Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate trends in research studies on scientific argument and writing in Korea. 118 research studies published from 2004 to 2013 have been collected and analyzed. Many of the research studies focused on developing teaching strategies, analyzing contents of scientific argument and writing, and effects on student learning. More than half of the studies were conducted with elementary and middle school students while studies with pre-service, in-service teachers or high school students were relatively rare. Most research studies were conducted within regular school hour context and participants were given relevant information/education prior to argument and writing activities. Many research have analyzed student growth in scientific attitudes and we would suggest that further studies should investigate student growth in scientific concepts, scientific inquiry, and critical thinking. The structure and process of argument or the content and form of writing have been analyzed. The quality of argument and scientific concepts embedded in argument and writing should be investigated more in future researches.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 발표된 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 관련 논문을 대상으로 연구 문제, 연구 대상, 연구 방법 및 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 활동 적용 방식과 어떠한 측면에서 그 결과를 분석하고 있는지 알아봄으로써 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 관련 연구의 동향을 살펴보고 후속 연구의 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 2004년부터 2013년까지 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 관련 연구 118편을 수집하여 분석하였다. 최근 10년간 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 관련 연구는 점점 증가하는 추세이고 2008년 이후에 관련 연구가 활성화되고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 교수 학습 전략을 개발, 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 활동에 대한 내용 분석, 그 효과 분석의 순으로 연구 문제가 선정된 것으로 나타났다. 초등학생과 중학생을 대상으로 한 연구에 비해 예비 교사 및 현장 교사를 대상으로 한 연구와 고등학생을 대상으로 한 연구는 적었다. 연구 방법은 양적 연구, 질적 연구, 혼합 연구가 비교적 고르게 적용되고 있었다. 또한 연구 대상에게 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 관련 사전 교육을 진행하거나 관련 자료를 제시한 연구가 증가하고 있었다. 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 적용 후에 학생들의 과학에 대한 태도를 분석한 연구가 많았는데, 과학 개념, 과학 탐구 능력, 비판적 사고력 향상 등의 분석에 좀 더 초점을 두어야 할 것이다. 많은 연구에서 논의 구조와 논의 과정 또는 과학 글쓰기에 포함된 내용과 글쓰기의 형태 분석을 해왔다. 향후에는 논의의 수준 또는 과학 글쓰기에 포함된 과학 개념을 함께 분석하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되기를 제안한다.
