Abstract

This study aims to develop a modeling-based learning program about geologic structures and to reveal the relationship between the argumentation patterns and levels of students' mental models. Participants included 126 second grade high school students in four sessions of modeling-based learning regarding continental drift, oceanic ridges, transform faults, and characteristics of faults. A modeling-based learning program was implemented in two classes of the experimental group, and teacher-centered traditional classes were carried out for the other students in the comparison group. Science achievement scores and the distribution of students' mental models in experimental and comparison groups were quantitatively compared. The video-taped transcripts of five teams' argumentation were qualitatively analyzed based on the analytic framework developed in the study. The analytic framework for coding students' argumentation in the modeling-based learning was composed of five components of TAP and the corresponding components containing alternative concepts. The results suggest that the frequencies of causal two-dimensional model and cubic model were high in the experimental group, while the frequencies of simple two-dimensional model and simple cross sectional model were high in the comparison group. The higher the frequency of claims, an argumentation pattern was proven successful, and the level of mental model was higher. After the rebuttal was suggested, students observed the model again and claimed again according to new data. Therefore, the model could be confirmed as having a positive impact on students' argumentation process.

본 연구에서는 지질구조에 대한 모델링기반 학습 프로그램을 개발하고 모델링기반 학습에서 나타나는 논증패턴과 학생들의 정신모형 수준과의 관계를 밝히고자 하였다. 고등학교 2학년 126명을 대상으로 대륙이동설, 해령, 변환단층, 단층의 특징에 대하여 4회의 모델링기반 학습을 실시하였다. 연구대상 중에서 2개 학급은 실험집단으로 모델링기반 학습을 실시하였고 나머지 2개 학급은 비교집단으로 교사중심 설명식 수업을 실시하였다. 모델링기반 학습 후 실험집단과 비교집단의 사후 성취도와 학생들의 정신모형 분포를 정량적으로 비교하였다. 실험집단 중 5개 조의 논증활동을 녹음 전사한 자료에 대하여 본 연구에서 설정한 분석틀을 근거로 정성적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석틀은 TAP의 5가지 요소와 학생들의 대안개념이 포함되는 요소 5가지 등 총 10가지의 코딩 요소로 구성하였다. 정신모형 유형을 조사한 결과, 실험집단에서 단면 인과모형과 입체형 모형의 비율이 높게 나타난 반면, 비교집단에서는 2차원 모형과 단면 단순모형의 비중이 높게 나타났다. 논증유형을 분석한 결과, 주장의 빈도가 높을수록 논증활동이 성공적으로 이루어졌고 정신모형의 수준이 높게 나타났다. 반박이 제기된 경우, 만든 모형을 다시 관찰하여 자료를 수정하고, 이에 따라 주장을 다시 전개하였다. 이로써 모델링기반 학습에서 모형이 학생들의 논증 과정에 긍정적으로 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다.
