초등 과학에서 STS 주제에 대한 수행평가자료의 개발 : 6학년 '우리 몸의 생김새' 단원의 호흡관련 주제를 중심으로

Development of an Elementary Science Performance Assessment Material on STS Theme: Focused on the Respiration Theme in the Unit of 'Our Body'

In this study, we developed an elementary science performance assessment material on STS theme, especially the respiration. The material is constituted with 3 components, which are performance task, students' response format and scoring system, and it also has various objective domains such as applying science knowledge, improving science attitude, using ICT, communicating and reflective thinking. It offers teachers a tool by which they can assess students' abilities on a whole. The task is made with the motivation-evoking content of 'No Smoking'. It is constructed on the activity of writing a letter to his/her father not to smoke. The students' response format is made by problem solving process, and the scoring system is matched with the steps of students' response. The material involves several theoretical backgrounds and the strengths of performance assessment. In addition, due to the detailed students' format and scoring system, it can be used practically in elementary science classroom.
