This paper examines three perspectives on science and technology innovation that are aiming at resolving the social problems. Based on the relationship between technocratic experts and civil society in the process of social problem solving innovation, we will discuss 1) expert-centered approach, 2) citizen-centered approach, and 3) expert-citizen collaboration approach. After summarizing these three perspectives, we suggest the direction of development of science and technology innovation policies that solve social problems. It is necessary to identify the social problem solving type innovation policy as a strategic niche for the transformation of the innovation policy, and to develop the future direction in the following ways: 1) deepening the collaborative approach, 2) introducing the sustainability transition approach, and 3) reconstructing the innovation policy using new concept of innovation.

Since creativity has been emphasized and creative problem solving has also been a big topic recently, various kinds of research works have proceeded. Among them, this paper focuses on abstract thinking and growth mindset, which affect on problem solving. Also, this paper analyzes what kinds of relationships time perspectives and smart-phone addiction have with the two factors and how they influence on them. In order to do so, we survey on 441 primary, middle, high school, and college students. Our analysis results cover the relationships among the two factors, smart-phone addiction level, present-hedonic perspective, and future time perspective. In addition, we analyze the relationship among the factors with a structural equation model. By doing these, we propose educational alternatives in terms of time and plan to improve our adolescent's abstract thinking level, which helps their problem solving skills and their academic achievement.

For a long time, mathematics education institutions such as NCTM(National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) have emphasized the essential role of writing, and recent surveys by the Ministry of Education report a decline in foundational academic skills in the post-COVID19 period. The purpose of this study is to redefine the significance of mathematics writing in mathematics education, focusing on competencies highlighted in the field, particularly in the areas of problem-solving, communication, and reasoning. The research findings indicate that writing in problem-solving enhances cognitive organization, fostering the ability to grasp concepts and methods. Writing in communication builds confidence through the meta-cognitive process, and writing in inference allows self-awareness of step-by-step identification of areas lacking understanding. Particularly in the future society where artificial intelligence(AI) is utilized, changes in the learning environment necessitate research for the establishment of authenticity judgment through writing and the cultivation of a proper writing culture.

This study was conducted to identify Korea's TRIZ research trends and to propose implications for setting a direction for future TRIZ research by analyzing TRIZ-related research over the past 15 years, or from 1998 to 2013. The subjects in this study were 256 published studies, including 149 studies in academic journals, 97 master theses, and 10 doctorate theses. This study reached the following conclusion. First, academic journals were the most frequent form of publication of TRIZ-related studies, followed by master's degree theses, and doctorate theses. Second, two or more TRIZ tools were used to solve problems and the most frequently used topic was technical contradiction as the result of frequency analysis for TRIZ research topics. This signified that it was easier to solve problems when various TRIZ tools were used, rather than applying a single TRIZ tool while technical contradiction was considered to be actively used as it allowed the relatively easy understanding of TRIZ. Third, the use of TRIZ research topics had increased and diversified each year. This could be interpreted to be based on the increased understanding of TRIZ. Fourth, case studies and experimental research were the most frequently used methods in TRIZ-related research. This was because various TRIZ tools were applied on problem solving situations, which were directly proposed as the research result. Fifth, the use of TRIZ was increasing in the educational field. Specifically, it was noted that TRIZ was used in creativity education with the use of 40 invention principles in elementary, middle, and high schools.

Recently, the artificial intelligence(AI) is used in various environments in life, and research on this is being actively conducted in education. In this paper, we designed a Design-Based Research(DBR)-based AI programming education program and analyzed the application of the program for the improvement of understanding of AI in elementary school. In the artificial intelligence education program in elementary school, we should considerthat itshould be used in conjunction with software education through programming activities, rather than creating interest through simple AI experiences. The designed education program reflects the collaborative problem-solving procedures following the DBR process of analysis - design - execution - redesign, allowing the real-world problem-solving activities using AI experiences and block-type programming language. This paper also examined the examples of education programs to improve understanding of AI by using Machine Learning for Kids and to draw implications for developing and operating such a program.
