Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve the reflective thinking education so far and to improve the reflective thinking, academic achievement and scientific attitude of elementary school students. Two sixth grade classes were divided into two groups. Experimental group(13 boys, 11 girls) was treated with elementary science class using Reflective Thinking promotion strategies using Thinking maps and comparison group(14 boys, 10 girls) was treated with traditional way. The results of this study were as follows: First, reflective thinking strategy program using thinking maps has positively influenced the reflective thinking of elementary school students. Second, reflective thinking strategy program using thinking maps did not significantly affect elementary school students' academic achievement. Third, reflective thinking strategy program using thinking maps positively influenced elementary school students' scientific attitudes. Fourth, elementary school students' satisfaction with reflective thinking strategy programs using thinking maps was generally high. Most of students felt that this program was useful to learn, and to be interest in science. Based on these results, reflective thinking promotion strategies using thinking maps may be effective for reflective thinking and scientific attitudes of elementary school students.

본 연구에서는 생각 지도를 이용한 반성적 사고 촉진 전략이 초등학생의 반성적 사고, 과학학업성취도 및 과학적 태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 6학년 2개 학급을 실험반과 비교반으로 나누어서 실험반에는 반성적 사고 촉진 전략을 활용한 수업을 처치하였고, 비교반에는 전통적인 지도서 위주의 수업을 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같았다. 첫째, 생각 지도를 이용한 반성적 사고 전략은 초등학생의 반성적 사고력 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 끼쳤다. 둘째, 생각 지도를 이용한 반성적 사고 전략은 초등학생의 과학 학업성취도 향상에 유의미한 차이를 나타내지 못했다. 셋째, 생각 지도를 이용한 반성적 사고 전략은 초등학생의 과학적 태도 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 끼쳤다. 넷째, 생각 지도를 이용한 반성적 사고 전략을 활용한 수업에 대한 학생들의 만족도는 매우 높았고, 대부분의 학생들은 과학 수업에 대한 흥미가 높아졌다.
