Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop 'Appropriate Technology' theme STEAM Program for the elementary students and investigate the effects of the program on creative thinking activity, scientific attitude and leadership. Participants were 3grade 85 elementary school students. Before and after the program, the participants were asked to take the tests about creative thinking activity, scientific attitude and leadership. The major results of this study were as follows. First, the total score of experimental group's creative thinking activity and all 4 sub-domains was significantly improved than those of comparative group(p<.05). Second, the total score of experimental groups' scientific attitude was significantly improved than that of comparative group(p<.05). Among 7 sub-domains, curiosity, voluntariness, perseverance were significantly developed. Third, total score of experimental groups' leadership was significantly increased than that of comparative group after the STEAM program (p<.05). In the first factor, the score of inner and inter personal characteristics were significantly developed.

이 연구의 목적은 적정기술 주제의 융합인재교육(STEAM) 프로그램을 개발하고 초등학교에 적용하여 효과를 알아보는 것이다. 이 연구를 위해 경기도 소재 초등학교 3학년 85명이 참여하였다. 40명은 실험집단으로, 45명은 비교집단으로 배치하였으며 프로그램 적용 전후에 창의적 사고활동, 과학적 태도, 리더십 검사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 적정기술 주제의 STEAM 프로그램을 적용한 실험집단 학생의 창의적 사고활동 전체 점수와 4개 하위영역 모두에서 비교집단에 비해 유의미하게 향상되었다(p<.05). 둘째, 적정기술 주제의 STEAM 프로그램을 적용한 실험집단 학생의 과학적 태도 전체 점수와 호기심, 자진성, 끈기성 3개 하위영역 점수가 비교집단에 비해 유의미하게 향상되었다(p<.05). 셋째, 적정기술 주제의 STEAM 프로그램을 적용한 실험집단 학생의 리더십 전체 점수와 개인 내 특성, 개인 간 특성 점수가 비교집단에 비해 유의미하게 향상되었다(p<.05). 결론적으로 본 연구에서 개발 적용한 STEAM 프로그램이 초등학생의 창의적 사고활동, 과학적 태도, 리더십을 향상시키는 데 효과적임을 시사한다.
