Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of astronomical STEAM program using co-teaching on self-directed learning attitude. For this purpose, we developed an astronomical STEAM program and applied it to elementary science gifted students. Thirty six, $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ grade elementary science gifted students were participated in this study in total having 16 students in experimental group and 20 students in control group. The results were described as follows. First, astronomical STEAM program using co-teaching was effective in improving self-directed learning attitude. Second, the program was effective in improving participants' openness to learning opportunities and problem-solving. Third, students were satisfied with the co-teaching that provided ample feedbacks and detailed explanations, and teachers perceived that co-teaching was helpful to overcome a lack of professional knowledge, and to solve difficulties of evaluation and preparing teaching materials for STEAM classes. With findings, we discussed implications for co-teaching of STEAM lessons to improve students' self-directed learning attitude at the end of paper.

이 연구의 목적은 코티칭을 활용한 천문 STEAM 프로그램이 자기주도적 학습 태도에 미치는 효과를 확인해 보는 것이었다. 이를 위해 천문 STEAM 프로그램을 개발하여 초등과학 영재학생들에게 적용하였다. 초등과학 영재학생들 5-6학년 36명 중 실험집단은 16명, 비교집단은 20명의 학생을 대상으로 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 코티칭을 활용한 천문 STEAM 프로그램은 자기주도적 학습 태도 향상에 효과적이었다. 둘째, 이 프로그램은 학습기회의 개방성 영역과 문제 해결 기술 영역의 향상에 보다 효과적이었다. 셋째, 학생들은 코티칭이 많은 피드백과 깊이 있는 설명을 제공하는 것에 만족했고, 교사들은 코티칭이 STEAM 수업에서의 전문지식 부족과 평가 및 수업자료준비의 어려움을 해결하는데 도움을 준다고 하였다. 이 연구 결과를 토대로 STEAM 수업에서 자기주도적 학습 태도를 향상시키기 위한 방법으로서의 코티칭에 대한 시사점을 논의했다.
