과학 실험을 왜 할까?: 초등과학 영재아들이 생각하는 과학 실험의 목적 = Why do We do Science Experiments?: Scientifically Gifted Children`s Views about the Purpose of Science Experiments

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The object of this study is to investigate the views of scientifically gifted children about the purpose of scientists` experiments and school science experiments. The children`s views were examined using a open-ended questionnaire survey. And then the responses from the children were analyzed with categorization. The results from the study are as follows: First, the children`s views about the purpose of scientists` experiments and school science experiments were classified to 2 top-level, 5 mid-level and 21 sub-level categories. Second, it was found that the children considered internal values of doing experiments are more worthy than the social and personal usefulness of the experiments. Third, the gifted children mentioned most frequently that the purposes of the scientist experiment is `to get the evidences for their theory and argument which is unusual in the regular children`s views. Also the discovery of new phenomena and materials, and the generation of new theories and ideas were mentioned as purposes of the scientist experiments. Fourth, the students frequently stated that school science experiments support effective learning of science subject enhancing subject interests and better explanation/understanding. Fifth, relatively many students thought that the purposes of school science experiments are different with those of scientist experiments. Based on the results from the study, some educational suggestions are discussed.
