본 논문에서는 초등학생을 위한 교육용 3D 골드버그 장치 애플리케이션을 개발하였다. 골드버그 장치는 창의력 증진을 위해 많이 제작한다. 하지만 골드버그 장치를 제작하기 위해서는 넓은 장소와 많은 도구가 필요해서 비용이 부담된다. 그래서 애플리케이션으로 개발하여 부담을 줄이고 실제로 골드버그 장치를 제작하는 것처럼 하기 위해 Unity 3D 엔진을 이용하여 3D와 물리법칙을 적용했다. 개발한 애플리케이션은 교육 프로그램에서 활용하여 초등학생의 창의성 증진, 물리법칙 이해, 공학적 설계능력 향상, 수학적 사고력 향상에 도움이 될 수 있다고 생각한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of a Goldberg device learning program on primary gifted students' creative personality. Based on the concept of creative personality derived from a literature review, a learning program has been developed and applied to 18 primary gifted class students and 20 invention club students. Creative personality consists of eight components: patience/persistence, confidence, humor, curiosity, imagination, openness, adventurous spirits, and independence. Creative personality tests were conducted before and after Goldberg device learning program lessons. The results of the tests indicate that (1) the Goldberg device learning program affected all eight components of creative personality positively; and (2) the invention club students showed a greater improvement in creative personality than the gifted class students. These findings suggest that Goldberg device learning programs can be effective to learn various scientific principles and improve students' creative personality.

In this study, by examining the characteristics of boys and girls which would appear in the performance process of Goldberg machine activities, it would be attempted to provide the implications for the development and teaching methods of gifted and talented programs. The object of study was organized into separate 2 groups of boys and girls by each, composed of a total of 16 people among 5th graders of the gifted class in elementary school, located in Gyeonggi province. The final assignment was to make the Goldberg machine in order to have the beads get to the target spot latest, in which the analysis was implemented qualitatively by participating in and observing the performance process of students. After dividing the Goldberg machine activities into the steps of planning, production, outcome, assessment and reflection, their analysis results are as follows: First, in the planning stage, the girls explained minutely the process of Goldberg machine in writing, whereas the boys represented it visually simply. Second, in the production stage, the boys showed the task commitment by trying to realize the machine as designed initially, but the girls showed their appearance to represent it simply and easily. Third, in the sophistication and efficiency of the machine production, the boys were superior to the girls, and in the creativity and diversity of the use of materials, the girls were more excellent. Fourth, in the assessment and reflection, the boys evaluated it individually, and the girls showed their appearance to evaluate it by reflecting others'thinking. Hence, when developing and teaching the gifted and talented programs, it would be required that the teaching and learning contents be recomposed by considering the gender, or that the various class strategies be sought. Further, the broader and more systematic studies, on the performance process of gifted students based on the gender, should be carried out.

The purpose of this study is to develop a Goldberg device-based software(SW) convergence Education tool. The 2015 revised curriculum emphasizes convergence with various subjects for effective SW education. In particular, physics is often used as a material for SW convergence education because it is closely related to computational thinking such as sequential movement, quantification of energy and simulation. In this study, we developed an educational program based on the Goldberg device that utilizes physical knowledge, concepts and manipulation. In order to verify the effectiveness of the program, the survey questions were developed through Delphi verification and a basic satisfaction survey was conducted based on this. As a result, the developed program can be effectively used as a program for SW convergence education.

The purpose of this study was to explore the problem solving strategy for Goldberg machine tasks of the gifted students in elementary science depending on the cognitive style(tendency to field-dependent and field independent). It was aimed to provide suggestions for the features and differences of the problem solving strategies of the gifted students in elementary science according to their cognitive styles. A total of 16 students, from the gifted class of P elementary school in Hwaseong were sampled for the research, cognitive styles Test was conducted to divide the students in teams, and the teams were classified according to cognitive style tendencies to five groups of field-dependent group, weak field-dependent group, mixed group, weak field-independent group and field-independent group. The Goldberg device task given was to make a Goldberg device within the angle framework of (Figure) 1, for a bead to start from the starting point and to reach the final point the last. The results are as follows: First, regarding the plan for producing the device, the stronger the field-independent tendency, they established more specific strategy-reflected plan; the stronger the field-dependent tendency, they established less specific strategy-reflected plan. Second, all cognitive style groups took a limited period of time into consideration, to fabricate the devices for the ball to arrive the last using a fine adjustment rather than many devices. Third, the field-independent group used a lot of logical reasoning; the field-dependent group used a lot of intuitive thinking. Fourth, the field independent group properly utilized strategies such as cooperation and role allocation; the field-dependent group tried to solve the task personally rather than cooperatively with poor role allocation. Fifth, the intermediate mixed group solved the problem better than the inclined groups such as field-dependent or field-independent groups.

This paper is researched the methods of design instruction which can improve students' creativeness through the subject of creative engineering design as a required subject for the accredited engineering program. After studying the preference and problems of design tasks for the students of engineering college, a new education development plan for design process was suggested, which uses the existing design tasks in which creativeness improvement class was focused through the completion of structures. This was through the completion of structures that 'operating the most simple operation with the most complex mechanical mechanism', which uses Rube-Goldberg, the crystal of mechanical mechanism in the union of multi-disciplinary convergence curriculum.
