Abstract

The science education reforms put the emphasis of scientific literacy, so that students can understand how scientific knowledge is constructed through scientific inquiry at schools. However, scientific inquiry at schools has a problem as a cookbook system without the opportunity of developing argumentation, where students could understand how they use evidence to support their theory or vice versa. Teachers are supposed to understand the basic elements, purpose, and definition of scientific inquiry to implement authentic scientific inquiry at schools, then develop the instructional strategies of providing the opportunity of scientific argumentation to meet its needs.

초 중고 과학 교육에서는 과학적 소양의 함양을 그 학습 목표로 하고 있으며 이를 위해서 학생들은 과학자들이 어떻게 과학적 지식을 정립해 가는지를 이해하는 과정이 필요하다고 주장하고 있다. 하지만 학교에서의 과학 탐구는 오로지 경험을 중시하는 실험 위주의 과학 탐구를 실행, 어떻게 자신들이 수집한 자료가 세운 이론에 합당한지를 밝히는 논증활동이 없다는 것이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이 고찰 논문은 학교에서의 과학 탐구가 과학자들의 그것과 다르며, 실질적 과학 탐구의 실현을 위해서는 교사들이 탐구 자체의 정의, 목표 및 요소를 정확하게 이해하고, 과학적 논증기회를 부여하기 위한 적절한 교수 전략을 개발해야 함을 보여주고 있다.
