Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of engineering design-based ocean cleanup classes on STEAM attitudes and creative engineering problem-solving dispositions. Furthermore, during this process, we tried to determine interesting points that students encountered in engineering design-based classes. For this study, a science class with six lessons based on engineering design was developed and reviewed by a professor who majored in engineering design, along with five engineering design experts with a master's degree or higher. The subject of the class was selected as the design and implementation of scientific and engineering measures to reduce marine pollution based on the method implemented in an actual Ocean Clean-up Project. The engineering design process utilized the engineering design model presented by NGSS (2013), and was configured to experience redesign through the optimization process. To verify effectiveness, the STEAM attitude questionnaire developed by Park et al. (2019) and the creative engineering problemsolving propensity test tool developed by Kang and Nam (2016) were used. A pre and post t-test was used for statistical analysis for the effectiveness test. In addition, the contents of interesting points experienced by the learners were transcribed after receiving descriptive responses, and were analyzed and visualized through degree centrality analysis. Results confirmed that engineering design in science classes had a positive effect on both STEAM attitude and creative engineering problem-solving disposition (p< .05). In addition, as a result of unstructured data analysis, science and engineering knowledge, engineering experience, and cooperation and collaboration appeared as factors in which learners were interested in learning, confirming that engineering experience was the main factor.

본 연구의 목적은 공학설계 기반 오션 클린업 수업이 STEAM 태도와 창의공학적 문제해결성향에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 또한 이 과정에서 학생들이 공학설계 기반 수업에서 접하는 흥미로운 점을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 공학설계를 전공한 교수 1명과 석사 이상의 공학설계 전문가 5명이 함께 공학설계를 기반으로 한 6차시의 과학수업을 개발하여 검토하였다. 수업의 주제는 실제 오션 클린업 프로젝트에서 구현된 방법을 기반으로 해양 오염을 줄이기 위한 과학 및 공학적 해결과정의 설계 및 구현으로 선정되었다. 공학설계 과정은 NGSS(2013)에서 제시한 공학 설계 모형을 활용하였으며, 최적화 과정을 통해 재설계를 경험할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 효과를 검증하기 위해 Park et al.(2019)이 개발한 STEAM 태도 설문지 및 Kang and Nam(2016)이 개발한 창의공학적 문제해결성향 검사 도구를 사용하였다. 효과성 검정을 위한 통계분석을 위해 사전 및 사후 t-검정을 사용하였다. 또한, 학습자가 경험한 흥미로운 점의 내용은 기술적인 응답을 받아 전사하고, 중심도 분석을 통해 분석 및 시각화하였다. 결과는 과학 수업에서 공학설계 기반 오션 클린업 수업이 STEAM 태도와 창의공학적 문제해결성향 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다 (p< .05). 또한, 비정형 데이터 분석 결과, 학습자가 학습에 관심을 갖는 요인으로 이공계 지식, 공학적 경험, 협동과 협업이 나타나 공학적 경험이 중심 요인임을 확인하였다.
