Abstract

This study examines the effects of the introduction of artistic and technological factors on science problems for the activation of creative and integrated thinking. We developed problems consisting of STA(problems that introduced technological and artistic factors on the College Scholastic Ability Test) and TA(problems that introduced artistic factors in a technological context). Subjects of the study included 60 high school senior students in Daegu. Their problem solving processes for STA were examined. Four students were interviewed using the retrospective interview method. Also, after finishing TA, the problem solving processes of four students were examined. The results of the study are as follows. First, students selected scientific context more than artistic and technological contexts. It was found that students preferred short length problem in order to solve problems in a short time. Second, students were more interested in artistic and technological contexts of STA than scientific context, but felt that they were more difficult. Moreover, students were more interested about the context of TA than scientific context. Third, irrespective of the given contexts in STA, students have a tendency to solve problems through relatively brief ways by using core scientific knowledge. This can seem to mean that there is a possibility to stereotype the problem solving process through repeated learning. Logical thinking and elaboration were observed, but creativity was not conspicuous. In addition, integrated thinking was not observed in all contexts of STA. Fourth, science related problems of TA showed similar results. However, in problems related to everyday life, students made original descriptions that they based on their daily lives. Particularly, in creative design, original ideas and integrated thinking were observed.

본 연구는 창의적이고 통합적인 사고의 활성화를 위하여 과학 문항에 예술적 요소와 기술적 요소를 도입함에 따른 효과를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 평가 문항은 수능에 예술적 요소와 기술적 요소를 도입한 4개의 문항(STA)과 기술적 상황에 예술적 요소를 도입한 문항(TA)으로 이루어져 있다. 특히, TA는 3개의 문항(과학 및 일상생활과 관련된 문항, 창의적 설계)으로 이루어져 있다. 대구시 소재 고등학교 3학년 학생 60명(남:39명, 여:21명)을 대상으로 STA에 대한 문제해결 과정을 살펴보았으며 상세한 분석을 위해 이 학생들 중 4명을 추출하여 회상면접법을 이용하여 면담도 실시하였다. 또한, STA에 대한 분석 결과를 기반으로 TA를 제작하여 위의 학생 4명을 대상으로 문제해결 과정을 살펴보았으며 위와 마찬가지로 면담도 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학생들은 과학적 상황을 예술적 상황과 기술적 상황보다 많이 선택하였으며 그 이유는 빠른 시간 내에 문제를 해결하기 위해 문제의 길이가 짧은 상황을 선호하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, STA의 예술적 상황과 기술적 상황을 과학적 상황보다 흥미롭지만 어렵게 느끼는 것으로 나타났으며 TA의 예술적 요소를 도입한 기술적 상황도 과학적 상황보다 흥미롭게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 학생들은 STA에서 주어진 상황에 관계없이 문제해결에 필요한 핵심적 과학지식을 사용하여 비교적 간략하게 문제를 해결하는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 학생들의 문제해결 과정이 반복학습에 의해 정형화되었을 가능성이 있음을 의미한다고 볼 수 있다. STA의 모든 상황에서 논리적 사고와 정교성은 나타났으나 독창성은 두드러지지 않았고 통합적 사고는 나타나지 않았다. 넷째, TA의 과학과 관련된 문항에서는 위와 유사한 결과가 나타났으나 일상생활과 관련된 문항의 경우 학생들은 일상생활을 기반으로 서술하였으며 독창성이 나타났으며 특히, 창의적 설계에서는 학생들의 독창적인 아이디어와 통합적 사고가 나타났다.
