A New Way of Reading the Science Classroom Discourse: Pedagogical Discourse Analysis

과학수업담화의 새로운 독법: 교수학적 담화분석

  • Published : 2008.12.30

Abstract

This study aims to provide a cornerstone for 'Pedagogical Discourse Analysis' by connecting linguistic theory to science education practice. Pedagogical Discourse Analysis (PDA) focuses its attention on finding educational implications beyond description on classroom language. This study is specially aimed at PDA in terms of the textual aspect, which has not sparked interest in science classroom discourse. For this, we supposed that the framework of PDA composed of two axes: 'thematic flow' and 'information flow'. We presented a case of science classroom discourse in terms of PDA to investigate opportunities in its potential and utilities. This trial crosses the line of traditional science classroom discourse analysis, which has been inclined to linguistics theory. It will also suggest a new horizon for science classroom discourse in an educational context.

이 연구는 언어학적 이론을 과학교육 실제에 접목시켜 '교수학적 담화분석'의 초석을 마련하는데 그 목적이 있다. 교수학적 담화분석이란 언어학적 담화분석을 통해서, 수업언어에 대한 기술을 넘어, 교육적 함의를 이끌어 내는데 초점적인 관심을 둔다. 특히 이 연구에서는 지금까지 과학수업 담화에서 큰 관심을 받지 못했던 담화의 구성적 측면을 중심으로 교수학적 담화분석을 시도하였다. 이를 위해 체계기능언어학의 '주제 구조'와 '정보 구조'를 두 축으로 하는 '교수학적 담화분석틀'을 제안하였다. 그리고 이것의 가능성과 유용성을 탐색하기 위해서, 실제 과학수업의 담화분석 사례를 제시하였다. 이러한 노력은 언어학 이론에 경도되었던 종전의 과학수업 담화분석 연구에서 진일보하여, 교육의 맥락을 보다 충실하게 반영할 수 있는 논의를 위한 새로운 지평을 마련할 것으로 보인다.
