Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate pre-service middle school earth science teachers' perceptions about the learning of geological field trip. The study sample consists of 39 undergraduate students at the university located in a metropolitan city. Additionally, 4 pre-service earth science teachers are semi-structure interviewed. The instrument of the study includes a 5-category perception about the learning of geological field trip, which consists of needs, educational values, educational experience, teaching methods, and training for learning. The results are as follows. First, participants are important to the need and educational values of learning about the geological field trip regardless of gender and grade level. Second, all participants have experienced geological field trip in college. They have more opportunities to experiment for field trip as they advance to higher grade. There is significant difference between lower and higher graders in terms of the goal of learning about geological field trip. It needs a new lesson model to teach geology between men and women regarding teaching methods category. In order to practice geological field trip in school, participants perceive that they need the knowledge of geological context, experiment of field trips, and how to teach geological field trip to students. This study suggests that pre-service earth science teachers' perceptions include how to teach and learn geological field trip during their college year.

이번 연구는 예비 중등 지구과학 교사의 야외지질학습에 관한 인식을 조사하여 야외지질학습을 활성화하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 서울 소재 대학교 예비 중등 지구과학교사 39명을 대상으로 야외지질학습의 필요성, 교육적 가치, 야외지질학습을 위한 교육적 경험, 야외지질학습을 교수하기 위한 지도방법, 예비교사 단계에서 필요로 하는 교육에 관해 인식조사를 실시하였다. 4명의 예비 중등 지구과학교사와는 추가로 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 이번 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 연구 참여자는 성별과 학년에 유의미한 차이 없이 야외지질학습이 필요하다고 인식하고 있었다. 또한 야외지질학습에 대한 교육적 가치도 긍정적으로 인식하고 있음을 확인하였다. 야외지질학습을 위한 교육적 경험에 관한 문항에서는 모든 예비교사들이 야외지질답사 경험이 있다고 하였으며 학년이 올라갈수록 경험의 횟수가 증가하였다. 그리고 야외지질학습 지도 방법에 관한 문항에서는 야외지질학습의 목적에 대해서 학년 간 유의미한 차이가 있음을 볼 수 있었고, 새로운 수업 모듈을 개발해야한다는 문항에서는 남녀 간의 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 야외지질학습을 실행하기 위해 예비교사 과정에서 필요로 하는 교육은 지질학적인 지식, 야외답사 경험, 야외지질학습을 지도하기 위한 새로운 교수법에 관한 것이다. 이번 연구는 야외지질학습을 실행하기 위해 교사 양성단계에서 필요로 교육을 포함하여 야외지질학습에 대한 인식을 탐색하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
