An 'Introduction to Creative Engineering Design' course at College of Engineering at Chungnam National University is required for all freshmen. The objective of this course is to educate the freshmen with basic engineering design concepts and experiences in creative problem-solving approaches. It provides the students learning opportunities in solving engineering design problems through team efforts and creative approaches. Thus, this course emphasizes creative ideas and thinking, engineering design experiences to students over the course. This study presents the syllabus, the examples of PBL (problem based learning)-related activities as a team, and the results of the course evaluation and outcomes. Based on the results of this study, we can conclude that overall this course using PBL method had significant positive effects on the course outcomes and the creativity of the engineering freshmen in the department of environmental engineering at Chungnam National University. However, there are still efforts to be needed to improve the PBL-related activities in the course, including students' workload, financial supports, and team work.

본고는 수학적 창의성과 관련한 논문으로 이를 창의적인 사람, 창의적인 산출물, 창의적인 과정이란 일반 창의성 연구자들이 연구하고 있는 분야로부터 유추적으로 논의를 시도하였다. 이런 접근으로부터, 얻을 수 있는 몇 가지 가정들은 다음과 같은 것이 있다. 첫 번째, 일반 보통아들을 대상으로 하는 공교육에서도 창의성 교육을 할 수 있으며, 이는 수학교과에도 적합한 진술이다. 두 번째, 현상학적 입장으로 부터 학교에서 교수${\cdot}$ 학습되고 있는 학교수학이 학생들 입장에서 보면 학습해야 할 필요가 있는 적절하고 새로운 지식이란 점을 공고히 해 주었다. 또한, 여기서 강조한 것은 새롭고 적절한 지식이 완성된 지식뿐만 아니라 발생상태 그대로의 지식 즉, 과정으로서의 지식도 포함하고 있음을 제안하였다. 세 번째, 수학자가 수학을 탐구하는 과정을 창의성 연구자들이 보듯이 인지과정으로 보는 대신에 한 수학적 아이디어를 이로부터 하나의 완성된 수학적 지식을 완성하기까지의 수학적 사고과정으로 보는 것이 수학교육적 의미에서 교수${\cdot}$ 학습에 의미가 있음을 살펴보았다.

A science program based on constructivism was adopted to 24 preschoolers during 13 classes in a semester. Performance in TTCT and science problem solving tasks were measured before and after the program. When their performance was compared with that of the control group in the same educational centers, it was shown that they outperformed in both creativity measures and science problem solving tasks. There was no gender difference in the effect of this science program.

'Creative Economy' has been announced as the new paradigm of socio-economic development strategy of newly elected President Geun-Hye Park's administration. By explicitly defining people as a major player in creative activity, it seems to depart from expert-driven or science & technology-focused development paradigms of previous administrations. Yet, its interpretation and operation in terms of government policy does not seem to show any differences. This study aims to explicate the nature of Creative Economy as a development paradigm by clarifying the differences between people's creativity and that of scientists and engineers through extensive literature review. People can contribute to the creative activity not just as users but also as living persons who make everyday yet independent choices based on their humanistic, philosophical, ethical and experiential capabilities which are clearly different from the sources of scientists' & engineers' creativity. People's creative activity does involve value judgement about life and can often accelerate the system innovation or transition by changing consumer behaviour and lifestyle, and hence destruct technological lock-in user lock-in of the existing system. People's creativity can thus present 'User/Field-driven Innovation Paradigm which clearly differs from existing expert- or science & technology-driven innovation paradigm. The Creative Economy with focus on people's creativity therefore faces new socio-economic development challenges of fulfilling the User/Field-driven Innovation Paradigm.

This study explored the relationship between science academic passion, positive experience about science and scientific creativity in elementary science-gifted students. To do this, 108 science-gifted students from grades 3 to 6 were selected. After conducting the tests on their science academic passion, positive experience about science and scientific creativity, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The results revealed that the students exhibited relatively high levels of science academic passion and positive experience about science, but their scientific creativity was not relatively high. While there was no statistically significant correlation between the overall science academic passion and scientific creativity, there was a significant negative correlation with scientific creativity in the aspect of 'obsessive passion' of the five subcategories ('importance', 'like', 'time/energy investment', 'harmonious passion', and 'obsessive passion'). Furthermore, the five subcategories, particularly 'like', 'harmonious passion', and 'obsessive passion' were statistically significant predictors of scientific creativity. However, the five subcategories of positive experience about science ('science academic emotion', 'science-related self-concept', 'science learning motivation', 'science-related career aspiration', and 'science-related attitude') did not exhibit statistically significant correlations with scientific creativity and did not had a significant influence on it. Additionally, neither the overall science academic passion nor the overall positive experience about science had a statistically significant effect on scientific creativity. Educational implications of these results were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of job autonomy and task significance on creative behavior in military organizations, and to identify the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship among job autonomy and task significance and creative behavior. For this study, a survey was conducted for 559 officers and non-commissioned officers of the Army and the data was analyzed using AMOS. The results of the study have showed that job autonomy and task significance had a statistically significant effect on creative behavior and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy has also been shown to have a statistically significant effect on creative behavior. In addition, self-efficacy has been found to mediate the relationship between job autonomy and creative behavior and between task significance and creative behavior. This study has theoretical and practical implications in that it expanded the research results to military organizations that had been relatively insufficient, confirmed the leading factors and mechanisms of creative behavior in military organizations, and proposed various measures to induce creative action in military organizations. Based on these results, research restrictions and directions for further research were presented.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the effects of early childhood design program based on brain-compatible learning principles. Subjects were thirty-six children from two class of I kindergarten and S kindergarten in K city. One class was assigned to an experimental group and had early childhood education program activities based on brain-compatible learning principles and the other class was assigned to a comparative group the general art education program activities. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the comparative group in their fluency, originality, sensitivity of creativity. Second, participants in the experimental group also score higher on the helpful act, communication skill, sharing skill, empathy, and regulation of emotion. Therefore, early childhood design education program based on brain-compatible learning principles should be considered as a meaningful alternative method for promoting children's creativity and prosocial behaviors.

This study is a study to examine and verify the importance of human resources among the various factors that modern companies need to consider in order to cope with the changing environment. As independent variables, acquiescent and defensive silence were composed of the motives felt by members, and creativity and innovation behavior were set as the outcome variables. Through this research, first, the importance of communication between the members of the organization and the manager is investigated, and it is intended to be managed efficiently. Secondly, we would like to confirm the modulating effect of resilience in the relationship between them, and to find out the importance of psychological recovery of members. In the end, this aims to talk about the importance of psychological management and recovery of members in managing human resources. As a result, acquiescent silence negatively affects creativity and innovation behavior, and defensive silence positively affects creativity and innovation behavior. In addition, in the case of the moderating effect of resilience, there was no significant relationship in both defensive silence, creativity, and innovation behavior, and in the case of acquiescent silence, only innovation behavior was found to be significant. This is the result of the combination of the unique characteristics of resilience and the difference in the disposition of the members who choose resignation silence and defensive silence.
