Abstract
이 연구의 목적은 제7차 교육과정에 의한 화학I 교과의 목표와 성격에 대한 화학 교사들의 인식을 조사하고, 학습 지도 시 화학 교사들의 학습 내용 선택도와 학습 지도 방식에 대해 조사하여, 화학I 교과가 교육 현장에서 어떻게 운영되고 있는지 알아보고자 한 것이다. 연구를 위하여 40개 고등학교 화학 교사 44명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 화학 교사들은 제7차 교육과정의 화학I 교과의 목표가 화학적 소양을 갖춘 민주 시민의 양성이라고 인식하고 있었으며, 화학I 교과의 목표에 적합한 수업 방식은 실험·실습 수업 혹은 조사 및 토의 수업과 같은 탐구 중심의 수업 방식이라고 인식하고 있었다. 그러나 실제 수업에서는 개념 중심의 수업이 이루어지고 있었으며, 화학 교사에 따라 학습 내용 선택도에 차이가 많았다. 그리고 화학 교사들은 화학I 교과가 화학 학습에 흥미와 호기심을 갖게 하는데 적합하다고 생각하지만 화학 개념을 체계적으로 이해시키기엔 부적당하기 때문에, 화학I 교과의 학습 내용을 개선할 필요가 있다고 생각하고 있었다. 제7차 교육과정에 의한 화학I 교과의 목표에서 탐구 학습을 강조하고 있으므로 탐구 중심의 수업이 이루어질 수 있도록 충분한 교사 연수와 교수-학습 자료의 개발이 필요하며, 교육과정 개정 시에 화학 교사들의 경험이 충분히 반영되어야 한다고 생각된다. The purpose of this study was to find out chemistry teachers' perceptions on the aims and characteristics of the chemistry I course from the 7th national curriculum by means of investigating how frequently particular learning contents were selected and what the teachers' teaching styles were in order to find out how effectively teachers were working with the 7th national curriculum in teaching. For this study, data was collected by means of questionnaires, which was answered by 44 chemistry teachers in 40 different high schools. Results from this study are as follows: As for the perception on the aim and characteristics of chemistry I course, many chemistry teachers have already perceived that the aim of the course was to promote democratic citizens with the knowledge of chemistry. And the most appropriate way of teaching chemistry I course was inquiry-centered teaching such as experiment-practice and inquiry-discussion. However, these perceptions were not reflected when they actually taught students in the classroom. Instead, most of the class was concepts learning and there were a lot of differences in selecting learning contents among chemistry teachers. Furthermore, although chemistry I course was considered a good subject to make students have interest and curiosity in chemistry, it was not appropriate to make students understand the concepts of chemistry. Therefore, learning contents in chemistry I course need to improve. In conclusion, as the goal of 7th national curriculum of chemistry I course was to emphasize inquiry teaching, inquiry based teaching should be practiced in the class. Moreover, sufficient teacher training should be accompanied and alternative additional teaching contents should be developed. Finally teachers' experiences should be reflected in the national curriculum when it is revised.
