초록

본 연구는 과학이슈(유기동물, 미세먼지, 재활용)를 중심으로 학교와 지역사회를 연계하는 과학교육 프로그램(SSI-COMM) 운영을 담당한 교사, 외부 강사, 지역 전문가들의 SSI-COMM의 운영 경험을 통해 실천과 참여를 강조한 지역사회연계 프로그램의 교육적 함의를 탐색해보고자 하였다. 각각의 프로그램은 한 학기 동안 16차시로 운영이 되었으며 학생들의 과학이슈에 대한 흥미와 지역사회로의 참여를 향상시키기 위해서 학교와 학교 밖 활동으로 구성되었다. 본 연구를 위해 4명의 학교 교사, 4명의 외부 강사, 6명의 지역 전문가와 인터뷰를 진행하였으며, 수업 관찰 일지 등도 추가적으로 수집되었다. 연구 결과, SSI-COMM 운영에 참여한 운영자들은 프로그램 운영 과정에서 본 프로그램의 적용이 가져올 수 있는 교육적 함의에 대해 긍정적으로 인식했을 뿐만 아니라, 지역사회 속 과학이슈에 대해 스스로의 관심이 높아지고, 앞으로도 지속적으로 운영해보고자 하는 의지를 나타냈다. 교사의 경우에는 본 프로그램을 통해 현재 학교교 육이 학생들의 잠재된 역량이 표출되기에 제한이 있음을 인지하였으 며, 학생들이 직접 학교 밖 관련 기관을 직접 방문하고 지역 전문가와 만나 소통해보는 경험을 통해 학교 지식과 실천 사이의 간격을 줄일수 있다는 가능성을 인지하였다. 학교 밖 교육을 담당했던 외부 강사는 자유로운 학교 밖 활동이 학교 수업에서 소외되었던 학생들에게 뿌듯함과 자신감 그리고 성취감을 경험할 수 있는 기회를 제공함을 확인하였다. 본 프로그램 운영에 참여한 지역 전문가들 역시 본인의 직업과 관련된 분야에서 논의되는 과학이슈에 대해 학생들과 소통하는 경험을 통해 지역사회에 대한 소속감과 교육 주체로서의 역할에 대해 고민해볼 수 있었다. SSI-COMM은 지역사회연계 프로그램 활성화를 위해서는 앞으로 지속적으로 학교와 지역사회 구성원들 간의 친밀한 네트워크 체계를 구축할 필요가 있음을 시사하였다.

Abstract

The purposes of the study are to investigate the experiences of major stakeholders (i.e. science teachers, program instructors, local experts, etc.) who participated in implementing Community-Based Socioscientific Issues Programs (SSI-COMM) and to provide educational implications for further implementation. SSI-COMM dealt with three issues (i.e. abandoned pets, fine dust, and recycling) that students often encountered in their local community. Each program, lasting over 16 class periods in a free semester, included in-school and out-of-school activities in order to promote their interest and participation in community. Four teachers, four program instructors, and six local experts joined the interviews to explain their experience of participating in the programs. As a result, school teachers, program instructors, and local experts positively appreciated their experiences of the program implementation and perceived educational potentials of SSI-COMM. All the stakeholders mentioned that they became more interested in local socioscientific issues and strongly perceived the need for the implementation of such programs linked to their own community. The science teachers appreciated the opportunities to identify students’ potentials through SSI-COMM and believed that SSI-COMM would contribute to reducing the gap between learning and practice. The program instructors, observed that out-of-school activities contributed to enhancing students’ self-confidence and fulfillment in learning. Finally, the local experts obtained a sense of belonging to their community and were very satisfied with their contribution. The SSI-COMM programs are expected to be one of the educational models that will help to encourage the participation of students and stakeholders in facilitating educational activities in relation to the community.
