초등과학과 자유탐구 영역에 대한 교사의 관심 분석 = Analysis on teacher's concerns in elementary science self inquiry areas

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is said that the educational quality can't go beyond the teacher's quality. It is not exaggerated that the success of self inquiry, an innovation in scientific curriculum, depends on the teacher performing the innovation. Therefore, this study's purpose is to analyze the teacher's concerns on the self inquiry area in the subject of science in hoping that this study would contribute to make some supply plans for the innovation's establishment.
To achieve the purpose, this study set two, specific research questions as follows.
First, how high is a teacher's concerns level in the self inquiry area?
Second, how high is a teacher's concerns level according to the teacher's background variables(gender, age, teaching carrier period, homeroom teacher yes/no, school size, training yes/no)?
This study targeted total 121 teachers among homeroom teachers for 3/4 grades and specific science teachers in 34 elementary schools located in Yangsan-shi(citi), Gyeongsangnam-do(province) in 2010. To know the teachers' concerns levels in the self inquiry area in science subject, this study carried a relevant questionnaire. The responses were first analyzed in whole-terms. And then they were analyzed centering in terms of gender, age, teaching carrier period, the homeroom teacher yes/no, school size, and training experience yes/no. The analyzed results are as follows:
First, the teachers' concerns levels in the self inquiry area were appeared the level of Zero, and that can mean their concerns in the area is very low or almost indifferent. But they expressed their hopes to know more about the self inquiry area and showed some concerns in its specific operation. Judging from that there is some concerns in better plans related to the self inquiry, it is thought that there may some teachers considering the return to existing methods.
Second, the teachers' concerns in the self inquiry area didn't show significant difference in aspects of gender, age, teaching carrier period, school size except the aspect of homeroom teacher yes/no. Professional science teachers showed higher concerns in the self inquiry area than home-room teachers. Especially, it was appeared that professional science teacher's concerns was higher in terms of specific operation methods, the influence on students, and the research on more effective methods.
In conclusion, this study found that because the education settings is not an laboratory or a test place, it is very important to identify the teachers' concerns level in the educational curriculum's innovations and to increase their concerns by setting suitable supports before running the innovations.
