Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore ways to improve developing exam questions for Earth science education by analyzing exam trend of Earth science education in the secondary-school teacher employment test (TET, hereafter). For this purpose, we developed an analysis framework to analyze items of Earth science education in the secondary-school TET, and this analysis framework covers required courses for 'theory of Earth science education' of 'Earth science teaching certificate courses'. The analysis framework consists of big categories, assessment domains, and assessment components. We divided system changes in secondary-school TET into 4 types, and analyzed exams of 2014-2018 school year, which is the existing exam system. According to the results, 22-24 points out of 80 have been allotted to Earth science education. Among assessment domains, Earth science Teaching & Learning domain has taken the highest percentage of scores and item numbers, followed by Earth science inquiry, history & philosophy of science, etc. For each domain, we analyzed exam tendencies in detail. Based the results, we suggested ways to improve developing exam questions for Earth science education in the secondary-school TET, and ways to improve curriculum for Earth science education in the teacher education program.

본 연구의 목적은 현행 중등교사임용시험의 지구과학교육학 출제 경향을 분석함으로써 지구과학교육학 출제 개선방안을 도출하려는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 중등교사자격증 표시과목 '지구과학'의 기본이수과목 중 '지구과학교육론'에 해당하는 중등교사임용시험 지구과학교육학 문항 분석을 위한 분석틀을 도출하였다. 지구과학교육학 문항 분석틀은 대영역, 평가영역, 평가요소 등으로 구성된다. 중등교사임용시험의 변천 과정을 시기별로 4가지 유형으로 구분하고, 본 연구에서는 중등교사임용시험 체제가 현재와 같은 2단계 전형으로 바뀐 2014학년도 부터 2018학년도까지 출제된 1차 전공시험의 지구과학교육학 문항들을 분석 대상으로 선정하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 전체 전공 80점 중에서 지구과학교육학에는 22-24점이 배정되어 출제되어왔다. 평가영역별 출제 경향과 배점을 살펴보면, 지구과학 교수학습 영역의 출제 비중이 가장 높았으며, 이어서 지구과학 탐구, 과학사 및 과학철학 등의 순으로 출제되었다. 각 평가영역별로 출제경향을 상세하게 분석하였다. 연구결과를 토대로 향후 중등교사임용시험 지구과학교육학 출제 및 평가 개선방안과, 교사양성대학의 지구과학교육학 교육과정 개선방안을 제안하였다.
