Abstract

Inspired by the idea that classroom instruction proceeds through knowledge-sharing, this study examined different modes of knowledge-sharing that were realized in discursive practices in Korean secondary science classrooms. Data came from 9 science teachers. An interpretative strategy was employed to analyze the video-recording of the teachers' own science classrooms and transcriptions. The results showed four different modes of knowledge-sharing, including 'retrieving subject matter knowledge', 'reformulating subject matter knowledge', 'expansion and elaboration of understanding', and 'negotiation of meaning'. It was also revealed that there was a tie between an active mode of knowledge-sharing and scaffolding: the former allowed students to take active roles in discourses and the latter was one of the desired patterns of classroom interaction. It was suggested that further studies should be conducted to understand science instruction from more varied perspectives and to examine and utilize the detailed features of desired classroom practices like scaffolding.

본 연구에서는 교실 수업이 지식 공유를 통해 이루어진다는 관점에 토대하여 우리나라 중등학교 과학 교실에서 담화 행위를 통해 발생하는 지식 공유의 다양한 양상을 파악하였다. 9명의 과학 교사들의 수업을 녹화한 비디오 테잎을 주된 자료원으로 하였으며, 수업 녹화물과 전사본을 해석적인 방법에 따라 분석하였다. 중등학교 과학 수업에서 교사와 학생들 간의 담화 행위를 통해 이루어지는 지식 공유의 양상은 네 가지로 대별되었다. 즉, 교과 내용의 재생, 교과 내용의 재구성, 이해의 확장 및 정교화, 의미의 협상이 그것이다. 특히, 학생들의 능동적인 담화적 역할이 허용된 보다 적극적인 수준의 지식 공유 양상이 이상적인 교실 담화 행위의 한 유형이라고 할 수 있는 스캐폴딩과 밀접히 관련되어 있을 가능성이 확인되었다. 앞으로의 연구에서는 더욱 다양한 관점에서 과학 수업을 이해하기 위한 작업이 필요하고, 더 좋은 과학 수업을 위해 스캐폴딩과 같은 이상적인 교실 담화 행위의 특징을 심층적으로 분석하고 이를 수업에 활용하는 노력이 있어야함을 논의하였다.
