본 연구에서는 2009 개정 과학과교육과정에따른중학교 과학교과서의 과학사에 과학의 본성 요소가얼마나반영되어있는지분석하였다. 2009개정중학교과학교과서17종중가장많이사용 되는5종을대상으로하였으며,최윤희외(2010)와김지혜외(2013)가개발한과학의본성분석틀 을수정 보완하여과학자,과학지식,과학적방법,과학-기술-사회의관계의요소로분석하였다. 연구 결과, 중학교 과학교과서의 과학사에는 평균 223.6개의 과학의 본성 요소가 반영되어 있었 다.이중‘과학자’요소가평균75.2개로가장많았으며, ‘과학-기술-사회의관계’요소가평균18.6 개로가장적었다. 7차에비해과학의본성요소가증가하였으나현대인식론적입장과관련된과 학의 본성 요소 비율은여전히 낮게 나타났다. 영역별로는 ‘지구’ 영역의 과학사에서 평균 68개로 가장많았으며, ‘에너지’영역은평균22.4개로가장적게나타났다.영역별로과학의본성빈도차 이가나는것은특정단원의과학사에과학의본성요소가몰려있기때문이다.과학의본성측면에 서현재의과학교과서에반영된과학사의내용을추가및보완해야할필요가있다고판단된다.교 과서개발시과학사에다양한과학의본성요소를고르게반영하고현대인식론적입장과관련된 과학의본성요소내용을보강한다면,학생들이과학의본성에대한다각적인접근과이해를통해 과학적소양을함양할수있을것으로생각된다.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the nature of science in the history of science section for middle school science textbooks developed based on the 2009 Revised Science National Curriculum. For this analysis, five of the most common textbooks out of 17 science textbooks published by the 2009 Revised Science Education for middle school students were selected and analyzed in terms of various factors such as scientist, scientific knowledge, scientific method and science-technology-society related subjects. The research proceeded with reformed and complemented ‘framework for nature of science’, which was originally developed by Choi Yun-hee el.(2010) and Kim Ji-hye el.(2013). The results of this study are as follows; the nature of science was reflected 223.6 times on average in the history section of middle school science textbooks. ‘Scientist’ factor was most commonly indicated, with an average of 75.2 times, and ‘Science-technology-society’ factor shown least commonly, with an average of 18.6 times. Factors of the nature of science increased compared to the 7th Science Curriculum but the rate of the nature of science which related to contemporary-epistemological perspective is still in low level. The nature of science in the history section showed a tendency to be focused on the earth, with an average of 68 times and less in the category of energy, with an average of only 22.4, due to its concentration in specific chapters. In terms of the nature of science, existing middle school science textbooks should be added or revised with more content related to the history of science, in order to improve student’s knowledge of science through the comprehensive approach and the understanding of the nature of science.
