7차 교육과정 중학교 과학 생물영역의 개념도 활용수업 효과－호흡과 배설 단원 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of instruction using concept map on the middle school science in the 7th curriculum. The control group was instructed by traditional teaching methods. The experimental groups I and II were instructed by the concept mapping strategy with Group I having been instructed individually while Group II was divided by heterogeneous achievement level. To analyze the influence of the concept map, pretest and posttest for science achievement, inquiry process skill and science-related attitude were applied to all three groups. Also the response of students regarding concept mapping strategies was investigated. According to the analysis of these tests, in the pretest the differences of science achievement, inquiry process skill, science-related attitude among three groups were not significant(p>.05). In the posttests on science achievement, inquiry process skill and science-related attitude, the scores of the experimental Groups I and II were higher than those of the control group(p<.05).In the concept mapping strategy, the students of GroupⅡ were more efficient than those of Group Ⅰ. Most students of the groups who were instructed by the concept mapping strategy exhibited positive attitude towards the concept mapping strategy.Therefore, concept mapping strategies made a positive effect on students' science achievement, inquiry process skill and science-related attitude.
