대학생들의 귀납적 탐구에서 나타난 과학적 사고의 유형과 과정 = Scientific Thinking Types and Processes Generated in Inductive Inquiry by College Students

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to analyze scientific thinking types and processes generated in inductive inquiry by college students. Subjects were three college students. Three inductive tasks were developed: Caminalcules set 1 which is a task consisted of 6 imaginary animals, a potato task which is a task about the interaction between juiced potato and H_2O_2 and Caminalcules set 2. Subjects` performances were recorded on videotapes and analyzed. Subjects have shown 5 types of inductive thinking in the first task; recorded on videotapes commonness, discovering pattern, classifying, discovering hierarchy. the processes of inductive thinking shown by students are followed: observing-discovering commonness-classifying-discovering pattern-discovering hierarchy. the subtypes of inductive thinking on observing were investigated by the analysis of subjects` performance on the second task. In analysis of protocol, students` thinking types on classification have been searching criteria for classifying and selecting criteria for classifying. Subtypes of discovering hierarchy have been classifying groups and hierarchical ordering by students. Processes of classifying groups proceeded from searching criteria for classifying to selecting criteria for classifying.
