Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate theoretically the meaning and features of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) based on the views of Peirce and Dewey, and to explore the implications of CoI in science education. The meaning and features of CoI are: (a) inquiry in CoI is initiated with faithful doubt; (b) inquiry in CoI finishes with faithful belief; (c) inquiry in CoI attempts to find out the best explanation and solution regarding the practical effects of objects; (d) as an ideal community, CoI is required to be one that inquires continuously without definite limits; (e) as an actual community, CoI requires its members' open communication to find the best explanation and solution. Based on these features of CoI, the Community of Inquiry in Science Classroom (CoI-SC), "the classroom community for the purpose of transforming the state of faithful doubt into the state of faithful belief, in relation to natural phenomena or objects, and where the members share objectives as participants continuously attempt to find out the best explanation and solution by open communication, considering fallibility and the practical effects of objects", was suggested. The condition for implementation of the CoI-SC, "'interest', 'openness', 'rigor', 'fallibilism', 'participation', 'inquiry without definite limits'", were also suggested. Finally, several suggestions for the science curriculum were given.

본 연구에서는 탐구공동체의 의미와 특징을 Peirce와 Dewey의 관점을 중심으로 이론적으로 고찰하고, 이를 바탕으로 탐구공동체가 갖는 과학 교육적 함의에 대해 과학 수업과 교실, 과학 교육과정을 중심으로 논의함으로써 탐구공동체의 과학 교육적 적용 방안을 탐색하고자 하였다. 탐구공동체의 의미와 특징은 다음과 같이 다섯 가지로 요약될 수 있었다: 첫째, 탐구공동체에서 탐구는 진정한 의심으로부터 시작된다. 둘째, 탐구공동체에서 탐구가 시점은 진정한 믿음의 상태이다. 셋째, 탐구공동체에서 탐구는 실제적 효과의 관찰에 바탕을 둔 최선의 설명과 해결책을 시도한다. 넷째, 이상적으로 탐구공동체는 끊임없이, 그리고 무한히 탐구하는 공동체를 전제한다. 다섯째, 현실적으로 탐구공동체는 공동체 속에서 서로의 의견을 자유롭게 의사소통함으로써 최선의 설명과 해결책에 찾게 되는 공동체를 전제한다. 이를 바탕으로 학교 과학교육의 장에서 탐구공동체가 구현되려면, 흥미, 개방성, 엄격성, 오류가능성의 견지, 참여, 끊임없는 탐구 지향, 충분한 시간을 그 조건으로 하는 "자연 현상이나 사물과 관련하여 진정한 의심의 상태를 믿음의 상태로 바꾸는 것을 목적으로, 참여자로서 목적을 공유한 구성원들이 실제적 효과에 대한 관찰과 오류가능성을 견지하면서 자유로운 의사소통을 통해 최선의 설명과 해결책에 이르고자 끊임없이 노력하는 교실 공동체"인 과학 교실 탐구공동체가 필요함을 제안하였다. 끝으로 이를 바탕으로 과학 교육과정과 관련하여 몇 가지 제언을 하였다.
