Abstract

In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, high technology is causing many changes in modern society and economy. Among them, changes in industries and jobs require new competencies of future human resources. As an educational alternative to these changes, maker education and design thinking methods are spreading around the world, and it is necessary to actively apply such education in university curriculum. Therefore, this study examines the effects of the maker education using the design thinking method on the learners' competencies required as future human resources and, relationship between the development of university students' entrepreneurial competencies and learners' competencies. And the purpose of this study is to contribute to the vitalization of entrepreneurship education for university students by suggesting an educational model. For this purpose, this study investigated the prior research on maker education/environment and design thinking methods to examine concepts and characteristics, and analyzed the influences between maker education/environment and design thinking methods and the development of learners' personal, social and technological capabilities. In addition, this study analyzed the relationship between learners' developed capabilities and university students' entrepreneurial capabilities, and based on the results, suggested directions and conceptual models for education that combine maker education/environment and design thinking methods. In conclusion, maker education/environment and design thinking methods in university education have a positive effect on the cognitive, social, and technological development of learners, and this has a significant relationship with the factors of personal, social, and technological dimensions of university students' entrepreneurial competency. It is analyzed that it has a positive effect on the promotion of entrepreneurship activities of university students. Therefore, it is judged that university's interest and support should be given to the vitalization of maker education using the design thinking method for university student entrepreneurship education and future human resources nurturing.

4차 산업혁명시대 신기술들은 현대 사회와 경제에 많은 변화를 야기하고 있으며 그 중 산업과 일자리의 변화는 미래 인재들에게 새로운 역량을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 변화와 요구에 대한 교육적 대안으로 메이커 교육과 디자인사고 방법이 세계적으로 확산되고 있으며 대학교육에서도 이러한 교육의 적극적 연구와 운영에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 이에 창의 교육 철학이자 환경으로서의 메이커 교육·환경과 혁신 교육 방법론으로서의 디자인 사고 방법의 특성 분석과 국내 대학생 역량과의 영향관계 파악을 토대로, 두 영역의 특징과 요소들을 상호 보완적으로 접목한 교육 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 통하여 미래 산업의 발전과 일자리 창출에 주도적으로 대응할 수 있는 대학생 미래 역량 강화 교육의 활성화에 기여하고자 한다. 이를 위해 메이커 교육·환경과 디자인 사고 방법에 관한 선행 연구들을 조사하여 그 개념과 특징을 살펴보고, 메이커 교육·환경과 디자인사고 방법을 통하여 개발되는 학습자의 개인적, 사회적, 산업적 차원의 역량에 관하여 분석하였다. 그리고 각각의 교육을 통하여 개발되는 학습자의 역량과 대학생의 창업 역량 간에 영향관계를 분석하고 그 결과를 토대로 메이커 교육·환경과 디자인 사고 방법을 접목한 교육의 방향과 개념모델을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 대학 과정에서 메이커 교육·환경과 디자인 사고 방법을 활용한 교육은 학습자의 인지적, 상호적, 기술적 역량 개발에 긍정적 영향을 미치고, 이러한 역량들은 대학생의 개인적, 사회적, 산업적 차원의 창업 역량 및 그 하위 요소들과 유의미한 관계를 가지고 대학생들의 창업 활동 촉진에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 디자인 사고 방법을 활용한 메이커 교육·환경은 각각의 교육적 특성들과 효과들이 상호 보완적으로 작동하여 대학생의 통합적 역량 개발을 통한 미래 인재 역량 개발과 창업 역량 개발을 위한 대학 교육 발전을 촉진할 것으로 기대한다. 그리고 본 연구에서 제안한 디자인 사고 방법을 활용한 메이커 교육·환경의 설계 방향과 개념 모델은 대학생의 창의혁신 교육 프로그램의 개발과 운영에 관한 다양한 연구의 기초 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
