It is easy to assume that contradictions are logically incorrect or empty sets that have no solvability. This dilemma, which can not be done, is difficult to solve because it has to solve the contradiction hidden in it. Paradoxically, therefore, contradiction resolution has been viewed as an innovative and creative problem-solving. TRIZ, which analyzes the solution of the problem from the perspective of resolving contradictions, has been used for people rather than computers. The Butterfly model, which analyzes the problem from the perspective of solving the contradiction like TRIZ, analyzed the type of contradiction problem using symbolic logic. In order to apply an appropriate concrete solution strategy for a given contradiction problems, we designed the Butterfly algorithm based on decision making tree. We also developed a visualization tool based on Python tkInter to find concrete solution strategies for given contradiction problems. In order to verify the developed tool, the third grade students of middle school learned the Butterfly algorithm, analyzed the contradiction of the wooden support, and won the grand prize at an invention contest in search of a new solution. The Butterfly algorithm developed in this paper systematically reduces the solution space of contradictory problems in the beginning of problem solving and can help solve contradiction problems without trial and errors.

This study is to investigate the creative thinking style and it's leaning that normal students and scientifically gifted students use mainly at processing information. Right Brain vs Left Brain Creativity Test(R/LCT) and Brain Preference Indicator(BPI) is taken to investigate the creative thinking style of normal students(N=144) and scientifically gifted students(N=97). In the R/LCT, the normal students responded that they prefer to use right-brain thinking rather than left-brain thinking. But the scientifically gifted students prefer to left-brain thinking. The normal students showed most preference for Holistic Processing of right side brain and they did most avoiding for Verbal Processing of left side brain. The scientifically gifted students showed most preference for Logical Processing of left side brain. And they did most avoiding for Random Processing of right side brain. There was a meaningful difference between left side brain preference group and right side brain preference group on Sequential, Symbolic, Logical, Verbal, Random, Intuitive, Fantasy-oriented Processing of normal Students. But the scientifically gifted students showed a meaningful difference in right side brain processing mainly. In other word, all the scientifically gifted students took an lean processing in Logical, Symbolic, Linear Processing, etc. In sum, the scientifically gifted students are unequal in at processing information against the normal students. So it is required more appropriate teaching-learning method based on the creative thinking style and it's leaning for effective gifted education.

In this study, a STEAM program emphasizing the engineering design process was developed and applied to investigate its effects on the creative engineering problem-solving proficiency and self-directed learning ability of elementary school students. In addition, the study compared and analyzed differences according to gender. The program was conducted across five sessions targeting 141 students in the fourth grade in an elementary school in the Gyeongin area. The study measured the creative engineering problem-solving disposition and self-directed learning ability of the students before and after the STEAM program. It also administered satisfaction and perception tests. The result confirmed that the STEAM program that emphasizes the engineering design process is effective in improving the creative engineering problem-solving propensity and self-directed learning ability of elementary school students, particularly female ones. Analyzing differences in changes based on gender, the study pinpointed significant improvements among female students in all factors except for the subfactor communication and collaboration within tendencies toward creative engineering problem-solving. For male students, the study observed significant effects in the factors engineering design and communication and collaboration. Lastly, the study discussed the educational implications of the findings.

정보화된 미래사회를 준비하기 위하여, 우리나라에서는 실과의 한 영역과 학교재량시간을 통하여 컴퓨터 교육을 하고 있다. 그러나 실과 교육과정은 지나치게 기능 위주의 내용으로 되어있고, 학교 재량시간을 이용한 컴퓨터 교육에서는 타자연습이나 컴퓨터 활용교육만을 강조하고 있다. 이러한 교육은 컴퓨터와 친숙해지는 데는 도움을 줄 수 있지만, 고차원적인 사고력을 지닌 학생을 교육하는 데는 도움이 되지 못한다. 특별히 컴퓨터의 무한한 사용 가능성을 이용하여 창의적 문제 해결력을 기르는 교육은 매우 필요하다 하겠다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 문제 해결 능력 교육, 즉 문제 상황이 주어지고 이것을 해결하는 프로그래밍 교육이 매우 유용하나, 지금까지의 프로그래밍 교육은 지나치게 언어 기술교육에 초점을 두고, 단순 반복과 암기, 아동의 발달단계를 고려하지 않음으로 인해 오히려 창의성을 해치고 학습의 흥미도를 저하시켜왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 학생들 수준에 맞춰 구체적인 결과물이 보이고, 쉽고 흥미롭게 학습할 수 있는 프로그래밍 교육과정을 개발하기 위해 'LED 소자를 이용한 프로그래밍 교육 방안'을 설계하였다. 본 연구를 통하여서 초등학교 학생들이 쉽고 재미있게 프로그래밍에 접근하고, 고차원적인 문제 해결력을 기르는 컴퓨터 교육과정의 한 모델을 제시하였다.

This study aims to suggest app programming education plan by analyzing the effects of app programming education using m-bizmaker on the creative problem solving ability in specialized high school students. Currently, The South Korean government is preparing to conduct SW education in primary and secondary schools. Developing smartphone apps that are familiar to students can be seen as a very effective tool of SW educational measures. In general, app development can only be achieved through specialized training on how to use the app programming language. So, many students think the app programming is difficult areas before creating apps because tired of learning how to an app programming language. As a result of applying app programming education using m-Bizmaker, which is one of the app authoring tools, to the class, it is desirable as an app programming education plan. And according to survey results, it has been proved that the app programming education plan using m-Bizmaker is effective to improve creative problem solving ability.

The purpose of this study is to develop a role play instruction model to increase higher-order thinking abilities in geographical education. This study reviewed the references which included the contents of higher-order thinking abilities, and discussed the educational significance and application of role play instruction model. The developed role play instruction model was applied to four classes in high school in Korea. After applying the model, this study asked some question about the model to the students which engaged in this model. Higher-order thinking essentially means thinking that takes place in the higher-levels of the hierarchy of cognitive processing. Higher-order thinking abilities contain critical thinking abilities, creative thinking abilities, problem solving and decision making abilities, meta-cognition abilities. The role play instruction model is an effective method which can increase higher- order thinking abilities. The questioning to students which engaged in the class of applying to role play instruction model provides feedback about development instruction models to increase higher-order thinking abilities.
