 해결하려는 시도를 쉽게 포기하려는 경향을 보여주었다. 왜냐하면 이 학생들은 교사의 절대적 지식에 의존하려는 인식론적 신념을 갖고 있고, 쉬운 과제 선호성과 교사의 인정에 초점을 맞추는 외적 동기를 갖고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 교사들이 인지갈등 과제를 제시할 때, 실업계 학생들의 개념변화를 촉진하기 위해서는 이러한 인지갈등 특성을 잘 인식해야만 한다.
