과학 실험의 목적에 대한 초등 예비 교사들의 인식 = Elementary Pre-service Teachers` Views about the Purpose of Science Experiments

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the elementary pre-service teachers` views about the purpose of science experiments. For the study, the views about the purposes of scientists` experiments and school science experiments were surveyed from 227 pre-service teachers. And the responses were analyzed based on their gender, intensive majors and school science test scores. The main results of the study are as follows. First, in relation to the purpose of scientists` experiments, the pre-service teachers considered internal values of doing experiments were more worthy than the external values of it. In particular, the pre-service teachers responded that the most important purpose of the science experiments is ``to get the evidences for the theories and arguments``. On the other hand, the views from the women and social studies major pre-service teachers were more diverse than those of the man and science major pre-service teachers. Second, in relation to the purpose of school science experiments, the pre-service teachers excessively considered that the internal values of school science experiments were more worthy than the external values. In particular, only few pre-service teachers were aware of social and personal aspects of the experiments, though they considered well that the experiments are useful tools for the school science study. Third, there were quite different aspects of pre-service teachers` views between the purposes of scientists` experiments and school science experiments. For example, the views about the scientist`s experiments were relatively broad concerning the nature of scientific experiments, but the school science experiments were just regarded as an educational tool for the science study. Based on the results from the study, some science educational implication were discussed.
