2007년 개정 과학과 교육과정의 자유탐구에 대한 중등과학교사의 인식 = Secondary Science Teachers` Perception of Free inquiry of the 2007 Revised Science Curriculum

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate secondary science teachers` perception of ``Free inquiry`` of the 2007 revised science curriculum. The questionnaire was developed, asking the features, purposes, subject type, group type, evaluation methods of free inquiry, difficulties in its implementation, demands for training program contents, and teachers` teaching efficacy. The results indicated that secondary science teachers understood the features of ``Free inquiry`` of the 2007 revised science curriculum, basically. But there was a big difference in teachers` understanding about the degree of openness and autonomy of inquiry. As the teaching strategy for free inquiry, teachers preferred the group inquiry and integrated performance assessment, but there was no differences of preference for subject types. For the contents of training program, teachers preferred the ``teaching methods according to the stages of inquiry`` and ``implementation case in detail``, while the preference for ``theoretical background of free inquiry`` was low. As the barriers for implementing free inquiry, number of students and the lack of teaching time were most difficult elements according to teachers` responses. Participants` teaching efficacy for free inquiry was low, but the group of teachers who had shorter teaching career than 10 years was lowest in particular. Therefore, it is important to provide the opportunities of teacher training programme of free inquiry especially for the new teachers, and supply the information about the effective teaching methods and programme of sharing the resources and practice for implementation of free inquiry.
