This paper describes the effects of Novel Engineering(NE) on improvement of creative problem-solving abilities. We performed two classes for control and experience group. They are all 5th grade students. Core concept of the NE lesson is ecosystem and interaction with 8 hours long. We designed a lesson able to integrate subjects like Korean, Science and Practical Arts. Then we performed pre-and-post t-test on creative problem-solving ability. The experimental results showed that NE lesson has a high effects on 4 sub-elements like self conviction and independence, diffusion thinking, critical thinking and motivational component. The research showed that NE class is a good teaching-learning method to cultivate various competencies for our children. NE is a convergence learning model integrating various problem-solving paradigms ever researched. Thus we expect that NE is a foundation for convergence curriculum model to lead our children to their future and get settled to all schools.

This paper jointly designed and developed a liberal arts curriculum at two local universities for college liberal arts education using generative AI centered on ChatGPT. The developed curriculum takes into account the conceptual components for designing classes for integrated use of university ChatGPT presented in existing research, understands the language model and artificial intelligence that form the basis of ChatGPT, and applies generative AI including ChatGPT to various domains. It was developed with useful content. The developed curriculum introduces the concept and changing aspects of artificial intelligence and the natural language processing language model that is the basis of ChatGPT for students in various majors, and generates ChatGPT, a generative AI and large language model (LLM), and various open sources. The purpose was to implement my own AI service using the model and present an example of mutual collaboration between universities in Joint Education Curriculum Operation.

In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, the world is undergoing rapid social change. The purpose of this study is to predict the expected changes and necessary competencies and desired curriculum and teaching methods in the field of mechanical engineering in the near future. The research method was a Delphi study. It was conducted three times with 20 mechanical engineering experts. The results of the study are as follows: In the field of mechanical engineering, it will be increased the situational awareness by the use of measurement sensors, development of computer applications, flexibility and optimization by user's needs and mechanical equipment, and demand for robots equipped with AI. The mechanical engineer's career perspectives will be positive, but if it is stable, it will be a crisis. Therefore active response is needed. The competencies required in the field of mechanical engineering include collaborative skills, complex problem solving skills, self-directed learning skills, problem finding skills, creativity, communication skills, convergent thinking skills, and system engineering skills. The undergraduate curriculum to achieve above competencies includes four major dynamics, basic science, programming coding education, convergence education, data processing education, and cyber physical system education. Preferred mechanical engineering teaching methods include project-based learning, hands-on education, problem-based learning, team-based collaborative learning, experiment-based education, and software-assisted education. The mechanical engineering community and the government should be concerned about the education for mechanical engineers with the necessary competencies in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, which will make global competitiveness in the mechanical engineering fields.

As society evolves into the information society, major countries strengthen software education. Especially, the curriculums of school to enlarge software education are made in major countries. Therefore, Korea Association of Information Education (KAIE) have studied a standard model for software education and revised the standard model that was published in 2014. The KAIE suggested a new plan that contents of software education classify by 'Software', 'Computer System' and 'Convergence Activities.' Therefore, I studied on a curriculum for 'Information' topic in elementary school. In this paper, I suggested the achievement goals for education of 'Information' topic. I nextly suggested teaching-learning and evaluation methods to meet the achievement goals. And I expect that the achievement goals, teaching-learning and evaluation methods I suggested about 'Information' topic will contribute to develop the curriculum for software education.

The purpose of the study was to suggest how and what human rights education goes with civil democracy education. Analysis of civil democracy education contents in the 2022 revised general education curriculum draft and that of the 2030 OECD Education project have been performed to find out what contents are necessarily included. Results are as follows: Firstly, human rights education needs to be adopted as an independent subject to be delivered with detailed and organized information. Secondly, actual experiences in diverse curricular and extracurricular activities need to be provided. Thirdly, a human rights-friendly atmosphere needs to be established to update teachers' perception and upgrade competency regarding human rights education. Lastly, it is expected that these activities facilitate adoption of human rights education curriculum into 2022 general education.

As social environment has changed, a practical academy for higher employment rates becomes more important in higher education. It is need to have a paradigm shift in geography education. In this background, this study explore practical education in geography. This study propose practical strategy using GIS curriculum. First, the demand analysis in national and regional area is need. Second, continuous renewal reflecting new technologies is need. Third, capstone design and co-operative education with GIS company is need. Fourth, convergence and diversification in Geography education is need. Fifth, publicity for the practical geography education is need.

The purpose of this study was to develop the psychology-based naturalistic competency curriculum so that forest-related experts could fully play the role of a mediator between nature(forest) and human(visitors). The curriculum was designed in three parts: a pleasant life, a wise life, and a meaningful life. Contents were focused on recognizing and naming one's senses and emotions in nature, discovering nature-related memories and Naturalistic Intelligence, experiencing the flow in nature and activating the Default Mode Network. The curriculum supplemented by expert's advice was implemented as job training for forest-related experts, and the curriculum was finally revised by examining the understanding and utilization of the participants. As a result, the curriculum in three areas of emotion, cognition, and practice was completed. It is expected that this curriculum will be upgraded through evaluation in the future so that forest-related experts can provide more qualitative service by strengthening their naturalistic competency.

The purpose of this study is to suggest an curriculum model of teaching scheme which performs team project learning based on Integrated project with different fields. To address this goal, the present study suggests a practical game project model under the same game-making circumstances as game industry by consisting of real case of convergence parts(game graphic, game design, game program). This project-based learning case has been conducting Integrated project education since 2008 in A educational Institute in Korea. The results of study suggest a standard of Integrated-based curriculum model and it is constructed with two parts. The first part is what students learned during project processing, such as responsibility, communication. The other part is how to construct the educational environment for integrated project. It explains how to organize and build teams, plan of integrated project, rule the role of team task, perform collaborative task, present interim/final presentation, evaluate grade. This study is expected to be utilized as a framework for the instructional design and the guideline for improving learner competency in team project learning.
