Abstract

STEM Education in the US and Korean STEAM are reviewed. The present STEM education focuses on K-12 and it does not concern STEM education in university. In this paper, we define a STEM education that can be made available in university and we establish a way of teaching and learning differential equations based on the STEM education. The class provides students with a chance to explore the capstone design projects that are developed by seniors and do hands-on activities. We introduce and set a Mobius strip with an instant delivery pathway to solve real problems as a symbol of STEM education.

본 연구에서는 미국에서 시발된 STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)교육과 이를 벤치마킹하여 만든 한국의 STEAM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics)교육의 실태를 조사하여 대학용 STEM교육을 주관적으로 정의하고 이를 달성하기 위한 방안을 제안한다. 현재의 STEM교육은 초등학교에서 고등학교를 대상으로 하고 있지만, 조만간 그 여파가 대학에까지 미칠 것이 예측되므로 STEM교육을 기반으로 하는 수학교육 방안을 제안한다. 대학 4학년 때에 수행하는 졸업설계작품을 통한 기술(T)과 공학(E)에 대한 탐구활동과 hands-on 활동을 2학년 때에 배우는 수학교과목 중 하나인 미분방정식의 학습도구로 취급하는 새로운 교육 및 학습방안을 제안한다. STEM교육의 중요성을 교훈하기 위해서 실제 사회의 문제가 즉시 전달되어야 한다는 것을 강조한 통로가 설치된 뫼비우스 띠를 STEM교육의 심벌로 도입 및 설정한다.
