This study analyzed the cases of three teacher communities participating in an innovative professional development program and clarified the characteristics and the process of lessons for mathematics-oriented convergence that were developed and applied during the program. Each of the teacher communities designed and implemented lessons according to the context of each community and the concept of lessons for mathematics-oriented convergence were developed and refined. The lessons developed by the three teacher communities were characterized as convergence problem posing lessons using technology, convergence of various subject content focused on mathematical concepts through team teaching, and convergence lessons according to students' achievement levels. The program contributed to teacher community activities by proving sustainable professional development in the area of convergence education, a connection between the content of their professional development and the context of the field, and opportunities for active participation in the process of developing and implementing the convergence lessons.

This study explores the impact of a STEM integration teacher professional development program focusing on teachers' perception of engineering and their attitudes toward integrating engineering into teaching. A total of sixty-eight teachers from ten schools participated in the program for five days. Data are collected from three main sources including (1) pre and post concept maps probing teachers' perceptions about the engineering discipline, (2) a pre and post survey measuring teachers' self-efficacy of teaching science/mathematics within the engineering context, and (3) engineering integrated science and (or) mathematics lesson plans and teaching reflections. This study utilizes both qualitative and quantitative research methods depending on the data we have collected. The results show that both science and math teachers thought that integrating engineering into teaching provided valuable outcomes, i.e., promoting students' learning about engineering and improving their interest in science or math through real-world problem solving exercises. Participants also felt more comfortable about integrating engineering in their teaching after the program. The results also imply that the teachers' understandings of engineering become more concrete after the program. This study also provides an overview of the challenges and advantages of teaching engineering in K-12 science and mathematics classrooms.

본 연구는 합동과 대칭의 지도를 위하여 융합 프로그램을 개발하고, 초등학생에게 적용하여 그 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 수학 영역에서 학생의 선호도가 가장 높은 합동과 대칭을 주제로 선정하고, Drake의 주제중심 통합단원 수업설계 절차를 토대로 프로그램을 개발하였다. 학습자의 학습 유형을 고려하여 다양한 활동이 가능한 미술 교과와 융합하였으며 초등학교 5학년 학생에게 적용 가능한 활동계획안을 개발하였다. 총 12가지 활동계획안을 개발하고 그 중 5가지 활동의 수업안과 학습지를 학생들에게 적용하였다. 연구대상은 서울시 송파구 소재의 초등학교 5학년 1개반 16명의 단일집단으로 구성하였다. 개발된 융합프로그램은 학생들의 수학적 창의성과 융합인재소양을 신장시키는 데 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다.
