초등학교 과학 연극 수업 사례 연구 = Case Study on Science Drama in Elementary School

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Science drama can be an useful tool for understanding the nature of science, Science-Technology-Society relationship by providing indirect experiences to young students. Specific science concept and knowledge can also be learned with high interests. In this study, to explore the usefulness of science drama in elementary science lessons, two scripts of science drama and lesson plans were developed and implemented. Six step model for science drama lessons was also suggested. One was `Manhattan Project` which dealt with social, ethical responsibility in using science & technology (science argument drama), and the other was `Mom, My blood type is O` which explained the heredity of blood type (science concept drama). Two teachers were asked to write their journals during preparation and implementation of science drama lessons, and the lessons were observed by the researcher and video taped for analysis. Some students were interviewed just after the lessons by the teacher and all students were asked to write their impressions, change of their thought, what is leant etc. Overall responses of students and teachers on the two science drama lessons were very positive, `Mom, My blood type is O` got more positive responses, and girls were more positive than boys. Some students anticipated another science drama even suggest topics for it. `Mom, My blood type is O` was successful in making students (grade 3) understand the knowledge related with heredity of blood type (71% of the students got perfect answer). In `Manhattan Project` students (grade 5) perceived more diverse location of responsibility after the lesson, but the danger and harmfulness of atomic power was embossed. This implied the need of more careful planning for the relevant learning activities before and after the play of science drama.Two teachers perceived the science drama as a new, useful tool for some subject which is hard to deal with by other teaching method. They were also satisfied with students` high interest and engagement during the science drama lessons but the extra time and effort for the lessons were pointed out as a main difficulties.
