Abstract

The purposes of this study were to develop the customized instructional programs by the causes of science underachievement and to identify the effectiveness of these programs. For these, we analyzed the characteristics of underachievers and causes of science underachievement and classified 22 7th grade science underachievers into three different types such as lack of science process skill, lack of science learning motivation, and lack of science learning strategy. They then were divided into the experimental and comparative groups. Instructional programs treated for both groups covered the same topics and were conducted once a week for 60 minutes each time for 15 weeks. Eleven students in the comparative group were treated with an activity-centered science program that dealt with basic science concepts. Unlike science underachievers in the comparative group, those in the experimental group were given customized instructional program. After the treatment, students were administered several tests including a test on awareness of the program, science process skill test, science learning motivation and strategy test, and academic science achievement test. In addition to the results of those tests, worksheets, daily activity reports, and interviews were used to evaluate a customized instructional program that was applied to the experimental group. Results of the study showed that these programs relieved science underachievers from the cause of poor achievement and accordingly help them achieve better performance in academics. In addition, both lack of learning motivation and lack of learning strategy types tended to relieve the other causes of science underachievement. Also, the experimental group showed a high level of satisfaction with the customized instructional programs.

이 연구의 목적은 과학 학습부진을 해소하기 위해 부진 원인에 따라 맞춤형 지도를 할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하고, 이를 적용하여 그 효과를 확인하는 것이었다. 이를 위해 과학 학습부진의 특성 및 원인을 분석하여 중학교 1학년 과학학습 부진아 22명을 과학 탐구능력 부족형, 과학 학습동기 부족형, 과학 학습전략 부족형의 세 가지 유형으로 나누고 실험 집단과 비교 집단으로 구분하였다. 두 집단에 적용한 프로그램은 동일 단원과 주제로 구성했으며, 비교집단에는 기본 개념과 활동 중심 프로그램, 실험집단에는 원인 유형별 프로그램을 주 1회, 60분씩 15주 동안 투입하였다. 투입이 끝난 후, 적용한 프로그램에 대한 인식검사, 과학탐구능력 검사, 학습동기 및 학습전략 검사, 학업성취도 평가를 하였으며, 이들 평가 결과와 함께 학생활동지, 연구일지, 수업 전사내용, 학생 면담 등을 통해 프로그램 효과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 실험 집단에 투입된 맞춤형 프로그램은 세 가지 부진유형 집단별로 탐구능력, 학습동기, 학습전략이 각각 향상되어 부진원인을 해소하였고, 더불어 학업성취도도 향상되었다. 과학 학습동기 부족형과 과학 학습전략 부족형은 다른 부진 원인도 함께 향상되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 실험집단에서 과학 학습부진 유형별 맞춤형 프로그램에 대해 높은 만족도를 보였다. 이러한 연구 결과로부터 과학 학습부진 원인에 따른 맞춤형 프로그램이 과학학습 부진아들의 부진원인 해소와 학업성취도 향상에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
