초록
학생들의 진화에 대한 대안개념(목적론, 용불용설 등)이 과학사에서 나타나는 설명의 발전 형태와 유사하다는 연구는 있었다. 하지만 과학사적으로 설명의 발달과정을 반영하여 부분점수를 주는 평가방 식은 활용되지 않았다. 이 연구의 목적은 창조론에서 자연선택까지 과학사적 발달과정을 반영하여 부분점수를 주는 방법을 제안하고 이방법이 타당한지에 대한 양적인 증거를 수집하는 것이다. 이 연구는 과학사에 근거하여 진화개념검사도구의 학생응답을 순위선다형점수로 변환하고 부분채점모형의 라쉬모델분석을 포함한 통계적 방법으로 새로운 평가방식이 타당한지 확인하였다. 또한 개념발달이 인간, 동물, 문항의 상황에 따라 다른지 확인하였다. Ha(2007)가 개발한 검사도구를 활용하여 1711명의 초, 중, 고등학생과 비전공, 전공생물 교사를 대상으로 생성한 자료를 통하여 분석하였다. 창조론, 목적, 의도, 용불용설, 자연선택에 0점에서 4점씩 부분점수로 제시한 평가 방법은 Cronbach alpha를 통한 내적일관성 신뢰도, 라쉬분석의 MNSQ값 등 통한 문항적합도를 확인한 결과 타당한 것으로 확인되었 다. 초등학생과 중학생들의 개념수준은 의도에서 용불용설 단계에, 고등학생부터 용불용설 이후의 단계로 개념발달이 이루어지고 있었 다. 진화설명의 발달 과정은 인간, 동물, 식물에 따라 차이가 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구는 과학사와 학생들의 개념발달이 유사하 다는 기존의 주장에 새로운 양적증거를 추가하고, 진화개념 평가를 위한 새로운 분석방법을 제안한다.
Abstract
Previous studies have investigated the similarity between the development of evolutionary explanations and students’ conceptual developments on evolution. However, the validity and reliability of the assessment method reflecting the similarity have not been quantitatively examined yet. In addition, no study has examined the conceptual progressions of evolution concept based on contexts although literature has addressed the contextual difference of evolutionary explanation in the history of science. This study examined the validity and reliability of history-of-science-based evolution concept assessment using ordered multiple choice (OMC) methods and Rasch analysis and explored conceptual progression by three contexts (e.g., human, animal, and plant). The evolution concept assessment developed by Ha (2007) was used to examine 1711 elementary, middle, and high school students, and pre- and in-service science teachers’ (biology majors and non-majors) evolution concepts. Internal consistency reliability and item response fitness of the OMC method that provide 0- to 4-point scores to creationism, teleology, intentionality, use/disuse, and natural selection respectively met the benchmark based on the Cronbach alpha and MNSQ indices of Rasch analysis. The level of elementary and middle school students’ evolution concepts were located between intentionality and use/disuse while the level of high school and non-biology science teachers’ evolution concepts were located between use/disuse and natural selection. The conceptual progressions of evolution concepts were differentiated according to three contexts. This study provided the quantitative evidence for the similarity between the development of evolutionary explanations and students’ conceptual developments on evolution and suggest new analysis methods (i.e., OMC) of evolution concept assessment.
