진화개념의 역사에 근거한 한국과 미국 대학생의 진화개념 수준 비교 = A Comparison between Korean and American College Students' Evolution Concepts based on the History of Evolutionary Ideas

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구는 진화 개념의 발달 단계가 전공과 국가에 따라서 유의미한 차이가 있는지 확인하기 위하여 진행되었다. 이 연구를 위하여 한국과 미국의 대학생의 자료를 생물 전공과 비생물 전공에 따라 구분하여 수집하였다. Ha(2007)이 개발한 도구를 사용하여 Ha(2016)의 분석방법에 근거하여 순위선다형으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 진화적 사고의 과학사적 발달 과정(창조, 목적, 의도, 용불용설, 자연선택)을 토대로 순위선다방식으로 분석하는 방법이 한국과 미국, 전공과 비전공 학생에게도 적합하게 적용될 수 있는 방법임이 확인되었다. 진화 개념의 발달 단계를 확인한 결과 우리나라 대학생들은 용불용설 수준, 미국의 대학생들은 목적론적 설명 수준에 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 전공과 국가에 따른 진화 개념의 발달 수준은 진화 설명소재와 교호작용효과가 있는지 확인한 결과 유의미한 교호작용효과가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 진화 개념의 발달 단계와 종교성은 유의미한 관련성이 있었다. 이 연구 결과들을 토대로 진화 개념의 발달 특성에 대해서 논의한다.

This study was conducted to identify whether there is a significant difference in the developmental stages of the evolution concept depending on the major and the country. For this study, college students (both biology major and non-biology major) in Korea and the United States answered evolution concept assessment developed by Ha (2007). The data were analyzed based on the method of developed by Ha (2016). As a result of this study, Cronbach alpha for internal consistency reliability and MNSQ indices for item response fitness of the ordered multiple choice method providing 0 to 4 point scores to creationism, teleology, intentionality, use/disuse, and natural selection respectively, satisfied the benchmark. The level of Korean college students' evolution concepts was located in use/disuse and the level of USA college students' evolution concepts was located in teleology. No interaction effect was found between the difference of conceptual progressions of evolution concept by major and country and evolution contexts (human, animal, and plant). There was a significant relationship between developmental stages of evolution concept and their religiosity. Based on the results of this study, we discuss developmental characteristics of evolutionary concepts.
