초등 교사의 과학 교육 과정의 구성에 대한 인식과 과학의 본성에 대한 관점과의 상관 = The Relation of Elementary School Teachers` Point of Views about the Organization of Science Curriculum and the Nature of Science

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between elementary school teachers` points of view about the organization of the science curriculum and their views on the nature of science (NOS). We surveyed 132 elementary school teachers` view points about these two kinds of views, analyzed the data by their variables, and compared the two viewpoints with their personal details. The elementary school teachers thought the science curriculum should be emphasized through the process more than contents. They thought the contents of the science curriculum should be integrated rather than separated. As teachers` career progressed, they focused on the contents more than the process. On the other hands, because elementary school teachers showed the NOS views as relativism, deductivism, decontextualism, content, and instrumentalism, when we plotted sub-viewpoints of NOS in process-content dimension, we thought it would be similar distributions with point of views on the organization of science curriculum. However, there was no meaningful relation. This showed that teachers` views on the organization of the curriculum and the NOS are totally different. These findings suggest further research is needed to find how factors influence elementary school teachers` views on the organization of the science curriculum and what inclinations can occur in science classes with their different views.
