‘자산어보(玆山魚譜)’를 활용한 초등 예비교사의 과학 관찰 묘사법 교육을 위한 프로그램 개발

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a marine life-focused scientific observation and description method program, reflecting the observational and descriptive characteristics of Jasan-eobo, and find out the applicability of this program in the actual education field for pre-service elementary school teachers. Jeong Yakjeon’s Jasan-eobo is still considered as the first encyclopedia of marine life in the history of Korea, and it describes marine life vividly and minutely in writing without drawings. Thus, this study attempted to develop an observation and description method based on this book and had the method subdivided into different items for viewpoint description, sequential description, objective description and subjective description. Through these items, learners can write for observation and description and even analyze the contents of relevant writings. This observation and description method program was developed on the basis of marine life that appears in marine life-related chapters from elementary school science textbooks, and this program consists of three phases, ‘Observation and Description Method Mini-workshop’, ‘Looking into Jasan-eobo and Analyzing according to the Observation and Description Method’ and ‘Observing and Expressing Marine Life in Writing and Evaluating Writings of Observation and Description’. After experiencing this program in person, some pre-service elementary school teachers were made to evaluate its effectiveness from viewpoints of both learners and teachers.
