ENACT 프로젝트에 참여한 예비 과학교사들의 과학기술자의 사회적 책임에 대한 인식 변화 탐색 = ENACT Project: Promoting Pre-Service Science Teachers’ Views on the Social Responsibility of Scientists and Engineers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to investigate the effects of the ENACT project on promoting pre-service science teachers (PSTs)’ views on the social responsibility of scientists and engineers. The ENACT project was designed to cultivate the social responsibility by integrating the theoretical framework of socioscientific issues (SSIs) education with problem-based inquiry approaches for the resolution of the issues. Thirty-two PSTs voluntarily participated in the project and completed the five stages over three months. Data was collected through a questionnaire to measure PSTs’ view of the social responsibility of scientists and engineers (VSRoSE) and focus-group interviews. Results indicate that the PSTs presented statistically significant changes in their views of the social responsibility after the ENACT project. The mean scores of the five sub-dimensions of VSRoSE significantly increased. The interviews also supported that the PSTs had opportunities to seriously consider the social responsibility of scientists and engineers through epistemological exploration of science and technology (Cycle I), and problem-solving and action-taking (Cycle II). In particular, they agreed more on such responsibilities as consideration of societal needs and demands, pursuit of the common good, civic engagement and services using their expertise, communications with the public regarding potential risks, and participation in policy decision-making related to science and technology advances. Educational implications for SSI education and teacher education were suggested.

ENACT 프로젝트는 과학기술과 관련한 사회쟁점(SSI)에 관심을갖고 쟁점해결에 참여해보는 경험을 통해 사회적 책임감을 함양하는 교육프로그램으로, 본 연구에서는 ENACT 프로젝트 수행을 통해 예비 과학교사들의 과학기술자의 사회적 책임에 대한 인식이 어떻게변화하는지 탐색해보았다. 32명의 예비 과학교사가 비교과활동으로약 3개월에 걸쳐 자발적으로 참여하였으며, ENACT 모형 즉, 쟁점발견, 쟁점탐색, 미래상황 예측, 과학⋅기술⋅공학적 쟁점해결, 사회적실천의 5단계에 따라 진행하였다. 예비 과학교사들의 과학기술자의 사회적 책임에 대한 인식 변화를 탐색하기 위해 혼합연구방법을 이용 하였으며, 이를 위해 과학기술자의 사회적 책임인식을 측정하는 검사도구(VSRoSE)와 조별 면담 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과, 예비 과학 교사들은 VSRoSE 전체 및 8개 하위요인 중 5개 요인에서 통계적으로 유의미한 향상을 나타내었다. 각 하위 요인별 예비 교사들의 면담을분석한 결과, 이들은 과학기술에 대한 인식론적 탐색을 강조하는 Cycle I과 쟁점해결과 실천을 강조하는 Cycle II를 수행하는 과정에서 과학기술자의 사회적 역할에 대해 고민할 수 있는 기회를 충분히 갖게 되었음을 확인하였다. 특히 프로젝트 참여 전 과학기술이 인간과 환경, 사회에 미치는 영향을 고려해야 한다는 것에 초점을 두었던예비 교사들의 인식은, 프로젝트 참여 후 사회적 필요와 요구를 반영 하고 지역사회 문제 해결을 위해 대중과 협력⋅소통하며 정책에 참여해야 하는 것까지 확장해서 이해하는 모습을 보였다. 위 결과를 기반으로 과학기술관련 사회쟁점 교육과 교사교육에 있어 본 연구의 시사 점을 제시하였다.
