학습 양식이 다른 중학생들의 판구조론에 관한 정신모형 분석 = An Analysis of the Mental Models of Middle School Students with Different Learning Style on Plate Tectonics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to identify middle school students` mental models on plate tectonics and to compare the mental models of verbal-learning-style students with those of visual-learning-style students. 94 student participants in 9th grade were requested to draw and explain three topics; generation of magma, the formation of the mountain range and the interior of the Earth. The criterions for analyzing the mental models are derived from the data of the drawing task. The research results were as follows: The mental models on the generation of magma were classified as ``unstable model,`` ``partial casual model,`` ``causal model,`` and ``conceptual model.`` On the other hand, the mental models on the interior of the Earth were classified as ``static unstable model,`` ``dynamic unstable model,`` and ``conceptual model.`` Students holding ``unstable model`` were unable to relate the plate collision and the magma generation. They showed a variety of alternative conceptions of study areas, such as ``magma is generated from the core`` and ``the mountain is formed by rising of the plates themselves.`` Also, visual-learning-style students showed higher proportion of conceptual models and lower proportion of unstable mental models than verbal-learning-style students on three topics. The findings revealed that the students tend to have different concepts on the plate tectonics depending on their learning style.
