초록

생물교사는 자신의 글과 말을 활용하여 지식을 논리적인 과학적 설명의 형태로 변환하여 학생들을 지도한다. 그러므로 생물 예비교사들이 과학적 설명을 구성하는 능력을 확인할 수 있는 개방형 검사가 요구될 것이다. 하지만 채점자간 일치도, 늦은 피드백과 같은 개방형 검사가 가진 문제로 선택형 검사가 대체될 수 있을 것이다. 이 연구는 생물 예비교사들의 과학적 진화 설명 구성 능력을 확인함과 동시에 선택형 진화 개념 검사가 개방형 검사 결과를 어느 정도 예측하는지 두 가지를 조사하였다. 생물 예비교사 124명이 참여하였으며 20문항의 진화 개념 선택형 검사도구와 3문항의 실제 사례를 활용한 개방형 검사 문항을 모든 참여자에게 투입하였다. 연구 결과 생물 예비교사는 선택형 검사 도구에 더 높은 능력을 보였으며 최상위(0 ~ 25%)의 참여자를 제외하고 선택형 검사도구는 개방형 검사 도구 검사 결과를 예측하지 못하였다. 진화 설명의 일관성, 오개념이 포함되지 않은 순수성, 과학적 설명의 양을 측정한 결과, 선택형 검사 결과는 최상위 집단을 제외하고 다른 집단을 구분하지 못하였다. 또한 이 결과들은 생물 교사들이 과학적 설명의 구성 능력이 지식의 양에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 일부 예비교사들은 오개념과 과학적 개념을 혼합하는 등의 세련되지 못한 과학적 설명을 가지고 있었다. 이 결과는 생물 예비교사들의 개념 평가는 선택형보다 개방형이 더 많은 정보를 제공할 수 있음을 보여주며, 생물 예비교사들을 위한 교사양성 프로그램은 과학적 설명 능력의 신장에 더욱 더 초점을 맞출 것을 제언한다.

Abstract

Teachers use explanations to communicate important scientific ideas to students. Consequently, all biology teachers should be evaluated to determine how effective they are at constructing and communicating biological explanations. Open response questions are required to detect pre-service biology teachers' abilities to communicate robust and accurate scientific explanations. Nevertheless, multiple-choice questions are typically preferred by educators because of the common drawbacks of using open-response instruments, such as scoring time, inter-rater scoring disagreements, and delayed feedback to test takers. This study aims to measure pre-service biology teachers' competence in building scientific explanations and to investigate how accurately multiple-choice questions predict the results of open-response questions. One hundred twenty four pre-service biology teachers participated in the study and were administered 20 multiple-choice items and three open-response items designed to measure the accuracy and quality of their explanations of evolutionary change. The results demonstrated that pre-service teachers displayed higher competence when tested with multiple choice items than when tested with open response items. Moreover, scores derived from multiple-choice items poorly predicted the scores derived from open-response items. Multiple-choice items were also found to be poor measures of the consistency, purity and abundance of conceptual elements in teachers' evolutionary explanations. Additionally, many teachers held mixed-models composed of both scientific and naïve ideas, which were difficult to detect using multiple-choice formats. Overall, the study indicates that multiple-choice formats are poorly suited to measuring several aspects of biology teachers' knowledge of evolution, including their ability to generate scientific explanations. This study suggests that open-response items should be used in teacher education programs to assess pre-service teachers' explanatory competency prior to being permitted to teach science to children.
