유비쿼터스 환경 시대에 맞춰 현재 스마트 디바이스의 발달과 시장의 확대로 스마트 미디어 기기의 보급이 급속도로 확산되고 있으며 많은 교육용 어플리케이션 또한 개발되고 있는 중이다. 이러한 교육용 어플리케이션들은 지식기반사회의 학습도구로서 지식접근 및 창출에 중요한 요소인 인터넷과 웹을 활용하게 되고 이동성과 편의성을 추구하는 모바일기기를 통해 학습이 가능하도록 지원하는 프로그램이다. 본 연구는 모바일러닝 기반의 '창의적 문제해결(CPS, Creative Problem Solving)' 모형을 활용하는 교육용 앱에 대한 설계방안을 제시하고자 하며 연구의 목적은 대학 교육에서 학생들의 창의적 사고와 문제해결능력 향상을 돕는 모바일러닝 기반의 학습환경을 설계하는 데 있다. 제안하는 학습지원 도구는 모바일 앱 형태로 제작되며 학습활동에 있어 다양한 창의적 사고과정 활동과 표현방식, 상호작용성 등의 기능을 통해 학습자의 고차원적인 사고능력을 향상시키는 인지적 도구로서 활용될 수 있도록 설계하였다. 개발환경은 안드로이드용 앱 인벤터 프로그램을 사용하였으며 앱 인벤터 서버환경에서 제공되는 컴포넌트와 이벤트 핸들러를 이용하여 교수자모드와 학습자모드의 앱을 각각 설계하였다. 교수자 앱은 학습활동 제공을 의미하는 프로바이더(Provider) 모드 기능이 포함되며 학습자 앱은 CPS 활동을 위한 학습활동 모드 기능이 설계된다. 대부분의 창의성 관련 앱들은 그래픽작업을 통한 두뇌활동 향상 프로그램, 체험활동 위주의 프로그램 등으로 출시가 되어 있으나 교수-학습 활동을 위한 창의적 문제해결활동 관련 앱은 존재하지 않는 상태이므로 수업활동에서의 활용측면에서 가치가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Various methods have recently tried to improve elementary mathematics education. One of the common themes is how to activate learners' creative thinking and thus facilitate their learning activities in mathematics. This research attempts to find out what basic elements constitute students' creative thinking, based on psychological studies with regard to learners' thinking activities. Also, the research presents specific mathematics problems and questions which can be used as patterns for the activation and the formation of students' creative thinking in elementary mathematics education.

Creative thinking alone can not lead to scientific creativity. Scientific knowledge and scientific inquiry skills are needed for scientific creativity. Focused only on cognitive aspect, I suggested a cognitive model of scientific creativity (CMSC) consisting of 3 components: thinking for scientific creativity, scientific knowledge contents, and scientific inquiry skills. Recently, many researchers have emphasized the various thinking for creativity as well as divergent thinking. Therefore, I suggested three types of creative thinking - divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and associational thinking - and discussed its rationale. Based on this model, an example of activity material for the scientific creativity was suggested. In the further research, based on CMSC, various activity types related to scientific creativity and concrete learning materials for scientific creativity will be developed.

This study aims to design an exemplification task to facilitate the students' creative thinking, and to investigate mathematical creativity which emerges from exemplification. In particular, we aim to identify the ways to design exemplification tasks which encourage creative thinking, and characterize mathematical creativity fostered by exemplification. The findings showed that the students' creative thinking related to fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality emerged through exemplification.

The purpose of this research is to analyze creativity-personality activities given in the high school science textbooks, which developed according to 2009 Revised Science Curriculum, and to examine how goals of new science curriculum were reflected in sceince the textbooks. An analysis shows that the proportion of inquiry is the best high among the types of creativity-personality activities. Also it is organized for a various activities such as reading, writing and debate. As a result of analyzing creativity-personality activities regarding creative thinking and personality element, a variety of creative thinking and personality element was not composed. The creative thinking is primarily divergent thinking, convergent thinking and associative thinking appears in order. In addition, the caring of personality elements is the most, and then honesty, cooperation and responsibility appears in order. Thus, it is necessary to structure a variety of activities for edification of creativity-personality in high school science textbooks. As an analysis of creativity-personality activities regarding elements of the decision-making, the review process do not appear at all, and there are few decision points generally. Therefore, a rational decision making for the sake of edification should be provided with specific decision-making factors.

The purpose of this study was to develop 'Appropriate Technology' theme STEAM Program for the elementary students and investigate the effects of the program on creative thinking activity, scientific attitude and leadership. Participants were 3grade 85 elementary school students. Before and after the program, the participants were asked to take the tests about creative thinking activity, scientific attitude and leadership. The major results of this study were as follows. First, the total score of experimental group's creative thinking activity and all 4 sub-domains was significantly improved than those of comparative group(p<.05). Second, the total score of experimental groups' scientific attitude was significantly improved than that of comparative group(p<.05). Among 7 sub-domains, curiosity, voluntariness, perseverance were significantly developed. Third, total score of experimental groups' leadership was significantly increased than that of comparative group after the STEAM program (p<.05). In the first factor, the score of inner and inter personal characteristics were significantly developed.

One of the most important activities in the process of mathematical modeling is to build models by conjecturing mathematical rules and principles in the real phenomena and to validate the models by considering its validity. Due to uncertainty and ambiguity inherent real-contexts, various strategies and solutions for mathematical modeling can be available. This characteristic of mathematical modeling can offer a proper environment in which creativity could intervene in the process and the product of modeling. In this study, first we analyze the process and the product of mathematical modeling, especially focusing on the students' models and validating way, to find evidences about whether modeling can facilitate students'creative thinking. The findings showed that the students' creative thinking related to fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality emerged through mathematical modeling.

디지털 콘텐츠의 한 형태로 볼 수 있는 앱은 개발자들의 창의적 사고를 바탕으로 현재도 무수히 쏟아져 나오고 있으며, 많은 사용자로부터 선택되어 활용되고 있다. 이러한 변화는 교육분야에도 영향을 주어 앱을 활용한 교육환경과 교육방법에 대한 다양한 연구가 현재 진행되고 있다. 앱과 같은 디지털 콘텐츠의 개발은 창의적 아이디어를 기반으로 구현되며 이는 콘텐츠 사용자의 유용성과 경제적 가치를 결정하는데 중요한 요소로 작용하고 있다. 이러한 창의와 디지털 기술을 접목한 앱 프로그래밍 교육은 학생들의 창의적 사고와 문제해결력을 향상시키는데 중요한 역할을 하며 특히 교육용 프로그래밍 언어(EPL, Educational Programming Language)를 활용한 코딩 교육과 창의적 문제해결력 향상에 관한 관련 연구들이 활성화되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 EPL을 바탕으로 비IT계열 전공의 대학생들에게 프로그래밍 교육을 실시하고 창의적 사고를 통해 디지털 콘텐츠인 앱을 제작하는 것에 초점을 두기 위한 안드로이드 앱제작 교육 프로그램 개발을 진행하였다. EPL을 위한 도구는 MIT 미디어랩에서 개발한 클라우드 기반의 안드로이드용 앱 인벤터2(App Inventor 2)를 사용하며, 제작한 앱을 스마트 기기에서 즉시 실행하고 확인할 수 있다는데 대해 학습만족도와 성취감이 높음을 수업관찰을 통해 확인할 수 있었으며 제작 과정에서도 활발한 사고력를 발휘하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Art Collaborative advertising uses creative works that are not related directly to the product and recreates it as a more valuable product. Creative thinking acts as a core value. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of creative thinking using mind map and SCAMPER technique in art collaboration class. After analyzing the art collaboration advertisement class for 6 students in middle school, we analyzed characteristics between creative technique and creativity through student activities and work. The results were as follows. First, creative thinking ability of students who experienced art collaboration showed flexibility and originality in SCAMPER, and fluency in mind map. Second, throughout the course, we were able to observe elaboration, which embodied tough ideas and developed depth. This study will contribute to the research related to the improvement of students' creative convergence case by meeting two or more areas and collaborating on each core competency.

Computational thinking has been recently highlighted as an essential ability of the 21st Century so that many educational efforts have focused on broadening participation in computing and promoting computational thinking in K-12 settings. This paper describes the impact of creative learning activities with the Scratch on middle school students' computational thinking and creative potential. The learning activities were designed and implemented in 12 sessions with 34 middle school students. The pre and post creative potential assessment results show that students' creative personality and ideational behavior were significantly enhanced. Also, project portfolio analysis shows that students came to understand several computational concepts that are useful in a wide range of programming contexts: sequences, loops, conditionals, events, and operators.
