초등 과학 생명 영역 내용에 대한 학생들의 의문 유형과 해결방법에 관한 연구 = Types of and Solving Methods about Questions Suggested by Elementary School Students in Life Areas of Science Curriculum

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, the frequencies and types of questions about LIFE areas of the Science Curriculum of elementary school students were investigated through in-depth interviews with twelve 4th and 5th graders.
The results of the research can be summarized as follows:
(1) In conjectural question, the proportions of 'object exploration question' and 'object verification question' were high in all of the 4th graders and the students of low achievement level.
(2) The numbers of causal questions generated by the 4th graders were much higher than those of the 5th graders.
(3) The frequencies of the predictive, methodological, applicative questions were very low both in 4th and 5th grade students.
(4) The numbers of conjectural questions were more in all students except the low achievement level of 4th graders at not-yet-taken contents than at already-taken ones.
(5) The numbers of causal questions were more in all students except the low and middle achievement levels of 4th graders at not-yet-taken contents than at already-taken ones.
(6) The numbers of the predictive, methodological, applicative questions of the 4th graders were more at not-yet-taken contents than at already-taken ones, whereas opposite trend in the 5th graders.
(7) The numbers of students' curriculum-related questions were more in all students except the low and middle achievement levels of 4th graders at not-yet-taken contents than at already-taken ones.
(8) As ways for solving or seeking answers about questions, the 4th graders suggested methods of consulting experts or teachers (23.9%), internet searching (21.6%), and books or science-related encyclopedia (20.3%), while the 5th graders suggested the internet searching (36.5%), consulting experts or teachers (24.8%), and books or science-related encyclopedia (17.7%).
Based an these results, we suggest several ways for improving the question-posing abilities of the students and adequate use of students' questions in the process of science teaching learning.
