Abstract

Despite the rapidly growing body of research on science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), most of the research has mainly focused on the definition of PCK and its components. The main purpose of this research was to explore the operational definition of PCK and to suggest another form by re-conceptualizing PCK, with the newly defined and conceptualized PCK capable of being used as standards and/or criteria in selecting the curricular content of and deciding the subject area of science teacher education. In this research, the science teachers' PCK was defined as the "practical knowledge and skills that are acquired through the curriculum of science education and in the course of teaching experiences, and which are used in their teaching of secondary school science." The science teachers' PCK was further defined as consisting of two integrated and/or combined dimensions: subject matter and pedagogy, each of which comprises several components. In this paper, the PCK is called science education literacy. The paper also presents the ways to apply the operational definition of PCK and re-conceptualized PCK and a few suggestions for the research on science teachers' PCK.

과학교사의 교수내용지식(PCK)에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 PCK의 정의와 그 구성요소에 초점을 맞추었다. 이 연구는 과학교사의 PCK를 조작적으로 정의하고, 과학교사 교육의 교육과정 내용을 선정하고 관련 과목을 결정하는 기준이나 준거로 사용될 수 있도록 재구성한 PCK를 제안할 목적으로 수행하였다. 이 연구에서는 과학교사가 획득하여 가져야 할 PCK를 "과학교사 양성 교육과정 또는 현직 과학교사 연수 프로그램을 이수하거나 중 고등학교의 실제 과학 교수 경험을 통해서 획득하여 그의 중 고등학교 과학 교수에 그대로 적용할 수 있는 있는 지식과 기능"으로 정의하였다. 이와 같이 정의된 과학교사의 PCK는 과학과 교육학의 두 영역의 하위요소들이 상호작용을 통해 통합되어 이루어지며, 이 연구에서는 그렇게 획득되는 PCK를 과학교육 소양으로 부른다. 이 논문에서는 PCK의 조작적 정의와 재구성된 PCK를 중 고등학교 과학교사의 교육에 적용하는 방법과 그에 관한 연구에 던져주는 시사점도 기술한다.
