초록

과학적 설명 구성은 과학의 본질적 실행임에도 불구하고 교사들은 과학적 설명의 형식적 구조에 익숙하지 않으며 좋은 과학적 설명을 평가하는 기준 역시 지니고 있지 못한 경우가 많다. 그에 따라 본 연구는 과학적 설명의 개념을 명료히 하고 과학적 설명 구성을 안내할 수 있는 과학적 설명 구성 도구를 제안하고 이 도구가 예비교사들의 응결 현상에 대한 설명 수준 변화에 미치는 영향을 탐색하였다. 연구 결과 총 네 단계의 설명 구성 수준 중 상당수의 예비교사는 사전에 기술(description) 수준에 머물렀으나 이 도구의 활용을 통해 연관적(associative) 수준 이상의 설명을 구성하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이 도구는 예비교사들이 현상을 설명하기 위한 개념적 틀을 정립하고 논리적 설명과 미시적 해석을 이끄는 어포던스를 지니는 것으로 분석되었다. 이 연구는 예비교사들이 과학적 설명에 대한 형식과 준거를 이해하고 이를 자신의 설명 구성에 적용할 수 있음을 보여주었다는 점에서 의의를 지닌다. 앞으로 다양한 주제와 분과 영역에서 예비교사들의 과학적 설명 수준 향상을 위한 노력이 수반되어야 할 것이며, 나아가 예비교사들에게 실제적인 환경 속에서 학생들이 과학적 설명을 구성할 수 있도록 장려하는 수업 경험을 제공할 필요가 있다.

While scientific explanation is a fundamental component of science, teachers often lack familiarity with the formal structure of scientific explanations and the criteria for assessing their quality. Consequently, this study aims to clarify the concept of scientific explanation and proposes a tool for constructing scientific explanations. The primary objective is to explore the tool's impact on enhancing the explanatory skills of pre-service teachers when it comes to the phenomenon of condensation. The research findings indicate that many pre-service teachers initially operated at a description level during the pre-test. However, the implementation of the tool enabled them to advance their explanatory skills beyond the associative level. Notably, the tool was analyzed for its ability to provide pre-service teachers with a conceptual framework for explaining phenomena and guiding logical explanations and micro-level interpretations. This study holds significance in demonstrating that pre-service teachers can comprehend the formalities and criteria of scientific explanations and apply them to enhance their own explanatory abilities. Moving forward, efforts should be made to enhance the scientific explanation level among pre-service teachers across various topics and subject areas. Furthermore, pre-service teachers need classroom experiences that foster the construction of scientific explanations in authentic contexts.
