Abstract

Many kinds of teaching methods have been used to instruct ethical issues that arise in the field of science and technology. However, few teaching methods of bioethics have been validated by ethical theories, or justified based on practical utility in bioethics teaching. The aim of this article is to suggest teaching methods of bioethics that are appropriate for ethical theories and socio-scientific issues related to biological sciences in secondary schools. In the article, the teaching methods are classified into three types of ethical theories and into three types of socio-scientific issues in biological sciences. The characteristics of nine teaching/learning methods are then described in terms of appropriate bioethical issues or contexts, and ethical theories or principles.

과학과 기술 분야에서 발생하는 윤리적 논쟁거리를 가르치기 위해 많은 방법들이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 그런 생명윤리 교수법이 윤리학 이론을 근거로 정당화되지 않았으며, 실용적 효용도 대부분 확인되지 않았다. 이 논문의 목적은 중 고등학교의 생명과학에 관련된 사회과학적 논쟁거리와 윤리적 이론에 적절한 생명윤리 교수법을 제안하고자 함이다. 이 논문에서는 지금까지 제시된 13가지의 생명윤리 교수-학습 방법 가운데에서 윤리학 이론에 비추어 타당하며 현행 우리나라 교육적 여건에 대한 실용성도 높다고 판단되는 아홉 가지의 생명윤리 교수-학습 방법의 특성을 적용하기 적절한 생명윤리 논쟁거리 또는 상황, 교수-학습 방법을 잘 설명하는 윤리학 이론과 법칙, 실례 등으로 기술하였다.
