Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of Science Core schools on students' positive experiences about science (PES) through in-depth interviews with teachers in charge of science core schools. In-depth interviews with teachers were conducted to explore the factors that led to the effectiveness of science core schools in improving the student's PES in light of operational characteristics of science core schools as leading schools, characteristic factors of science core schools on students PES, and improvement plans and requirements of science core schools as leading schools, as well as implications for general high schools. In the case of science core schools, the teacher's enthusiasm for science teaching encouraged students' participation in science classes, promoted students' interest in science other than science-core classes, improved students' inquiry and research skills, increased students' competencies such as communications and collaboration by improving science instructions, and affected career search and exploration based on interests in science experiences. Based on the results, ways to spread the characteristics of science core schools to general schools' curriculum implementation are suggested including providing opportunities to experience the value of science study, to experience science and engineering careers through senior students, to participate in team projects and self-regulated science inquires, and so on.

본 연구에서는 과학선도학교인 과학중점학교의 업무담당 교사들을 중심으로 심층면담을 실시함으로써 과학중점학교가 학생긍정경험에 주는 영향 요인을 탐색하였다. 교사 심층면담을 통해 학생의 정의적 태도, 즉 과학긍정경험 향상에서 과학중점학교의 효과성을 가져온 요인을 과학중점학교 교육과정 운영 측면, 교수학습 방법과 자료 측면, 과학중점학교의 2015개정 교육과정 적용 측면 등에서 탐색하고, 일반학교에 파급할 수 있는 시사점을 도출하였다. 과학중점고의 경우 교사들의 과학수업에 대한 열의로 학생들의 과학학습에 대한 참여도 향상을 이끌어내고 있으며, 중점반 이외의 학생들에게도 과학에 대한 관심을 유발하고, 높아진 실험실 접근성을 통해 학생들의 실험과 탐구 능력 및 연구역량을 향상시키며, 과학수업개선을 통해 학생들의 의사소통과 협력 등의 역량을 신장하고, 과학에 대한 흥미 체험을 토대로 진로 탐색 및 진로 찾기에서도 효과를 발휘하고 있었다. 연구 결과를 토대로 과학중점고의 특성을 일반학교 교육과정 운영에 확대할 수 있는 방안을, 과학 공부의 가치를 체험할 기회 제공, 선배들을 통해 이공계열 진로 체험의 기회 제공, 팀프로젝트 등을 통한 자기주도적 과학탐구의 기회 제공, 과학교사들의 교육과정 재구성 및 수업 변화 의지의 필요성, 일반고 학생과 교사를 위한 공동실험실 운영 및 실험조교 지원의 필요성 등의 측면에서 제안하였다.
