The 2015 revised curriculum includes 'informatics' course including the process of building software aiming at cultivating creative and convergent ability. This study analyzes the competencies pursued in the revised curriculum and defines computational thinking as the main competency. The subjects of the study were the first grade of a middle school in the first semester of the 2018 school year. Of the 95 collected data, 83 data were used for analysis and the significance was confirmed by the paired t-test. Also, computational concept, computational practice and computational perspectives were confirmed through artifact-based interviews. As a result of statistical analysis, critical thinking, creativity, algorithmic thinking, and problem-solving significantly increased among sub-variables of computational thinking. Statistical results and interview results were analyzed to provide implications for design and implementation of software education in 'informatics' course.

This paper aims to prepare basic design education materials explaining the design process of egg drop device by incorporating critico(-creative) thinking. To this end, in this paper, by utilizing the creative problem solving process and the elements and standards of critical thinking, 'the five-step creative engineering design education guidelines' have been prepared so that engineering freshmen can effectively participate in engineering design projects without major knowledge. We would like to apply them to the egg drop device design. The egg drop device design, which is experiment to make and drop a drop device that can protect an egg from breaking when it is dropped freely from high places, is an engineering design project that is widely used not only in elementary, middle and high school science events but also in engineering education courses under the name of 'stunt egg'. Perhaps the basic design education material on the egg drop device design incorporating critico(-creative) thinking in this paper will contribute to incorporating critico(-creative) thinking into engineering education, as well as to achieving the educational goals of the basic design subject.

본 연구에서는 Atmel사의 AVR 마이크로프로세서에 적합하게 개발된 Java 바이트코드 인터프리터인 NanoVM을 자체 개발한 마이크로로봇에 이식하여 Java 언어 전용 로봇을 구현하였다. 따라서 마이크로프로세서의 구조와 회로를 모르는 학생들도 로봇을 프로그래밍하면서 Java 언어를 효율적으로 학습할 수 있다. 더욱이 최근 학생들의 프로그래밍언어 학습 능력이 떨어지면서 컴퓨터 관련학과의 프로그래밍언어 교육이 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 학생들의 프로그래밍언어 학습 동기를 부여하고 창의 공학적 프로그래밍언어 교육프로그램의 도입이 필요한 시점에서 본 연구에서 개발한 Java 로봇은 많은 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.

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.

Considering the recent trend highlighting the importance of STEAM education, the purpose of this study is to develop scientific research activities and STEAM technology material using the smart device sensor. Drawing a picture on a map with GPS drawing application which contains elements such as IT, geographic information, sports and arts, we intent not just to install a smartphone application but also to get synergic effects and help with real cartography and geographic classes which are not experienced in the middle school curriculum, by using the functions of a smart device. Through the development of STEAM teaching material, we intended to provide a clear direction towards advancement by developing creative teaching data and teaching models which encourage students to improve their interest and creativity in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.

The purpose of this study was to comprehensively examine the effect of capstone design education on learning outcomes and propose directions for effective design and implementation of capstone design classes. For achieving this, a 21 studies meeting the standards among the academic journals and thesis published in Korea by September 2020 were selected, and based on 83 effect sizes, the meta analyses were carried out. The results of this study were as follows: First, the total effect size of capstone design education was 0.96, which is a large effect size. Second, the effect size was large in order of affective, cognitive, and social areas. Third, the effect size of vocational basic ability showed a large effect size while creativity showed a medium-sized one. Fourth, the effect size showed highest for design subject, the grade in the third or fourth, there was help from industrial corporation, theory and practice. Based on these results, this study proposed instructional design implications in order to increase the learning effects of capstone design in Korea.

This paper presents a concept of training coursework for engineers in cooperation with the industry combining system, comparing Korea with France. The students, after first two years in a university for the foundation/basic courses, will be centered in the industry, rather than at an academic institution, where field training engineering coursework will be offered in structured or capstone design(problem based learning) formats through the industry. This study on the improvement of the concept has several advantages including the followings ; 1) Industry hiring local-area students who have the potential to be long-term employees; 2) Industry's immediate access to employees with developing engineering skills; 3) On-the-job training reduced industry training costs after graduation; 4) More effective learning through observing complex operations; 5) Students and industry input for continuous improvement of the curriculum; 6) Greater amenability on the part of industry to actively participate in research and development; 7) Increasing in the flow of real research problems for engineering. Finally, the implications for student quality, accreditation, assessment of partnership, academic freedom, and fundraising for scholarships and researches are discussed briefly.

The purpose of this study is to examine the perception of science educators (science research experts and science teachers) about invention education in science education. The instrument in surveying their perception consisted of the necessity of invention education in science education, the connection between invention and science education, and the demand for in-service invention education for science teachers. Subjects were 119 science educators (67 science teachers and 52 science research experts). They perceived positively about including invention educational content in school science education. They perceived that invention education was highly related to science education. Even though science educators have almost average level of understanding invention education, they demand in-service invention education for science teachers. Most of them referred informal courses to formal ones for school science education. Considering real life, engineering design, creative thinking in science education, invention method, and educational strategies can be effective for science education.

Recently, as per a representative education method to develop core capabilities (such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) problem based learning (PBL) has been widely adopted in universities. Two important features of PBL are 'collaboration between team members' and 'participation based self-directed learning'. These two features should be satisfied in online education, although it is difficult due to the limitation on space and time in the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper presents a new design of PBL class in Metaverse, based on improving the online PBL class operated in the previous semesters in the H university. In the proposed PBL class, students are able to display materials (e.g., image, pdf, video files) in 3D virtual space, that are related to problem solving. The 3D virtual space is called gallery in this paper. The concept of gallery allows for active participation of students. In addition, the gallery can be used as a tool for collaborative meeting or for final presentation. If possible, the new design of PBL class will be applied and its effectiveness will be analyzed.
