초등 예비교사의 아동의 과학 개념 조사 = Pre-service Elementary Teachers` Exploration of Children`s Science Ideas

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, pre-service elementary teachers (n=68) participated in an inquiry of exploring children`s science ideas as group work. After conducting interviews with children, the pre-service teachers analyzed their science ideas on specific concept and propose a teaching plan based on their findings. This paper aimed to find the positive learning experiences of the pre-service teachers by looking into their inquiry process. Questionnaire, researcher`s journal, classroom videos and final reports were collected and analyzed for this multiple case study. Four representative groups were chosen and interviewed after submitting their final reports for in-depth understanding of their inquiry process. The positive learning experiences found in the process of their inquiry into children`s science ideas were as follows: (1) exploring children`s ideas have brought the opportunity for enhancing pre-service teachers` science content knowledge. (2) the pre-service teachers developed their ability in creating questions that probe into children`s understanding. (3) the pre-service teachers recognized that children have various incomplete and unstable science ideas. (4) the pre-service teachers could suggest teaching strategy based on their findings.
