Abstract

In this study, we examine whether the description of the elementary science curriculum guide, the concept of evolution, and the beliefs of teachers affect the teaching practice in classes related to adaptation of elementary school teachers. First, we examined the alternative concept among the sentences described in the bio-adaptation-related unit of the 2009 Elementary Science Curriculum Teacher's Guide and identified the effects of this description on the teaching practice of elementary school teachers. Next, six elementary school teachers were classified according to the results of the evolutionary concept test paper and the evolutionary belief test paper, and based on the class recording data and interview data, whether there is a difference in teaching execution. As a result, it was confirmed that there were a total of 18 descriptions corresponding to the concept of evolutionary alternatives in the analysis of instruction descriptions, and that these descriptions influenced elementary school teachers' adaptation concepts and teaching practice. Next, the group with high and low levels of evolution differ in the areas of "recognition of importance in the unit, distinction between adaptation concepts in the general sense and adaptation concepts in the biological sense, errors in the class," and "recognition of evolutionary education needs in the elementary curriculum." This study is meaningful in that it qualitatively confirms the research on the evolution concept of elementary school teachers, which has been approached quantitatively, and in-depth, confirms how the description, evolution concepts, and evolutionary beliefs affect elementary school teachers' biological adaptation concepts.

본 연구에서는 초등과학 교육과정 지도서의 생물의 적응 관련 서술, 교사의 진화 개념 및 신념이 초등교사의 생물의 적응 관련 교수실행에 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 먼저 2009 초등과학 교육과정 교사용 지도서 중 생물의 적응 관련 단원에 서술된 문장 중 대안개념을 살펴보고 이러한 서술이 교사의 교수실행에 준 영향을 파악하였다. 다음으로 초등교사 6명을 진화 개념 검사지와 진화 신념 검사지 결과에 따라 그룹을 구분하고, 수업 녹음 자료와 면담 자료 등을 바탕으로 교수실행에 차이가 있는지 알아보았다. 연구 결과, 지도서 서술 분석에서 진화 대안개념에 해당하는 서술은 총 18건이었고, 이러한 서술이 교사의 적응 개념과 교수실행에 영향을 주었음을 확인하였다. 다음으로 진화 개념 수준이 높은 그룹과 낮은 그룹은 '적응 개념이 나타난 차시의 중요성 인식', '생물학적 의미의 적응 개념과 일반적 의미의 적응 개념 구분', 그리고 '적응과 진화의 관련성 인식, 수업 중 적응 관련 오류 여부' 부분에서 차이가 나타났고, 진화 신념에 차이를 보이는 수용 그룹, 미정 그룹, 비수용 그룹에 따라 '초등교육과정 내 진화 교육 필요성의 인식, 수업에서 나타나는 본인의 오류에 대한 반응'부분에서 차이를 보였다. 본 연구는 초등교사의 진화 개념 연구를 질적으로 확인하고, 지도서의 서술 오류와 진화 개념 및 신념이 초등교사의 생물학적 적응 개념 교수실행에 미치는 영향에 대해 심층적으로 확인했다는 데 의의가 있다.
