Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop the educational model using Systems Thinking(ST) and to examine its feasibility. For this purpose, first, analyzing the preceding research on the topic of science education using ST in Korea was conducted for making meaningful implications. Second, based on the derived implications, a science education model using ST is developed and applied to the school field. Third, the feasibility of education model is qualitatively analyzed. The study results are as follows. First, there are few educational models that using ST in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Integrated Science subjects. Second, to decrease the difficulties of ST learning, it is necessary to consider the developmental process and curriculum, introduce cognitive tools, and induce students to internalize themselves. Third, ST education is needed in the teacher education and training process. The researchers developed a science education model using ST by reflecting the above implications, and obtained the qualitative analysis result that it is effective in reducing the difficulties and in teacher education. In terms of the educational method that proceeds from individual activity to group activity, students’ cooperative problem-solving was led, and the student’s self-internalization stage provided an opportunity to feel the need for ST on their own. The study suggests ‘Hamlet Modeling’ as a way to promote interest in other science subjects and to teach ST together. Also, there is a need for ST achievement standards considering the developmental process and the educational process. Lastly, there is a need for research in which pedagogical theories such as the development of cognitive tools and ‘Responsive Teaching’ methods are actively grafted.
