Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to offer an analysis on the research trends of web-based inquiry learning effectiveness in science education, and to present suggestions for future studies. This study compiled data on 43 articles in Korea and international journals. The content analysis of articles published were from academic journals related to science education and educational technology from 2000 to 2014. The results are as follows: Among domestic articles, the participants ranged from school children to high school students. On the contrary, among foreign articles, the participants are centralized on secondary school students; most used experimental studies; most of the studies resulted with web-based inquiry learning in science education showing effectiveness on science learning performance or science inquiry ability; all web-based inquiry learning were designed using different models of teaching and learning, with the result in the case of domestic research, the utilized models refer to the STS learning model, Internet utilization problem-center inquiry learning model, Procedural model, while in the case of overseas research, the utilized models are SCY, IBLE, and TESI model. Implications of the findings are then discussed, which implies considerations for further research related to web-based inquiry learning.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 외에서 진행된 과학교과 웹 기반 탐구학습 효과성연구에 관한 최근 동향을 분석하고 연구 및 설계 시사점을 도출하는 데 있다. 분석 대상 논문은 국내 외의 과학교과, 교육공학 관련 저명 저널 15개 학술지에 게재된 웹 기반 탐구학습 효과성 연구로 국내 16편, 국외 27편으로 총 43편이다. 논문 목록을 추출하기 위하여 '웹 기반 탐구학습', '탐구학습', 'WBI', 'Web-based inquiry learning', 'WISE' 등의 검색 키워드를 사용하였으며 과학 분야와 관련된 연구들 중 초, 중, 고교생을 대상으로 양적연구와 혼합연구로 진행한 논문을 최종 분석 대상으로 선정하였다. 주제별 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 국내 외 모두 2000년대 초반에는 웹 기반 탐구학습 관련 연구가 많지 않았지만, 시간이 지남에 따라 관련 연구의 수가 증가하였다. 또한 국내의 경우에는 특정대상에 집중된 연구는 없었지만, 국외의 경우 중 고등학생을 대상으로 하는 연구가 상대적으로 많았다. 둘째, 많은 연구에서 웹 기반 탐구학습 프로그램을 독립변인으로 선정하여 여러 종속변인들의 변화를 측정한 실험연구와 개발연구가 시행되었다. 이러한 연구를 통해 많은 연구에서 과학교과에서 웹 기반 탐구학습은 과학 성취도와 과학 탐구능력의 향상에 효과적임을 확인하였다. 이 중 실험집단과 통제집단의 효과크기를 분석한 메타분석 결과, 중간정도의 효과로 보고되었다. 셋째, 국내 외 웹 기반 탐구학습에 관련한 연구들은 학습 환경 설계 시, 상이한 학습모형을 활용하는 것이 밝혀졌다. 국내 연구의 경우 웹 기반 탐구학습을 위해 웹사이트를 새로 설계하고 효과성을 검증한 경우가 많았지만, 국외에서는 다양한 테크놀로지 환경(WISE, SCY 등)을 활용한 연구들이 활발하게 진행되고 있었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 앞으로 웹 기반 탐구학습 관련 연구에서 고려해야 할 요소들을 제언하였다.
