미국 Nature-Study 형성 과정과 과학교육에의 시사점 = The Formation Process of Nature-Study in U.S. and Its Implication for Science Education

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구의 목적은 Nature-Study의 형성 과정을 역사적으로 고찰함으로써 오늘날 이루어지고 있는 과학교육의 방향과 의미를 재고하여 시사점을 찾는 것이다. Nature-Study의 사상은 실물 교육을 강조한 캄파넬라, 라트케, 코메니우스, 페스탈로치 등의 사상에 기초하고 쉘던의 사물학습, 아가시의 자연사, 파커의 진보주의에 의해 형성되었다. Nature-Study는 방법적 측면에서는 사물학습의 '실물 주제 중심의 학습', 내용적 측면에서는 자연사의 '자연에 대한 학습', 철학적 측면에서는 진보주의의 '학습자 중심의 학습'에 영향을 받아 발전해 나갔다. 아가시의 제자로 쉘던의 오스위고 사범학교와 파커의 쿡 카운티 사범학교에서 근무한 스트레이트는 이 세 영역을 종합화하여 Nature-Study 형성의 기틀을 마련하였다. 이어 쿡 카운티 사범학교의 잭만은 Nature-Study를 교과로서 확립시켰으며 코넬 대학의 베일리와 콤스톡은 미국 Nature-Study 협회를 구성하여 대중화에 공헌하였다. 그러나 교육자들이 점차 통합적인 Nature-Study를 거부하고 직접 경험보다 교과서를 중요하게 여기면서 1920년대 이후 Nature-Study가 쇠퇴하게 되었다. 과학교육에서 Nature-Study 정신은 통합과 실제적 학습을 강조하는 오늘날 과학교육에 있어 자연을 주제로 한 통합교육, 자기주도적 학습, 자연과의 교감, 학습자의 인격 형성에 큰 역할을 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study purposes to historical approach the formation process of Nature-Study, and to re-evaluate its definition and direction at present. The idea of Nature-Study originated from Campanella, Ratke and Comenius, who emphasized real things. The idea developed through Object Lessons of Sheldon, the Natural History of Agassiz, and Progressivism of Parker. They acted as the main contributors who evolved the idea of Nature-Study and its core fields that involve: 'studying with real things' in Object Lessons which brought the methodical aspects to the idea, 'studying with nature' from Natural History that enhanced the content characteristics and 'learner-centered education' from Progressivism, which impacted the philosophical aspects. Straight (a fellow student of Agassiz) was a teacher for Sheldon Oswego normal school and Parker's Cook County normal school, who synthesized the fields together and paved the way for the formation of Nature-Study. Jackman of Cook Country normal school established Nature-Study as a school curriculum and Bailey and Comstock of Cornell University formed the American Nature-Study Society and as a result, Nature-Study started to gain popularity. However, many educators increasingly rejected Nature-Study as a unifying topic, and preferred the use of textbooks rather than firsthand experiences. This hindered the nature-study movement and it declined since the 1920s. But today, the Nature-study idea can play a huge role in developing science education, inclusive education centered nature, self-initiated retrieval, sympathy with nature and character building of students.
