초록

과학 교과서는 과학 교육에 있어서 아주 중요한 역할을 하여 왔다. 교과서는 학생들이 학문적 경험을 하게끔 주도하며 학교 교육을 대표하는 수단이라고 할 수 있다(Valverde, Bianchi, Wolfe, Schmidt, & Houang, 2002). 그러나 과학 교육에서 교과서의 중요한 역할에도 불구하고, 국내외에서 그 연구가 미비하였다(Good, 1993). 이 연구의 첫번째 과제로써 과학 교과서 연구 현황을 살펴보기 위해 지난 30여년간 미국에서 이루어진 초등 교과서와 관련된 연구들을 분석 및 정리하였다. 한편 과학의 본성에 대한 이해는 지난 반세기 동안 과학 교육에서 하나의 중요한 목표가 되어 왔으며, 미국의 여러 국가적 차원의 지침서에서는 그 중요성을 강조하였다 (NRC, 1996; AAAS, 1990, 1993). 그럼에도 불구하고 과학 교과서 연구에서 과학의 본성에 관련한 선행 연구가 거의 없다는 것을 알고, 본 연구의 두번째 과제로써 현재 미국 초등 교과서에 나타난 과학의 본성에 대한 연구를 4가지 주제에 근거하여 분석하였다. 과학의 본성에 대한 4가지 주제는 (a)지식 체계로서의 과학, (b) 탐구 방법으로의 과학, (c) 생각의 방법으로의 과학, 그리고 (d) 과학과 기술, 그리고 사회와 연관된 관계 (Chiappetta, Fillman, & Sethna, 2004)로서, 본 연구에서는 미국 초등 과학 교과서에 나타난 이 4가지 주제를 학년별 및 출판사별로 4가지 영역의 포함 정도를 퍼센트로 산출하였다. 또한 도입 단원 전체를 분석하였으므로, 단원 전반적 내용에 내포된 과학의 본성에 대한 측면을 연구자의 직관과 전문성에 근거하여 서술적인 방식으로 토의하였다.
