Abstract

In this study recent trends of research about beliefs in physics education were discussed and cultural approaches were suggested. Cultural aspects in the contexts of science education were discussed and diverse aspects of beliefs in physics education-beliefs about nature, physics, learning physics, value and expectation, and learning physics-were analyzed considerating cultural aspects. Finally, directions for future studies about beliefs and cultural approaches in physics education were suggested.

본 연구에서는 물리교육에서 신념 연구의 동향을 고찰하고 최근 과학교육학의 주요 연구 과제로 제기되고 있는 과학교육학에서 문화적 연구의 동향과 의의를 물리학습 상황에서 고찰한 후 이어서 물리교육에서 신념과 문화라는 주제가 어떻게 연결될 수 있는지를 논의하였다. 물리교육에서 신념은 자연세계, 물리학, 물리학습과정, 물리학습의 기대와 가치, 물리학습능력 등에 대한 신념으로 구분할 수 있고 이와 같은 신념은 물리학습과정을 폭넓게 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이며, 이를 위하여 물리교육학 연구에서 다양한 문화적 접근이 필요함을 논의하였다. 이상의 물리학습에 대한 신념 연구와 문화적 접근의 동향과 의의에 대한 논의로부터 물리교육 연구의 문화적 접근에 대한 방향을 제안하였다.
