Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate secondary science teacher's concepts of good science teaching. To do these, I have developed a questionnaire composed of 32 good teachings on education content, instructional method, instructional environment and atmosphere and assessment categories. 136 secondary science teachers have participated in the questionnaire and were requested to show agreement. Additionally, they were requested to describe the best science teachings that they have experienced. Results are as follows: First, the best science teaching that science teachers thought is a teaching that is in full accord with students' level in education content category, a teaching with an energetic interaction in instructional method category, a teaching in a trustful atmosphere in instructional environment and atmosphere category, a teaching in which students could learn something through a teaching-related assessment in assessment category. Second, secondary science teachers thought that a self-directed learning, a differentiated instruction and a teaching with diverse materials are not important factors in good science teaching. Third, there is a difference between good teaching that secondary science teachers have conceived and good teaching that they have experienced. It shows that science teachers did not precisely understand what good science teaching is. Additionally, I discussed the need of finding a case on good science teachings and a support of an interaction-focused teaching.

본 연구의 목적은 중등 과학 교사들의 좋은 과학 수업에 대한 인식을 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 중등 과학교사 136명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 과학 교사들은 교육 내용, 교육 방법, 교육 환경 및 분위기, 평가 등의 범주로 구성된 32개의 수업에 대하여 리커트 5점 척도로 응답하였다. 추가적으로 교사들이 경험한 가장 좋은 수업에 대해서 기술하도록 요청하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중등 과학 교사들이 생각하는 가장 좋은 과학 수업은 교육 내용 영역에서 학생 수준에 맞게 교육 내용을 재구성한 수업, 교육 방법 영역에서 상호작용이 활발한 수업, 교육 환경 및 분위기 영역에서 신뢰롭고 존중해 주는 분위기의 수업, 평가 영역에서 수업과 연계된 평가를 통해 학생들이 배울 수 있는 기회가 제공된 수업을 선택하였다. 둘째, 중등 과학 교사들은 학생들의 권한이 많은 자기주도적 수업, 수준별 수업, 다양한 매체를 활용한 수업 등은 좋은 과학수업의 특징으로 인식하지 않고 있었다. 셋째, 교사들이 인식한 좋은 수업과 경험한 좋은 수업 사이에 차이가 있었다. 이는 교사들이 좋은 과학 수업에 대해서 명확하게 인지하지 못하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 좋은 과학수업 사례의 발굴과 상호작용이 강조된 수업의 지원 등에 대한 제언을 제시하였다.
