Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perspective of pre-service chemistry teachers on the learning situations of visually impaired students through scientific inquiry in a darkroom and to propose a teaching and learning method for students with visual impairments. Twenty-one pre-service chemistry teachers from college of education in Gyeongbuk were encouraged to explore individually hands-on model for the molecular structure of ice freely, and had a discussion with a one of the researchers during the activity. All the conversation and discussion were audio-taped and transcribed for analysis. As a result, pre-service chemistry teachers realized that learning situation of the visually impaired students was quite different with their perception while exploring and figuring out hands-on model of the molecular structure of ice in the darkroom. They already learned and could see this model by themselves but also recognized that visually impaired students had inconvenience and difficulty in learning science concepts. Based on these reflections, some pre-service chemistry teachers suggested directions for modification to fit visually impaired students' needs more.

이 연구에서는 예비 화학교사들이 암실 속 과학탐구 활동을 통해서 시각장애학생의 학습상황에 대한 탐색과정과 이해를 조사하고, 이로부터 시각장애학생의 과학 교수 학습지도에의 활용 방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 경북 지역의 사범대학 3학년에 재학중인 예비 화학교사 21명에게 '얼음의 분자구조'에 대한 모형을 암실 속에서 탐색하게 하였다. 암실에서 이루어진 연구자와의 개방적 대화와 끝난 다음의 자유토론을 녹음하여 전사한 뒤 분석하였다. 분석결과, 예비 화학교사들은 암실 속에서 '얼음의 분자구조' 모형을 탐색하고 학습내용을 구상하면서 시각장애학생의 학습상황이 자신의 생각과 다르다는 것을 인식하게 되었다. 또한, 얼음의 분자구조는 잘 알고 있는 내용이지만 자신의 암실활동 경험에 비추어 시각장애학생이 학습과정에서 겪는 어려움을 짐작할 수 있게 되었다. 이러한 인식에 기초하여 예비 화학교사들은 연구자가 제시한 분자모형을 개선하는 아이디어를 제시하였다.
