The purpose of this paper is to design the curriculum by considering the experimental design and analysis for enhancing an engineer's creative problem-solving ability. This ability is one of the important objectives in modern engineering education. To achieve this purpose, first, it is suggested that the experimental design and analysis, a specific area of engineering education, is highly relevant to the creative problem-solving ability, one of the basic engineering competencies and of the final goals in engineering education. And also, the curriculum already introduced the experimental design and analysis in departments of mechanical engineering of universities are surveyed and reviewed. 59 papers are also analyzed to know how engineers applicate the knowledge of the experimental design and analysis to their activities. Finally, the module of engineering education curriculum introduced the experimental design and analysis to enhance effectively the engineer's creative problem-solving ability is suggested.

This study had a purpose to examine that problem solving process through the product design and conceptual design in engineering design education affected the improvement of students' self-directed learning ability. For this, we conducted in-depth interview with students that taken the introductory engineering design course. The main findings were as follows. First, the importance of diagnosing the learning needs and defining the problem was realized. Second, the importance of organizing lesson plans for problem solving and performing it out systematically was acknowledged. Third, they knew that continuous modification and supplements were needed, and also reviews and checks were needed after the evaluation process. Based on these results, the problem solving process of engineering design education affected a positive effect to students' self-directed learning.

The purpose of the present study was to verify the structural relationship among metacognition, interactions, problem solving ability and achievement in gifted students through the 3P model. In this study, factors affecting the performance of gifted education are based on 3P(presage, precess. product) theory(Biggs, 2003). Participants attended a 174 gifted student in institutes for the gifted education in the city office of education in Korea. A hypothetical model was proposed, which was composed of metacognition and interactions as exogenous variables; and problem solving ability and achievement as endogenous variables. The results of this study are as follows: First, metacognition and interactions had significant effects on gifted students' problem solving ability. Second, problem solving ability had significant effects on gifted students' achievement. And problem solving ability was verified as a complete mediating variable between metacognition and achievement also interactions and achievement.

In this paper we study meaning and methods of analyzing problems related with equation of high school mathematics. By analyzing problem we can get two types of informations. Based on these informations we suggest some problem solving methods. Especially we try to extract second type information using analysis through synthesis. This second type information can help us to find new non-routine problem solving method.

미래사회를 대비하기 위하여 7차 교육과정에서는 창의력과 문제해결력 신장을 그 목표로 하고 있다. 그러나 학교에서의 컴퓨터 교육과정은 지나치게 기능 위주의 내용이나, 단순 컴퓨터 활용교육만을 강조하고 있어 이러한 취지를 잘 살리지 못하고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 컴퓨터 프로그래밍에 대한 관심이 점점 증대되고 있다. 컴퓨터 프로그래밍은 그 자체가 문제 해결 과정을 포항하고 있기 때문이다. 그러나 프로그래밍을 초등학생들이 배우면서 프로그래밍의 기초인 이진법과 이진연산을 쉽게 이해하지 못해 어려움을 많이 겪고 있다. 게다가 이진법은 디지털화의 중심기술로서, 향후 미래사회를 이해하는데 매우 중요한 부분으로 자리 잡아 그 자체로도 큰 중요성을 가지게 되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 학생들 수준에 맞춰 프로래밍의 기초와 이진법, 이진연산을 학습할 수 있는 교육 방안을 개발하기 위해 'LED 소자를 이용한 프로그래밍의 기초교육 방안'을 설계하여, 고차원적인 문제해결력과 창의성을 기르는 컴퓨터 교육의 한 모델을 제시하였다.

The aim of software education is to increase students' Computational Thinking(CT) skills that they can compose problems and provide solutions which can be carried out effectively by information-processing systems. Furthermore, if problem solving situations can provide students with meaningful problem solving opportunities in authentic social contexts, then software education would be more valuable. This study pursued educational robot-based SW convergence education where 4th grade primary students have access to tangible outputs and can engage in authentic problem solving situations working with peers by using robots and programming. In addition, this study investigated the effectiveness of the classes in terms of computational thinking skills and social capabilities(collaborative skills and communication skills). The current study provides educational robot-based SW convergence education cases of a primary school and discusses the effectiveness of the classes in terms of students' computational thinking skills and social capabilities.

There exist many differences between the revised Informatics curriculum in 2007 and the current Informatics curriculum in junior-high school. The revised Informatics curriculum emphasized on the computer science principles and problem solving ability instead of the application program usage. Since the revised Informatics curriculum introduces a new section called 'Problem-solving methods and procedures', which is not included in the current computer curriculum, the development of achievement standards and assessment standards were needed in this section. This paper developed the achievement standards and assessment standards in 'Problem-solving methods and procedures' section in order to give the guideline of the teaching strategies and evaluation methods in the revised Informatics curriculum.

Recent college education in the face of the Fourth Industrial Revolution highlights problem-solving skills or creativity over the passing of professional knowledge. In addition, the need for convergence education is growing further as high-tech information and communication technologies are converging to create innovative changes. In this study, after IT convergence education was conducted and after general convergence education was conducted, the difference in creative problem solving capabilities was compared and analyzed. The study found that students who received IT convergence education had higher creative problem solving capabilities than general convergence education, and showed a statistically significant difference. In order to foster creative problem-solving skills, universities will need to promote IT convergence education in various courses.

Children should have opportunities to experience problem solving individually with strategies for developing their problem solving abilities. To make an instructional design for individual teaming, problem solving activities were classified into categories like individual activities, individual activities within a group, and team teaching. A flow of teaching and teaming process was designed before, and concrete and semi-concrete materials were used in an experimental teaching, which was analysed in this research.
