거주지역 생태탐사 프로그램에서 보이는 학습자와 자연 간의 상호작용 양상의 탐색

Drawing upon place based-education, this study explores in what ways students interact with nature, i.e.,how they experience nature and how they develop their relationship with nature, as they participate in a local ecosystem investigation program, called “getting to know my town’s ecology”. Engaging in diverse modes of interactions such as contacting with nature, nature’s perspective-taking, and connecting lifeworld with nature, students 1) developed their interests in nature as they contact nature through sensory and affective exploration, 2) perceived nature in connection with self as they empathize with nature cognitively and affectively, and 3) developed relationship with nature as they make sense of nature in connection with their lifeworld. Then based on the findings, we discuss multidimensional, collective, and narrative aspects of student-nature interaction and pedagogical implications for place- based education.
