Abstract

The purposes of this study were to develop a scientific inquiry-based STEAM education program and to investigate its effect on changing middle school students' self-efficacy in science, job awareness, and attitudes toward STEM. A scientific inquiry-based STEAM program was developed with the theme of 'earthquakes', using the ADBA model, which was taking up the total of six class periods. The final program, which had been revised and completed after being pre-tested with middle school students, was implemented to 105 third-graders of middle school in a metropolitan city. One sample pre-post paired t-test before and after applying the program to the same group was conducted, and its effectiveness was analyzed in terms of self-efficacy in science, job awareness, attitudes toward science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Results showed that the STEAM program on the theme of 'earthquakes' demonstrated its effect on improving the students' of self-efficacy in science subject and their awareness of science-related jobs. Furthermore, this program indicated a statistical significance in improving middle school students' attitudes, awareness, and abilities, values, and continuing interest towards science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Therefore, we suggest that this scientific inquiry based STEAM program be used to help students to improve their scientific investigation skills as well as their creative and integrated thinking abilities in schools.

이 연구의 목적은 과학 탐구 기반의 융합인재교육(STEAM) 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하여 중학생의 과학 자기효능감, 진로 인식, STEM에 대한 태도 변화를 검증하는데 있다. 과학 탐구 기반의 STEAM 교육 프로그램은 '지진'을 주제로 ADBA 모형에 적용하여 총 6차시 분량으로 개발하였다. 중학생을 대상으로 예비적용을 거쳐 수정 보완하여 최종적으로 개발된 프로그램은 광역시 소재의 H 중학교 3학년 학생 105명을 대상으로 효과성을 검증하였다. 자료 분석은 단일집단 사전 사후 대응표본 t-검증을 실시하여 수업 전 후의 과학 자기효능감, 진로 인식, 과학 기술 공학 수학에 대한 태도의 변화에 대하여 효과성을 분석하였다. 결론적으로, '지진'을 주제로 한 과학 탐구 기반의 융합인재교육프로그램은 학생들의 과학 자기효능감과 과학 관련 진로 인식의 향상에 효과가 있었다. 그리고 과학, 기술, 공학, 수학에 대한 태도의 인식, 능력, 가치, 흥미의 지속 영역에서 고르게 유의미한 효과가 나타났다. 개발된 과학 탐구 기반의 융합인재교육 프로그램은 학교 현장에서 충분하게 적용될 수 있으며, 이를 통해 과학적 탐구 능력의 향상과 창의 융합적 사고를 지닌 인재를 기르는데 도움이 될 것이다.
