A Proposal for Improvement of Korean Science Inquiry Activities through an Analysis of Practicals of the IB DP Physics; IB DP 물리학의 탐구 활동 운영 및 평가 분석을 통한 과학 탐구 활동의 개선방안 제언

초록

This study analyzed the operation of inquiry activities and internal assessment in the IB DP Physics course and examined the implications for science education in Korea. I found that IB DP(International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) requires students to conduct quantitative experiments by giving specific guidelines on the number of class periods, types of inquiry activities, and evaluation in the Physics guide, and that it is operated as an open inquiry that only outlines the topic and approach to inquiry, and requires quantitative analysis and data processing of the results of the experiments. I also found that IB DP requires students to conduct self-directed inquiry activities through internal assessment to finally evaluate their inquiry competence. Through this study, it was suggested that self-directed inquiry activities and approaches for quantitative interpretation of data should be discussed in terms of the operation of inquiry activities, and that the development of inquiry activity evaluation criteria and the need for teacher-training program in inquiry activity evaluation are needed in terms of the evaluation of inquiry activities. © 2024 Korean Physical Society.
