7차 과학과 교육과정에 포함된 생물 I 생식과 발생 단원의 Jigsaw II 협동학습 모형 적용 효과

Abstract

Jigsaw II Cooperative Learning program for the contents of reproduction and development included in a high school textbook 'biology I' of the 7th National Science Curriculum was developed in this study. While this program was applied to the experimental group, the control group was taught by traditional instructional methods focused on teacher's lecture.To identify the effectiveness of the Jigsaw II Cooperative Learning program, the pretests and posttests for students’achievement in science, inquiry process skills and attitude toward science were administered to both groups. Also students’satisfaction regarding Jigsaw II Cooperative Learning program were investigated. Students’achievement in science, inquiry process skill and attitude toward science were not significantly different(p>0.05) between the control and the experiment group in terms of the pretest scores. However, the posttest scores of the experiment group showed higher than the control group (p<0.05). The students instructed by the Jigsaw II Cooperative Learning program had much interest in the classes and took the class positively, and preferred the Jigaw II Cooperative Learning program.Therefore, the Jigsaw II Cooperative Learning program made a positive effect on students’achievement in science, inquiry process skill and attitude toward science and the students’satisfaction to the classes.
