Abstract

In this study, external representation presented in two units, 'Property of Gas' and 'Changes of States of Matter,' in seventh grade of 2015 revised science curriculum, were analyzed to suggest educational implications. External representations presented in five science textbooks were analyzed according to the six criteria, which were 'type of representation,' 'interpretation of surface features,' 'relatedness to text,' 'existence and properties of a caption,' 'degree of correlation between representations comprising a multiple one,' and 'function of representation.' The characteristics of typical representations related to each achievement standard of two units were also analyzed. The results were as follows: The macro representations for 'type of representation', and explicit representations for 'interpretation of surface features' showed highest frequency. For 'relatedness to text' criteria, 'completely related and linked' and 'completely related and unlinked' representations showed the highest frequency. It means that most representations were properly related with the text. There were appropriate captions for most representations. The degree of correlation between representations comprising a multiple one was largely sufficiently linked with regards to the criteria 'degree of correlation between representations comprising a multiple one'. The complete representations for 'function of representation' showed the highest frequency in the aggregate, however incomplete representations showed more frequencies in the inquiry parts. The typical representations for each achievement standard differed in terms of the type, contained information, used symbols and so on. The educational implications with the use of representations presented in seventh grade textbook were discussed.

이 연구에서는 2015 개정 교육과정 7학년 과학의 물질 영역인 '기체의 성질'과 '물질의 상태 변화' 단원에 제시된 외적 표상을 분석하여 표상을 활용한 과학교육을 위한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 표상의 유형, 표면적 특성의 해석, 본문과의 관련성, 캡션의 존재와 특성, 복합적 표상에서 표상 간 관련성, 표상의 기능의 여섯 가지 범주로 구성된 분석틀을 이용하여 다섯 종의 교과서에 나타난 표상의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, '기체의 성질'과 '물질의 상태 변화' 단원의 성취기준을 설명하는 각 교과서에 제시된 대표적인 표상의 특징을 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 표상의 유형에서는 거시적 표상이 가장 높은 빈도로 나타났으며, 표면적 특성의 해석 범주에서는 명시적 특성을 가진 표상의 빈도가 가장 높았다. 본문과의 관련성 범주의 분석 결과, 대부분의 표상이 완전한 연관성과 연결 또는 완전한 연관성과 비연결에 해당하여 표상과 본문 내용은 일관성 있게 연관되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 캡션의 존재와 특성 범주에서는 적절한 캡션이 존재하는 표상의 빈도가 가장 높았고, 복합적 표상에서 표상 간의 관련성은 충분히 연결된 표상이 대부분이었다. 표상의 기능 범주에서는 완성형이 가장 높은 빈도를 보였으나 탐구 활동에 제시된 표상에서는 미완성형이 높은 빈도를 나타냈다. 성취기준과 관련된 대표적인 표상을 분석한 결과, 표상의 유형, 표상에 제시된 정보및 기호의 사용 등에서 교과서별로 차이를 나타냈다. 연구의 결과로부터 7학년 물질 영역의 표상 활용과 관련된 교육적 시사점을 논의하였다.
