Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of STEAM-based research and education (STEAM R&E) projects for secondary school students. From 2012 to 2015, 400 STEAM based Research and Education (R&E) projects have been conducted, and they were selected for this study. The major findings are as follows: First, Science (S) and Mathematics (M) were identified at a high rate in STEAM-based Research and Education (R&E) projects, and Art (A) was identified with the lowest rate. Second, 'STEM' type was identified at the highest rate among STEAM-integrated types. And there were not any trends as the years go by, but STEAM-integrated types, where three or more STEAM elements were integrated, were identified at an increasing rate. It means that students use STEAM elements in various ways gradually. Accordingly, the results suggest: The information material that guide how to utilize STEAM factors diversely should be provided for project participants to improve their creativity and problem-solving abilities.

본 연구는 2012년부터 2015년도 사이에 진행된 고등학생 STEAM 기반 학생 연구과제에 대해 STEAM 요소 분석을 실시하여 STEAM 요소의 융합 양상 및 몇 가지 의미 있는 사례들에 대한 고찰을 실시하였다. 이 연구를 위해 4년 동안 진행된 400개 STEAM 기반 학생 연구과제들이 연구대상으로 선정되었다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, STEAM 기반 학생 연구과제들을 진행하면서 STEAM 요소들 중 과학(S) 요소와 수학(M) 요소가 가장 많이 활용되었으며, 예술(A) 요소가 상대적으로 가장 적게 활용되었음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, STEAM 융합 유형들 중 STEM 유형이 가장 많이 나타난 것으로 확인되었다. 연도별로 봤을 때, 특별한 경향을 보이지는 않으나, 연도가 지날수록 학생들이 STEAM 요소들을 더욱 다양한 방식으로 활용하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들을 종합한 결과, 학생들의 창의성을 자극하고, STEAM 요소들을 다양하게 활용하도록 도울 수 있는 안내와 지도 방안의 마련이 필요하다.
