Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the educational context variables on students' science achievement and interest in TIMSS 2015. TIMSS 2015 science data and questionnaire results were used to fit the Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) in this study. According to the results, books at home, parents' level of education, and students' views on science lessons have significant influence on science achievement of above-high level 4th-grade students, and books at home on below-intermediate level 4th-grade students. Books at home, students' views on science lessons, and school composition by student economic background have significant influence on science achievement of above-high level 8th-grade students, and books at home and students' views on science lessons on science achievement of below-Intermediate level 8th-grade students. In all grade levels, books at home, and students' views on science lessons have significant influence on science achievement and interest. Discussed in the conclusion are ways to improve science teaching and learning including offering systematic reading programs for all students, reinforcement of student-participation in science classes, connecting science hands-on activities with science concepts for below-Intermediate level elementary students, and so on.

본 연구의 목적은 TIMSS 2015 결과를 분석하여 성취수준별로 학생들의 과학성취도와 흥미에 영향을 주는 교육맥락변인을 탐색하고 집단 특성에 맞는 교수 학습 방법을 도출하려는 것이다. 과학 성취와 흥미에 미치는 교육맥락변인의 영향력을 비교하기 위해 위계선형모형에 의한 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 4학년 과학성취도의 경우에는 우수수준 이상 학생들의 성취도에 영향을 주는 변인은 도서보유량, 부모학력, 수업에 대한 학생 인식이었고, 보통수준 이하 학생들의 성취도에 영향을 주는 변인은 도서 보유량으로 확인되었다. 8학년 과학성취도의 경우에는 우수수준 이상 학생들의 성취도에 영향을 주는 변인은 도서 보유량, 수업에 대한 학생 인식, 재학생의 경제적 배경으로 확인되었고, 보통수준 이하 학생들의 성취도에 영향을 주는 변인은 도서 보유량과 과학 수업에 대한 학생 인식으로 확인되었다. 학년을 막론하고 도서 보유량과 과학 수업에 대한 학생 인식은 학생의 과학 성취도와 흥미에 주는 영향력이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 연구결과를 토대로 우리나라 초등학교와 중학교 과학과 교수학습에 주는 시사점을 모든 학생들을 위한 체계적인 독서 프로그램 제공, 중학교 학생참여형 과학 수업을 활성화, 초등학교 보통수준 이하의 학생들을 위한 탐구실험 체험과 개념 연계 수업 등의 측면에서 제안하였다.
