우유 방울의 왕관현상을 주제로 한 공동탐구토론대회를 통한 열린 학습 모형 연구

Abstract

The '98 Scientific Inquiry and Discussion Contest organized by the Department of Physics Education has been performed for the subject analysing the coronet formation of milk drop. This study examined the feasibility to construct an outdoor learning model in the secondary or primary school, on the basis of the results of the '98 Scientific Inquiry and Discussion Contest. In this study, the hypotheses suggested by students who performed the inquiry contest were introduced. These explained how students approach the proposed problem. As outdoor learning models for the coronet formation by milk drop, the study suggested three types, such as 1) observation of the phenomena occurring in a very short time, 2) analysis of the phenomena by controlling external parameters, 3) understanding of the phenomena through model construction. These three types of inquiring approach may not apply to all levels of students equally. Thus this study suggest that teachers select an appropriate type of approach for their students.
