Abstract

The STEAM education was applied to science high school students, and changes in perceptions of students and teachers were investigated after class treatment. By the results of the student's perception survey, very positive results were found in increasing problem-solving capabilities, educational satisfaction, etc. More than 98% of students said they would continue to participate in STEAM education classes. Meanwhile, the lack of time for class activities put a burden on students to complete the problems during class. Especially nanoscience content and activities were properly organized in consideration of the level of cognitive development of the students. In addition, as a result of a survey of teachers' perceptions for students, more than 80.0% of teachers responded very positively in 'self-directed learning ability' and 'problem-solving capability', etc.

창의·융합적 사고력과 문제해결력을 함양시키기 위해, 창의·융합교육을 과학고 학생들에게 처치하였으며, 수업처치 후 학생과 교사들의 인식변화를 조사하였다. 학생들의 인식조사 결과, 창의적 문제해결력 신장, 교육 만족도, 등 융합수업에 대한 학생들의 인식이 매우 긍정적으로 나타났으며, 98% 이상의 학생들이 앞으로도 융합교육 수업에 계속해서 참여하겠다고 응답하였다. 한편, 수업활동 시간 부족으로 문제해결 미완성이 학생들에게 부담으로 작용하였으며, 한 학기당 20~30% 이내에서 이 프로그램이 운용되길 바라고 있었다. 특히 융합교육의 효과를 높이기 위해, 나노과학의 내용 및 교수-학습 활동을 과학고 학생들의 인지발달 수준을 고려하여 알맞게 구성하였다. 또한, 학생들에 대한 교사들의 인식 조사 결과, '자기주도적 학습능력', '문제해결 능력', 등에서 80.0% 이상의 교사들이 매우 긍정적으로 응답하였다.
