Abstract

Recently, many university classes have been changing from instructor-centered classes to learner-centered classes, and universities are trying to establish a new direction for university education, especially to foster talented people suitable for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. To this end, universities are presenting various competencies necessary for students and focusing on research on efficient education plans for each competency. Among them, creativity is considered the most important competency that students should obtain in universities. Developing a creative problem-solving-based subject where various majors gather to produce results while conducting creative team activities away from desk classes is considered a meaningful subject to cultivate capacities suitable for the requirements of the times. Therefore, this study purpose to develop creative problem-solving-based subjects and analyze the results of class progress. This creative problem-solving-based class is an Action Learning class for step-by-step idea development, which starts with a theoretical lecture for creative idea development and then consists of five stages of Action Learning. The tasks of action learning used in this class consisted of ceramic expression to increase the intimacy of the formed group and the group's collective expression, ideas in life to combine and compress individual ideas into one, environmental improvement programs around schools, and finally UCC on various topics. In the theoretical lecture conducted throughout the class, a class was conducted on Scientific Thinking for creative problem solving, and then a group-type action learning class was conducted sequentially. This Action Learnin process gradually increased the difficulty level and led to in-depth learning by increasing the level of difficulty step by step.

최근 많은 대학 수업이 교수자 중심의 수업에서 학습자 중심의 수업으로 변해가고 있고, 특히 4차 산업혁명시대에 적합한 인재를 양성하기 위해 대학은 대학 교육의 방향성을 새로 정립시키고자 노력하고 있다. 이를 위해 대학에서는 학생들에게 필요한 다양한 역량을 제시하고 각 역량별 효율적인 교육 방안에 대한 연구에 집중하고 있다. 그 가운데 창의력은 대학에서 학생들이 지녀야 할 무엇보다 중요한 역량으로 꼽힌다. 탁상적인 수업에서 벗어나 다양한 전공자들이 모여서 창의적인 팀 활동을 진행하면서 결과 도출을 하는 창의적 문제해결 기반 교과목을 개발하는 것은시대적 요구에 적합한 인재를 양성할 수 있는 유의미한 교과라고 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구는 창의적 문제해결 기반교과목을 개발하고 수업 진행 결과를 분석하는데 있다. 본 창의력 문제해결 기반 수업은 단계별 아이디어 개발을 위한 Action Learnin 수업으로 진행되는데, 창의력 아이디어 개발을 위한 이론강의를 시작으로 하여 이후에 Action Learnin 5단계로 구성된다. 본 수업에 활용된 액션 러닝의 과제는 형성된 그룹의 친밀도를 높이고, 그룹의 집단표현력을 높이기 위해 세라믹으로 표현하기와 공익광고 포스터 만들기, 개인의 아이디어를 병합하여 하나로 압축하는 능력을 기르기 위한 생활 속의 아이디어, 학교에 대한 관심도를 높이거나 지역사회를 이해하기 위한 학교 주변의 환경개선 프로그램, 마지막으로 다양한 주제로 UCC 만들기 등으로 구성되었다. 수업 전반에 실시되는 이론강의에서는 창의적인 문제해결을 위한 과학적 사고 (Scientific Thinking)에 대해 수업을 진행하였고, 이후에 순차적으로 설정된 그룹형 action learning 수업을 실시하였다. 본 Action Learnin 과정은, 개인 및 그룹형 Action Learnin을 시작으로 사회 연계형 Action Learnin으로 넓혀지면서 단계별로 점차 난이도를 높혀가며 심화학습이 되도록 유도하였다. 또한, 본 수업을 진행하면서 다각적인 창의력 수업을 최적화하였고, 창의적 문제해결 형 대학 강의의 다양한 활용예시를 소개함으로써 향후 본 교과목 학습활동을 활성화하는 데 도움을 주었다.
