초록

본 연구에서는 학생간의 활발한 언어적 상호작용을 촉진하기 위해, 협동적 환경에서 실시한 과학 개념 학습을 위한 소집단 토론이 분자 수준에서의 개념 이해, 적용력, 학생간의 협상에 대한 인식, 의사소통 불안에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 남녀 공학 중학교 1학년 두 학급을 통제 집단과 처치 집단으로 선정하고, '물질의 세 가지 상태'와 '분자 운동' 단원에 대하여 총 7차시 동안 학급별로 전통적 수업과 협동적토론 수업을 실시하였다. 이원 공변량 분석 결과, 처치 집단의 분자 수준에서의 개념 점수가 통제 집단에 비하여 유의미하게 높았으며, 특히 사전 성취 수준하위 학생들의 향상이 두드러졌다. 그러나 적용력 검사에서는 두 집단 간의 차이가 유의미하지 않았다. 학생간의 협상에 대한 인식은 처치 집단이 보다 긍정적이었지만, 의사소통 불안은 두 집단 간에 차이가 없었다.

This study investigated the effect of small group discussion for science concept learning in cooperative learning environments that encourage verbal interaction with peers upon students' understanding of the concepts at the particulate level, application abilities, perceptions of students' negotiation, and communication apprehension. Two classes of 7th grade at a coed middle school were assigned to the control and the treatment groups. They were taught about change of states and motion of molecules for 7 class periods. Two-way ANCOVA results revealed that the scores of a conceptions test for the treatment group were significantly higher than those for the control group, and that the low-achievers in the treatment group performed better than those in the control group. However, the scores of two groups did not differ significantly in an application test. The perceptions of students' negotiation for the treatment group were more positive, but the scores of the communication apprehension for two groups were not significantly different.
