Abstract

This study investigated the effects of national science leading school programs on students' positive experiences about science (PES) and teachers' perceptions of curriculum implementation factors affecting students' PES. For this study, Test for Indicators of Positive Experiences about Science (TIPES) was administered to a total of 11,488 students from 117 national science leading schools and 1,315 students from 50 normal counterpart schools. In addition, a total of 105 teachers were given a survey asking their curriculum implementation levels and perceptions on importance and performance levels of each identified factor that was known to influence students' PES. Students' total PES scores and scores in five sub-components of PES were widely varied across science leading school program types. In general, participating teachers reported common curriculum implementation factors that most positively affected students' PES including 'science-related activities out of school,' 'student-centered research projects,' 'ICT-related materials' and 'performance assessment.' Based on these results, implications for science education were discussed.

이 연구에서는 과학선도학교 사업이 학생의 과학긍정경험에 미치는 영향 및 관련 교육과정 요소에 대한 교사의 인식을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 2017년 사업을 수행한 과학선도학교 중에서 2017년 2학기 말 학생의 과학긍정경험 지표 검사 결과를 제출한 총 117개 과학선도 학교의 학생 11,488명과, 비교군으로 50개 일반학교 학생 1,315명의 과학긍정경험 지표 검사 결과를 대상으로 학교 유형별로 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 과학긍정경험 전체 점수에서는 창의융합형 과학실 모델학교 학생들의 점수가 과학중점학교와 사다리 프로젝트 학생들에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났으나, 과학긍정경험 하위 영역별로 각기 다른 결과를 보이기 때문에 보다 심층적인 원인 분석이 필요하다. 한편 과학긍정경험에 미치는 교수 학습 방법 및 자료 활용과 평가의 영향에 대한 교사 인식 조사에서 항목별로 차이는 있으나 전반적으로 과학선도학교 여부에 관계없이 많은 교사들이 교수 학습 방법으로 학교 밖 과학 활동, 학생 중심의 과제 연구 및 탐색 활동, 자료의 활용 측면에서는 정보통신기술과 기기의 활용, 그리고 평가 방법 중 관찰 평가와 실험보고서 평가가 학생의 과학긍정경험에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 과학교육에 주는 시사점을 논의하였다.
