Abstract

In this study, we developed and examined the validity and reliability of the Test for Indicators of Positive Experiences about Science (TIPES) that measures students' positive experiences about science. We have developed TIPES through literature reviews, development of the preliminary version of TIPES, a pilot test and revisions of the preliminary version, and the test of the final version. Through literature reviews and Delpi methods, we developed the preliminary version of TIPES, which consists of five categories such as science academic emotion, science-related self-concept, science learning motivation, science-related career aspiration, and science-related attitude. Using the preliminary version, we conducted a pilot test with 198 students consisting of 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th graders, and modified the first version based on the results from the pilot test and expert meetings. We then conducted a main test with the revised version of TIPES with 1,841 students consisting of 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th graders. According to a confirmatory factor analysis, a reliability test and descriptive statistics analyses, TIPES found to have a good validity as well as reliability. In addition, there are statistically significant differences in the norm distribution and scores of TIPES by student's grade, gender, school location, and level of participation in science-related activities. Discussed in the conclusion are the implications of this research for science education research and science teaching and learning practices in the school.

이 연구에서는 과학긍정경험 지표를 측정하기 위한 검사 도구를 개발하였다. 과학긍정경험 지표 검사 도구의 개발 과정은 문헌 연구, 검사 도구 초안 개발, 예비검사 및 검사 도구 수정, 본 검사 실시 등의 과정으로 이루어졌다. 즉 문헌 연구 및 2차례의 델파이 조사를 통하여 과학긍정경험 지표의 5가지 구성 요소(과학 학습 정서, 과학관련 자아개념, 과학 학습 동기, 과학관련 진로 포부, 과학관련 태도)를 설정한 후, 4, 6, 8, 10학년 학생 198명을 대상으로 한 예비검사와 전문가 협의회를 통하여 검사 도구를 수정보완 하였다. 그리고 개발한 검사 도구를 이용하여 4, 6, 8, 10학년 학생 1,841명을 대상으로 과학긍정경험 지표 검사를 실시하였다. 신뢰도 및 확인적 요인 분석 검사 결과, 과학긍정경험 지표 검사 도구의 문항에 대한 신뢰도와 타당도가 모두 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 그리고 과학긍정경험의 규준 분포 및 과학긍정경험지수에서 학년, 성, 지역 규모, 과학관련 활동경험 여부에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 결론에서는 본 연구의 결과가 과학교육 연구 및 학교 과학교육에 주는 시사점과 교육적 함의를 논하였다.
