This study was conducted to verify the effect of convergence education applying computing thinking ability of elementary school students on problem solving ability and interest. The subjects of this study were 23 students in 3rd grade elementary school and 15 students in 6th grade, totaling 38 subjects. As a research method, problem-solving ability and interest were measured through questionnaires, and data were analyzed through T-test to see the pre-post differences of the experimental group. As a result of the study, first, it was found that convergence education applying computing thinking ability had a positive effect on problem solving ability. Second, it was found that convergence education applying computational thinking has a partial effect on the degree of interest by subject. Looking at the details, interest in software education and physical activity was high, but interest in eating habits was relatively low. From the above results, it can be seen that convergence education based on computational thinking contributes to drawing students' problem solving ability, and interest.

This study aims to examine the current status of Korean and overseas science and arts convergence programs in and out of schools to apply them in school education settings and to learn about the characteristics of overseas programs through case studies. In addition, it explores implications of the current domestic and overseas for implementation in schools. For this study, we selected 193 domestic in-school science and arts convergence programs and 106 domestic out-of-school programs. For the overseas programs, we selected those conducted by the government, research institutes, science halls, and art galleries. We also analyzed the domestic in-school programs by type of students, operation hours, areas of convergence, and the function and role of arts activities. We analyzed domestic out-of-school programs by operation time, operation method, areas of convergence, and type of activities. Moreover, we examined the overseas programs in terms of their program developers, goals, and characteristics. These findings suggest that in order for science and arts convergence education to become well established in Korean schools, it is necessary to develop programs that can be incorporated into the present science education curriculum, rather than individual content or a single class on science and arts convergence, and to diversify the range of programs. In addition, out-of-school programs should be actively considered, and intense discussions on the use of program activities and teaching materials are needed. Finally, research institutes and educational institutions should be closely linked to achieve a common goal.

This study was conducted with the aim of constructing a unified model according to the structure of qualification types of lifelong education professionals for the disabled. The research method consisted of procedures in which literature analysis and expert meetings were constructed in connection with each other. The contents of the study were suggested from the classification of qualification types into professional teacher type and coordinator type by focusing on special education and rehabilitation, which are related convergence fields that affect the qualification training of lifelong education professionals for the disabled. The two convergence fields, such as special education and rehabilitation welfare, lead to a separate application base from the perspective of education and welfare for the qualification of lifelong education professionals for the disabled, and finally confusion and conflict in the nature and contents of the curriculum and related services. A dichotomy structure system in which this phenomenon results in a divided type of qualification training for lifelong education professionals with disabilities was composed of several samples. In this regard, the curriculum and related services that can build convergence fields related to lifelong education for the disabled were reflected in the context of priority through the criteria that should be emphasized from the standpoint of the disabled in the overall category of establishing lifelong education support system for the disabled. In addition, by forming four qualification criteria centering on this, the common convergence field was composed of special education, thereby enhancing the aspect of inclusion in the rehabilitation welfare field and specific convergence into lifelong education for the disabled. As a result, the two qualification types were unified.

According to the era, area, culture, and scholars, the beauty has been variously interpreted. This paper is analyzed about human beauty, the university environment beauty, and the relevance of awareness about beauty and convergence education. Especially this paper is researched on the basis of the survey data for the B University students. Also in this paper, we considered that what is beauty, whether and how to recognize human beauty, which was investigated whether the beauty of the campus environment. Futhermore, we discussed about relevance of beauty and convergence education. We describes relevance of major education and aesthetics, and relevance of characteristics education. In this survey, it can be seen that theses students have awareness of holistic human beauty and that inner beauty rather than outer beauty is more preferentially. The beauty of university environment is important to know university member's beauty, and individual character and major competencies of faculties and staffs suited to establishment ideology of the university, and the emotional education and administration suited to the emotional generations. Because beauty awareness of university programs appear through the students' character and major competence, it was recognized that the convergence beauty education of university program is properly carried out is important.
