일반계 고등학생의 성별 과학 선호도와 인과 요인 분석 = An Analysis of High School Students` Preference for Science and Its Causal Factors in terms of Gender Difference

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students` preference for science(PS) and its causal factors in terms of gender difference, and to suggest the way to improve students` preference for science. A questionnaire to evaluate the PS of high school students and its causal factors was specially designed by researchers. It was administered to 429 boys and 449 girls in eight high schools. The average score of the PS was 3.16 of 5.00 which was not high, but the PS scores of students who had wanted to be engaged in jobs related to science or medical field, were higher than the students who would be in other fields. There was no statistically significant difference between the boys` PS scores and girls`, but the average scores of causal factors were higher in boys than in girls. Path analysis using a structural equation model was indicated that the pathways showing how causal factors made effects on each category of the boys` PS were simpler than those of girls. Particularly, while educational factors made indirect effects on three categories of the boys` PS, they did direct effects as well as indirect effect on the girls` PS. This means that the girls` PS is possible to be improved by applying the educational programs specially developed for girls.
