초록

본 연구는 공학 설계에 기반을 둔 연구 프로그램, 팀 프로젝트 활동 등의 통합적 STEM 연구 활동이 영재 학생들의 창의적 공학문제해결 성향과 공학에 대한 태도에 미치는 효과를 알아본 것이다. 이를 위해 Kang & Nam (2016)이 개발한 창의적 공학문제해결 성향 검사 도구와 Moon (2009)이 사용한 공학에 대한 태도 검사 도구를 본 연구 상황에 맞게 수정하여 통합적 STEM 활동의 사전과 사후에 측정 하였고, 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 영재 학생들의 공학 설계에 기반한 통합적 STEM 연구 활동은 창의적 공학문제해결 성향 변화과 공학에 대한 태도 변화에 긍정적 효과를 나타냈다. 창의적 공학문제해결 성향 검사지는 동기, 공학 설계, 공학적 사고 습관, 공학과 공학자, 소통 및 협업 능력 5요인으로 구성되어 있는데 모든 요인에서 유의미한 결과가 나타났다(p<.05). 창의적 공학문제해결 성향은 대부분의 요인에서 진로 희망 직업 계열과 성별 차이에 따른 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 하지만 '공학 설계' 요인에서는 남학생보다 여학생에게 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 공학에 대한 태도 검사지는 공학에 대한 흥미, 공학의 난이도, 공학의 영향, 공학과 관련된 학교 교육과정, 공학과 직업에 대한 인식을 알아보는 문항으로 구성되어 있는데 모든 요인에서 유의미한 결과가 나타났지만(p<.05), 진로 희망 직업 계열과 성별 차이에 따른 유의미한 차이는 없었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how engineering design-based STEM research experience affects gifted students' creative engineering problem-solving propensity and attitude toward engineering. The students' creative engineering problem-solving propensity and attitude toward engineering were measured before and after the STEM research experience. The pre-/post-tests results were analyzed by paired t-test with the significance level of p <.05. The conclusions of the study are as follows: First, the engineering design based STEM research experience had a positive effect on the students' creative engineering problem-solving propensity. Over all, the average score of the creative engineering problem-solving propensity increased significantly (p <.05) after the STEM research experience. Second, the average score of gifted-students' attitude toward engineering had increased significantly after the integrated STEM research activities (p <.05). In addition, we analyzed the difference between pre-post results of both instruments based on the gifted students' desired career paths (natural science and engineering) and gender. The result shows that the students' career paths or gender did not affect the results in most of the sub-categories in both instruments. However, the STEM research experience had more positive effect on the female students than male students in term of their 'engineering design ability', which is one of the sub-categories of the creative engineering problem-solving propensity instrument.
