Abstract

This study aims to develop the NABI program, which can be applied to science education in school, to realize 'Science Education through Nature' for today's students. The first NABI program was developed based on the viewpoints of education and teaching methods of Nature-Study, and it was revised as the second NABI program through experts' workshop. The second NABI program was applied to 24 third-grade students of an elementary school. The possibility of applying the program to school science education was explored through the analysis of students' qualitative data, along with surveys that were completed by 24 students and 79 current teachers. As a result of applying the program, students were curious about and communed with nature. The program could also realize the learner-centered education and integration of subjects, science with literature and art. The students were interested and wanted to continually participate in the NABI program. The teachers' evaluation of the program deduced that the relationship between the program presenting Nature-Study ideologies could be applied to science education in school. In conclusion, it was found that the NABI program was well reflected in the scope of the Nature-Study, and it can be applied to science education in school. The NABI program proceeds in nine steps: 'Accepting - Choosing - Selecting the common subject - Ice Breaking - Making relationship - Observing - Scaffolding - Expressing - Sharing'. The NABI program is a good way to realize the essence of science education, 'Science Education through Nature', for today's students.

이 연구는 오늘날 과학교육에서 Nature-Study를 새롭게 구현할 수 있는 NABI(NAture-study Based Ideas)프로그램을 개발함으로써 과학교육에 '자연을 통한 과학학습'을 실현할 수 있는 방안을 마련하는 것을 목적으로 한다. NABI 프로그램은 Nature-Study의 교육관점과 교육방법을 골격으로 설정한 '자연을 통한 과학학습'의 기본 지침을 기반으로 1차 개발되었고 전문가 워크숍을 통해 수정 보완되어 2차 개발되었다. 2차 개발된 NABI 프로그램은 24명의 D광역시 3학년 학생들에게 적용되었고 연구자는 참여관찰자료, 학습결과물, 일기의 질적 자료를 수집 분석하였다. 또한 NABI 프로그램은 이를 적용한 학생 24명과 현직 교사 79명을 대상으로 한 설문을 통해 평가되었으며 NABI 프로그램의 적용 결과와 설문 결과를 바탕으로 최종 완성되었다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. NABI 프로그램 적용 결과, 학생들은 NABI 프로그램을 통해 자연 대상에 호기심을 갖고 교감을 형성하게 되었으며 학습자 중심의 학습을 실행할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 교육방법의 측면에서 문학, 예술 등과 자연스러운 융합을 실현할 수 있었다. 학생과 교사 대상의 설문 결과, 학생들은 NABI 프로그램을 이질적으로 느끼지 않으면서도 흥미와 지속적인 참여 의지를 가지고 있고 NABI 프로그램의 교육효과에 대한 긍정적인 믿음을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교사들은 NABI 프로그램이 Nature-Study의 교육관점에 적합하게 개발되었다고 판단했으며 다른 영역에 비해 낮은 편이지만 어느 정도 현장 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단했다. 최종적으로 NABI 프로그램은 '수용하기-선택하기-공통주제 선정하기-친숙해지기-관계맺기-살펴보기-도약하기-표현하기-공유하기'의 9단계로 완성되었다. Nature-Study를 오늘날 과학교육을 위해 새롭게 구현한 NABI 프로그램은 현재 과학교육이 추구하지 못하는 과학교육의 본질인 '자연을 통한 과학학습'을 과학교육의 현장에서 실현할 수 있는 좋은 방안이 될 것이다.
