고등학생들의 창의력 및 과학적 사고력을 높이기 위한 식물 색소 관련 실험 모듈의 개발

Abstract

This study is to develop an experimental module regarding plant pigments in order to enhance students' creativity and scientific thinking. It included three activities based on learning cycle model in which students may be invited to the process thinking scientifically; themes were 'Factors influencing plant pigmentation', 'Separation of photosynthetic pigments', and 'Change of plant pigmentation by light'. The module was consisted of students' worksheet and teachers' guide. It has some features that students themselves can implement a series of activities of making hypothesis and designing an experiment to solve some questions. They were considered hypothetical­deductive experimental procedures. Twenty biology teachers had been invited at a workshop specially held to identify whether it was appropriate as reflecting the purpose of increasing students' creativity and scientific thinking ability. The results suggested that it should be of valuable instructional material which might enhance students' creativity and scientific thinking in the Korean high school biology classes.
