This study proposes a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) program for career exploration of middle school students. The proposed program utilizes VR (Virtual Reality) for new digital technology and webtoon as a popular cultural element. It enables the students to investigate promising fields and experience them virtually for themselves. We design the program based on the 2015 revised curriculum, which enhances the learning effects with existing subjects. In particular, the program provides a hybrid education to combine contact and untact classes considering the COVID-19 situation. The educational goal of the proposed program is to improve creativity and convergence capability. Specifically, it aims to prepare an educational foundation that integrates new digital technologies into education and applies the programs to school education fields. To prove the effectiveness of the developed program, we applied the program to the second graders of A middle school located in Seoul. We expect that the proposed program helps students learn how to utilize new digital technologies and explore future career paths.

Interest in AI and SW education is growing as digital literacy is emphasized in the revised elementary school curriculum for 2022. There are numerous restrictions on how pupils can enhance their digital literacy because there are only 34 class hours available for information education in elementary schools. Therefore, other subjects and information education must be blended in order to ensure class hours for AI and SW instruction. In this study, we investigated the impact of S-PUMA reading instruction on the literary imagination and computational thinking of elementary school pupils. To conduct this study, two classes of sixth graders in an elementary school were chosen and split into an experimental group and a control group. Over the course of five sessions, only the experimental group received reading instruction using the S-PUMA teaching approach. It was discovered that reading instruction with the S-PUMA teaching methodology enhanced literary imagination and computational thinking. Further study is required to identify whether the improvement in creative imagination, a component of literary imagination, is a result of the S-PUMA teaching approach or a natural result of the subject matter of the lesson.
