제7차 선택중심 고등학교 과학과 교육과정의 운영 실태와 과학교사 및 학생들의 인식 조사 = A Survey of the Actual Conditions of Operation and Perceptions of Science Teachers and Students Regarding the 7th Elective-Centered Curriculum of High School Science Subjects

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구는 제7차 선택중심 고등학교 과학과 교육과정에 대한 학교 현장의 운영 실태를 파악하고, 과 학교사와 학생들의 인식을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 연구를 위하여 제7차 선택중심 교육과정을 경험한 127명의 고등학교 과학교사와 고등학교 3학년 학생 763명을 연구 대상으로 선정하여, 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결 과, 과학과 선택과목의 제시 방법은 인문과정의 경우 택일방식과 집단선택 방식이 많았고, 자연과정의 경우 택 일방식과 자유선택 방식이 많았다. 즉, 제한된 범위 내에서 선택권을 주는 경우가 많았다. 선택중심 교육과정 에 대한 과학교사의 인식을 조사한 결과, 부정적인 의견이 많았고, 특히 지구과학 교사가 가장 부정적인 의견 을 보이고 있었다. 그리고 학생의 교과 선택권에 대해서 생물교사와 화학교사는 찬성하는 의견이 많았으나, 물 리교사와 지구과학교사는 반대하는 의견이 더 많았다. 학생들이 올바르게 선택과목을 선택하기 위해서는 선택 과목별로 불이익이 없도록 입시 제도를 보완해야 한다는 의견과 체계적이고 현장성 있는 진로교육이 필요하 다는 의견이 많았다. 선택중심 교육과정에 대해 고등학교 3학년 학생들의 인식을 조사한 결과, 그다지 만족하 지 못하고 있는 경향을 보였는데, 그 이유로는 선택권이 제한적이라는 의견과 선택과목과 진로에 대한 홍보와 교육이 부족하다는 의견이 많았다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 학교 현장에서는 학생들의 선택과 과학교사 수급을 원활히 조정하고자 노력하고 있으나 모든 요구를 수용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 기초과학이 소외되거나 과 학과목에 대한 학력저하가 없도록 함과 동시에 학교 현장의 실정을 감안하여 학생의 요구와 과학교사 수급 문 제를 원활히 해결할 수 있는 대책과 보완이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the actual conditions of operation in school and investigate the perceptions of science teachers and students regarding the 7th elective-centered curriculum of high school science subjects. For this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted for the selected subjects including 127 high school science teachers and 763 high school students in their third year who had experienced the 7th elective-centered curriculum. As a result of the study, concerning the way to present the elective subjects of science, many cases were the alternative way and the group-elective way in humanity courses while natural science courses had the alternative way and the free-elective way in most cases. In other words, in many cases, the right of elective was given within a limited range. The result of the investigation on science teachers' perceptions on the elective-centered curriculum was that negative views dominated as a whole. Especially, earth science teachers showed the most negative attitudes. The number of biology and chemistry teachers who supported students' right to opt subjects were lower than that of physics teachers and earth science teachers who were against it. To help students make a right choice, many viewed that the system of the college Scholastic Ability Test should be complemented in order to prevent any disadvantage to each elective subject or that it was necessary to have systematic and realistic career education. As the result of investigating the perception of high school students in their third year regarding the elective-centered curriculum, they were usually not very satisfied with it. As the reason for it, many said the selection right was limited. Many others also expressed that there were lack of public relations and education on subjects and careers. Based on these results, limits still exist in accepting all demands although there are a lot of efforts made to smoothly adjust supply and demand of science teachers as well as students' electives in the field of school. It is considered necessary to come up with counterplan and complements to prevent basic science from being neglected or lower academic achievement in the subject of science from happening, and at the same time to harmoniously deal with supply and demand of science teachers as well as the issues of students' demands given the actual conditions of school.
