초록
본 연구는 교육 경험과 종교성이 진화 이론에 대한 수용, 이해, 관심에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 대학에서 생물학 과목을 수강하거나 수능에서 생명과학을 응시한 학생들은 진화 이론에 대한 수용과 이해 수준이 유의미하게 높았다. 반면, 종교성이 높은 학생들은 진화 이론의 수용과 이해에 부정적인 경향을 보였으나, 진화에 대한 관심은 유지되었다. 이는 종교적 신념과 과학적 이해 사이의 관계가 단순하지 않으며, 상호작용이 복잡하다는 것을 보여준다. 이러한 결과는 생물인류학을 포함한 진화 이론 기반 교육의 확대가 필요함을 시사한다. 특히, 다양한 학문적 배경과 종교적 신념을 가진 학생들에게 균등한 교육 기회를 제공함으로써, 과학적 사실과 이론에 대한 폭넓은 접근을 가능하게 하고, 과학적 문해력을 증진시킬 수 있을 것이다.
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of educational experiences and religiosity on the acceptance, understanding, and interest in evolutionary theory. The findings reveal that students who have taken university-level biology courses or studied life sciences for the national college entrance examination demonstrate significantly higher levels of acceptance and understanding of evolutionary theory. These results underscore the critical role of educational exposure in enhancing scientific comprehension. In contrast, high levels of religiosity were negatively associated with both acceptance and understanding of evolutionary theory. However, interest in evolution among highly religious students remained unaffected, indicating that while religiosity may pose challenges to scientific acceptance, it does not diminish curiosity about evolutionary topics. The results suggest that science education on evolutionary theory, including biological anthropology, should be expanded to accommodate students from various academic and cultural backgrounds. Such an approach is essential to addressing potential disparities arising from differing educational and religious contexts. Broadening the scope of evolutionary education can provide equitable access to scientific knowledge and foster scientific literacy, ensuring that students, regardless of their academic or religious affiliations, are equipped with a balanced understanding of evolutionary principles.
