Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate 6th grade pupil's thoughts during classification activities. Two suitable tools in classification activity achievement were developed to achieve this purpose. The first was an artificial stimulus card in which the attribute was prominent; and the other a natural stimulus card in which the attribute was less prominent. Participants of the study were 8 6th grade pupils from D elementary school in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Data were collected from interviews with the pupils, the pupil's recordings of classification, the investigator's observation of pupil's actions, and video recordings of the pupil's subject classification process. Results found in this study were as following. First, when doing classification 6th grade pupils considered attribute observation, attribute estimation, preliminary inspection, criteria selection, and sample identification. Second, 6th grade pupil classification thought process was found to be repetitive, passing through the steps of attribute observation, attribute estimation, preliminary inspection, criteria selection, and lastly, sample identification. Third, 6th grade pupils took advantage of cognitive economic efficiency. Study findings also revealed guidance for the teaching and learning of scientific classification. First, once teachers understand the classification thought process of students, more effective classification guidance will be possible. Second, it is necessary that guidance fit each step of the classification thought process.

이 연구의 목적은 초등학교 6학년 학생의 분류활동에서 나타나는 사고 유형, 과정과 특징을 분석하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 분류활동 수행에 적합한 2가지 도구를 개발하였다. 첫 번째는 속성이 분명하게 드러나는 인공자극카드이고, 두 번째는 속성이 잘 드러나지 않는 자연자극카드이다. 서울시 영등포구 소재 D초등학교 6학년 8명을 대상으로 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 자료는 피험자의 과제 수행과정을 녹화한 비디오테이프, 피험자의 분류 기록지, 연구자의 피험자 행동 관찰, 피험자와의 면담 등 자료 삼각측정법에 의해 획득하였다. 연구결과, 6학년 학생들은 분류활동에서 속성 관찰, 속성 평가, 예비 점검, 기준 선택, 샘플 동정의 다섯 가지 유형의 사고를 하였으며, 모든 항목을 분류할 때까지 속성 관찰 $\rightarrow$ 속성 평가 $\rightarrow$ 예비 점검 $\rightarrow$ 기준 선택 $\rightarrow$ 샘플 동정의 과정을 반복하였다. 그리고 인지 경제성을 활용하여 분류하여 분류하였다. 이상의 연구 결과는 과학 분류 학습 지도에 다음과 같은 시사점을 줄 수 있다. 첫째,교사가 학생들의 분류 사고과정을 이해한다면, 보다 효과적인 분류학습 지도가 가능할 것이다. 둘째, 분류사고 과정의 각 단계를 고려한 단계별 학습지도가 필요하다.
