ABEEK's professional liberal arts education reflecting critical thinking, has been well received by professors and students in the engineering discipline. Also, the demand for further utilization of critical thinking within the engineering curriculum is increasing. To meet such demand, there is a need for experts in the area of critical thinking education and engineering education to come together and search for the most effective method in using critical thinking in engineering design education courses. In this paper, we were able to confirm, through specific application cases, that the problem-solving process of critical thinking can be effectively transferred to an engineering design process, and the elements and criteria of critical thinking can be used as a successful design tool. Also, we explore the possibility of further improving engineering education on the basis of critical thinking.

The aim of this paper is to explore various ways to utilize critical thinking in engineering education. To this end, this paper, in the light of the relationship between critical thinking and the program learning performance of ABEEK, reviews engineering design education, engineering ethics education, and engineering communication education, which are major areas where critical thinking can be utilized in engineering education. As a result, it was confirmed that critical thinking skills, especially the elements and criteria of critical thinking, can contribute to the creative problem-solving process in engineering design education, the rational decision-making process in engineering ethics education, and the effective communication process in engineering communication education.

Critical thinking ability based on a sound sense of logic is essential for analyzing a given engineering design problem and assessing it to arrive at the most plausible conclusion. Engineering design classes require students to organize their engineering design experiences through reports, and engineering design reports require detailed specifications of their tasks at each stage. Given the nature of these curriculums, design classes provide writing courses focusing on science and engineering within specialized fields, but there still lies many obstacles for communication education that embraces both general education and major subjects. This study proposes a specified step-by-step writing model for engineering design reports that encompasses critical thinking for the objective of systemizing design experiences from engineering design report writing. For the purpose of the study, the concepts and relationship between critical thinking and creative problem solving have been examined, followed by a proposal of application methods for critical thinking criteria and elements from a case example on engineering design. Furthermore, the study proposes a critical thinking-based assessment rubric for logical decision making at each stage of engineering design as well as a resulting model for engineering design report writing.

The purpose of this study was to analyze two subject competencies (practical problem-solving capability and independent life capability) reflected in the activity tasks included in the 'home life and safety' area of 12 middle school technology-home economics textbooks in accordance with the 2015 revised curriculum. The analysis criteria were sub-elements of two subject competencies. Seven sub-elements were derived from each competency. Frequency analysis was performed to determine how often the sub-elements were reflected in the activity tasks. The results were as follows. First, with regard to the sub-elements of 'practical problem-solving capability', 'value judgment' was reflected most frequently in the activity tasks followed by 'exemplification of solution', 'logical thinking', 'critical thinking', 'decision-making', 'practical reasoning', and 'evaluation of solutions'. Secondly, the sub-elements of 'independent life capability' were unevenly distributed in the activity tasks. The 'capability to perform conscious living' was reflected most frequently followed by 'development and self-identity', 'time, money, and leisure management', and 'reasonable consumption and resource utilization'. For teachers wanting to teach activity-oriented classes and student participatory classes, the results pinpoint the materials necessary to develop learners' subject competencies by using textbooks from different publishing companies.

본고는 미술영재성 판별에 따른 인지적 능력과 관련하여 문헌연구와 선행연구들을 바탕으로 미술영재성과 인지능력과의 관계를 고찰함으로써 초등학교 아동의 미술영재성 판별에 따른 인지능력검사모형을 구안하고자 하는 데 있다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 먼저, 미술영재성과 인지능력의 관계를 고찰하여 미술영재성의 구성요인으로서 인지능력의 타당성을 규정한 다음, 앞선 문헌연구를 통해 초등학교 아동의 미술영재성 판별에 따른 인지능력검사모형을 구안하였다. 그리고 구안된 검사모형의 타당성과 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 일반학급 아동집단과 미술영재 아동집단을 대상으로 검사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 초등학교 아동의 미술영재성 판별에 따른 인지능력의 구성요인으로서 시각적 사고력과 공간 지각력, 비판적 사고력이 논리적, 경험적으로 타당성이 있다고 검증되었다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 앞으로 이루어질 초등학교 아동의 미술영재성 판별에 대한 다양한 모색의 가능성과 미술영재교육 프로그램의 개발에 새로운 접근을 제공해줄 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 시민성 교육의 일환으로서 비판적 리터러시 역량을 향상시킬 수 있는 주생활 교육과정을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 비판적 리터러시 관점에서 현행 2015 개정 가정과 교육과정 주생활 영역의 내용 체계와 성취기준 및 교과서를 분석하였고, Laster(1986)의 비판과학 관점의 교육과정 개발 과정을 적용, 미국 위스콘신 주의 식생활 교사용 지도서 "A Teacher's guide : Family, Food and Society"(Staaland & Storm, 1996)을 참고하여 주생활 교수·학습지도안을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교과 목표 및 주생활 영역 성취기준, 학습요소, 평가방법에서는 비판적 리터러시 내용이 포함될 수 있는 실천적 문제해결 교육과정으로 구성되어 있으나, 교수학습방법에서는 실천적 추론과 비판적 사고 기술이 포함되어 있지 않았다. 또한, 3개의 교과서 주생활 영역의 텍스트를 분석한 결과, 대부분 현재 문화에 적응, 대처하는 내용으로 기술되었고 비판적 해석과 사회행동에까지 이를 수 있는 문제 제기나 사회적 이슈가 거의 없었다. 둘째, 현행 교육과정과 교과서를 분석한 결과를 바탕으로 주생활 교육과정을 개발한 결과, 주생활의 지속적인 관심사, 가치를 둔 목표, 학습내용선정 및 조직, 그리고 총 7개 모듈로 된 13차시 교수·학습지도안과 읽기 자료, 학습지, 영상자료 등 총 학습자료 26개를 개발하였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로, 차기교육과정과 교과서에서 비판적 리터러시를 활용할 수 있는 주생활 관련 사회적 이슈와 다양한 계층의 주생활 모습을 다루어야 하며, 학생들이 실천적 추론과 비판적 사고 등의 모범이 되는 교사를 지원하는 교사공동체 및 연수가 운영되어야 할 것이다.

Effective higher educational management in undergraduate nursing programs is an important issue from the viewpoint of stakeholders. This qualitative research aimed to examine the characteristics of nursing students and curriculum development of undergraduate nursing education from the opinions of Boromarajonani College of Nursing Saraburi, Thailand stakeholders. The population included 4 groups: 1) the alumni who have graduated within the past 5 years and currently work in primary, secondary, and tertiary care units, 2) the supervisors and colleagues of the alumni, 3) nursing lecturers, and 4) the current nursing students. The respondents who are the alumni, nursing lecturers, and current nursing student were selected using a purposive sampling, for the supervisors and colleagues were selected using snowball techniques. Semi-structured interview questions were used for data collection. Group discussions were conducted until saturation on 55 key informants. The qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. Results showed the viewpoints of stakeholders on the characteristics of future nurse graduates were comprised of four elements: knowledge that meets standards; essential skills for self-development and lifelong learning process; good morals and professional ethics in providing nursing care; and nurse competencies in teamwork, communication, language, research, management, IT, life skills, and global literacy. The viewpoints on the development of the nursing curriculum focus on four elements: the learner, teaching and learning, course content, and instructor tasks. For learners, the admission criteria should include a minimum not only of knowledge, but also positive attitude, science, and art skills, since the nursing profession is both a science and the art of caring. Teaching and learning elements should be authentic, including exposure to real situations, an integrated network, and activities that improve nursing care. Course content was comprised of an updated curriculum, humanized nursing care, student center, theory and practice with moral integration, case-based study, critical thinking, multidisciplinary work, and love for the nursing profession. Instructor tasks are to elicit student ideas, provide opportunities to learn, support infrastructure, support technology use, and extra-curricular activities to develop the competencies of nursing students. Recommendations were that the curriculum administration should review the selection process of student candidates and instructional management to achieve expected outcomes of nursing characteristics in the future. The nurse lecturer should provide authentic and integrated instruction, decrease lecturing, cultivate a lifelong learning process, and sustain the nursing characteristics.
