초록

이 연구의 목적은 과학 글쓰기를 통해 고등학생의 지구 시스템에 대한 이해와 시스템 사고 과정을 분석하는 것이다. 글쓰기 활동에 활용한 자료는 지구과학 I 교과 내용 중 지구환경 변화에 관련된 3가지 주제(지구 온난화, 화산분출, 사막화)이며 이와 관련된 과제를 개발하였다. 개발한 자료는 고등학교 2학년 학생 8명을 대상으로 투입하였으며 작성한 과학 글쓰기 내용을 바탕으로 DAET-C 체크리스트와 지구 시스템에 관련된 개념을 구성요소로 하여 인과지도를 작성한 후, 이를 근거로 하여 시스템 사고의 관점에서 분석하였다. 그 결과로 첫째, 학생들은 지구 시스템의 구성, 지구 시스템의 상호작용, 지구과학적 소양, 시스템 순으로 지구 시스템을 이해하는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 학생들의 과학 글쓰기 내용을 바탕으로 각각의 주제별로 인과지도를 작성한 결과 피드백 순환 고리가 나타난 학생은 연구에 참여한 8명 중 지구 온난화 관련 주제에서는 4명, 화산 분출 관련 주제에서는 1명, 사막화 관련 주제에서는 4명의 학생이 지구 시스템에서 하위 요소 간의 상호작용을 고려하는 시스템 사고를 하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 결론적으로 연구에 참여한 학생들은 지구환경 변화가 지구계 하위 요소 사이의 상호작용을 통해 복잡한 과정 속에서 복합적으로 이루어지고 있다는 사고를 하고 있었으나, 지구 시스템의 순환에 대한 과정에서 시스템 사고는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 과학 글쓰기 활동을 활용하여 지구 시스템 교육과 시스템 사고를 향상 시킬 수 있는 다양한 연구가 필요할 것이다.

The purposes of this study were to analyze high school students' understanding about the Earth system and systems thinking process, and to develop science writing programs designed to assess students' understanding about themes of Earth Science such as global warming, volcanoes, and desertification. A total of 8 $11^{th}$ grade students from general high schools participated in the writing program and draw the causal maps. The methods of this study are as follows. First, DAET-C was used to investigate the way of students' understanding about the Earth systems. What the students' best understood was the component of the Earth systems followed by the interaction of the Earth systems and the scientific literacy of Earth science. Second, feedback circulations on the causal maps were found in four students in global warming section, one student in volcanic eruption section, and four students in desertification section, which means that systems thinking was not largely employed by the students. Consequently, the student participants understood that the global change was happening in correlation with complex concepts and factors, but they were short of using systems thinking in their science study. Therefore, the result of this study suggests that more studies be conducted to develop systems thinking in Earth Science learning through science writing programs.
