과학 교육에서 기능 중심의 과학 탐구에 대한 비판적 고찰 = A Critical Review of the Skill-Based Approach to Scientific Inquiry in Science Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to critically review the skill-based approach to scientific inquiry in science education and to explore the meaning of science practices that are emphasized in recent science education reform movement. An extensive review of relevant literature was carried out, and the results were summarized according to the detailed themes of the study. In the skill-based approach of which Science-A Process Approach (SAPA) is a representative example, science process skills were presented as hierarchically connected with one another, they were believed to be transferable or generalizable, and science learning through discovery was stressed. These points of view are, however, contradicted with those of the modern philosophy of science which suggests the theory-laden nature of using the skills.
The skill-based view has also been criticized by the fact that the use of inquiry skills is content-specific or context-dependent and that science theories or principles cannot be discovered by induction. In contrast, the recent view understands science practices holistically, emphasizes the diverse ways of doing the practices which vary with different contents or contexts, and considers student ideas importantly in the science classroom. The findings of this study can contribute to the development of a new science curriculum by providing implications for establishing a consistent view on scientific inquiry.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구의 목적은 과학 탐구에 대한 기능 중심의 접근에 대해 비판 적으로 살펴보고 최근 과학 교육 개혁에서 강조되고 있는 과학적 실천의 의미를 시험적으로 탐색하는 것이었다. 이를 위하여 관련 문헌 들을 수집하여 고찰하였으며, 그 결과를 세부 주제에 따라 정리하였 다. Science-A Process Approach (SAPA)로 대표되는 기능 중심의 접근에서는 과학 탐구 기능들을 위계적으로 연계하여 제시하고, 이들은 전이성 또는 일반화 가능성이 높다고 주장하였으며, 발견을 통한 과학 학습을 강조하였다. 하지만 이러한 입장은 기능의 사용에 이론이 적재되어 있다는 현대 과학 철학의 관점과 상충되었으며, 탐구에서 사용되는 기능들이 내용-특이적 또는 맥락-의존적이라는 사실과 추상적인 과학 이론이나 원리는 귀납적으로 발견될 수 없다는 점에서 비판을 받아 왔다. 이와는 달리 과학적 실천을 강조하는 최근의 입장 에서는 과학적 실천을 총체적인 행위로 이해하고, 그것이 전개되는 양상은 내용이나 맥락에 따라 다르다는 점을 강조하며, 과학 수업에 서도 학생의 아이디어를 중요하게 고려하고자 한다. 이러한 연구 결과는 과학 탐구에 관한 일관된 관점을 정립하는 데 시사점을 제공함 으로써 새로운 과학 교육과정 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
