Abstract

In this study, we investigated the characteristics in the processes of generating analogy for lessons by pre-service science teachers. Eight pre-service teachers at a college of education in Seoul participated in this study. After the workshop of analogy in science education, they generated analogies for lessons. In order to investigate thought processes deeply, we used the think-aloud method and also conducted semi-structured interviews after their activities. Worksheets written by the pre-service teachers were collected. Their activities and interviews were recorded and videotaped. The characteristics in the processes of generating analogy were analyzed in the perspectives of student, analog, and concept. The analyses of the results revealed that they generated analogies to correct students' misconceptions and also considered misconceptions that could be caused by their analogies. They generated analogies using sources with which students are familiar. They also generated concrete and everyday analogies rather than abstract and artificial analogies. There were some cases where they did not clearly grasp the target concepts and expressed the concepts which were not covered in the unit. On the bases of the results, we suggest some educational implications for pre-service science teacher education.

이 연구에서는 예비과학교사가 수업에서 사용하기 위한 비유를 생성하는 과정에서 나타나는 특징을 조사하였다. 서울특별시에 소재한 사범대학에 재학 중인 예비과학교사 8명이 연구에 참여하였다. 예비교사들을 대상으로 과학 수업에서 비유에 대한 워크숍을 실시한 후 수업에서 사용하기 위한 비유를 생성하도록 하였다. 예비교사들이 비유를 생성할 때 거치는 사고 과정을 심층적으로 조사하기 위하여 발성사고법을 활용하였으며, 비유를 생성한 후에는 반구조화된 면담을 실시하였다. 예비교사들이 비유를 생성한 활동지를 수집하였고, 비유 생성 과정과 면담은 녹음 및 녹화하였다. 예비교사들의 비유 생성 과정에서 나타나는 특징을 학생, 비유물, 개념의 세 가지 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 예비교사들은 학생들의 오개념을 바로잡기 위한 비유를 생성하였고, 자신이 생성한 비유가 유발할 수 있는 오개념을 고려하였다. 또한, 예비교사들은 학생들에게 친숙한 소재로 비유를 생성하였고, 추상적이고 작위적인 비유보다는 구체적이고 일상적인 비유를 많이 생성하였다. 마지막으로, 목표 개념을 명확히 파악하지 못하고 해당 차시에서 다루지 않는 개념까지 비유로 표현하는 경우가 있었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 예비과학교사 교육과정과 관련된 교육적 함의를 논의하였다.
