Abstract

This study aims to apply a maker education program in an online class for a unit in elementary science entitled "Life of a Plant." Furthermore, it aims to investigate the effect of the program on the interest of students in science and creative problem-solving. The theme of the proposed maker education program is "Making a fairy tale audio book with the theme: the life cycle of a plant." The program consists of activities intended to produce creative audiobooks using concepts learned from the TMI maker education model stage. The result points to the positive effect of maker education on the interest of elementary school students in science and creative problem-solving. Therefore, applying the maker education program to online classes for elementary science is effective in improving the interest of students. In addition, further research is required to effectively apply the maker education program to online classes in science.

본 연구는 초등과학 '식물의 한살이' 단원 온라인수업에 적용할 메이커교육프로그램을 개발하고 그 효과로 과학에 대한 흥미도와 창의적 문제해결력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 개발된 메이커교육프로그램의 주제는 '식물의 한살이를 주제로 동화 오디오북 만들기'이다. 프로그램은 TMI 메이커교육 모형 단계에 따라 학습한 개념을 활용하여 창의적 오디오북을 제작하는 활동으로 구성하였다. 연구결과, 초등과학 '식물의 한살이' 단원 온라인수업에 메이커교육프로그램은 초등학생의 과학에 대한 흥미도와 창의적 문제해결력에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서 초등과학 온라인수업에 메이커교육의 적용은 학생들의 과학에 대한 흥미도와 창의적 문제해결력 향상에 효과적이다. 그리고 초등과학 온라인 수업에 메이커교육을 활발하게 적용할 수 있는 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
