탐구적 과학 글쓰기를 활용한 실험수업이 초등학생의 논리적 사고력과 과학 학습 동기에 미치는 효과

Abstract

This study aimed to find effect of the SWH(Science Writing Heuristic) experiment class effect on 5th grade student`s logical thinking ability, science learning motive. For this, it bases on strategy of SWH which developed by Keys et al., (1999). For this experiments, the 5th grade classroom of D-elementary school located in Jinhae-city was selected the experimental group (24 patients). And the other 5th grade classroom in the same school was selected to the comparative group (24 patients). The experimental group was conducted using the SWH(Science Writing Heuristic). Comparison group has been conducted lesson program in accordance with the general science class teacher guide. Was through a pre-test of science learning motivation and academic achievement level can be assumed in the same group. After completing the experimental treatment by conducting a post-mortem examination was statistically validated. The conclusion of these experiments are as below. First, there was no meaning effect to improvement of student’s logical thinking ability by SWH experimental group. During the experimental group, some of students understood the feature of SWH’s each phase and organized systematic science knowledge but most of other students have analyzed problematic situation and were hard to writing for each phase after design of experiment. Third, SWH experimental group was affect on science learning motive. according to post study result, experiment al group which applied SWH was affected on science deep strartegis (p ＜.05), science self-concept of ability (p ＜.05), science learning-focused goal orientation (p ＜.05) than comparative group. It is hard to improve science learning motive which contain affective characteristic in a short period but SWH was positive affect on science learning motive. The above findings, Elementary science class which applied SWH can be concluded to be effective in Science Learning Motive. The experiment class applied SWH needs experiment organization, experiments, writing assignment, debating each other at the same time thus it needs enough classes for students and develop class strategy with report format for student to consider their characteristic and level.
