Abstract

This study was analyzing what studying factors are affecting on the development of science process skills of the 5th graders in the elementary school. For this research, 2 hundreds of elementary students were chosen and questioned on 3 factors like teacher, school environment, and learning strategy which are supposed to affect the development of science process skills. According to the result, there were differences in the categories according to the region. Especially, science process skills were significantly different in level of school category(p<.05)). Science process skills were significantly correlated with teachers and school category, and learning environment in 5th grade. Based on these results, it is expected to perform analysis about the influences that studying variables have on science achievement and attitude as well as scientific reasoning ability. Also, further study is needed about the influence that these small difference have on middle and high school students, though studying variables are not statistically significant on this research.

이 연구는 초등학교 5학년 학생들의 과학 탐구능력에 영향을 미치는 학습환경 변인을 분석하기 위하여 초등학교 학생 200명을 대상으로 조사, 분석하였다. 이러한 조사 결과 지역에 따라서 학습환경 변인의 획득 점수에 차이가 있었으며, 학교와 관련된 범주의 수준에 따라서 과학 탐구능력에 차이가 존재하였다. 또한, 초등학교 5학년 학생들의 과학 탐구능력과 교사와 학교에 관련된 범주와 유의미한 상관을 보였으며, 전체 학습전략과도 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과로 볼 때, 학습환경 변인이 과학 성취도와 과학 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구와 초등학교 5학년에서 나타나는 학습환경 변인의 점수 차이가 중학교와 고등학교에서 어떠한 영향을 줄 것인지에 대한 추가적인 연구가 이루어지길 기대한다.
