국가적 차원에서 저소득 청소년을 위한 교육프로그램이 많은 아동보호센터 및 지역센터를 중심으로 시행되고 있지만 그 취지와 목적에 부합하는 방과 후 교육이 제공되고 있는지 그 효과성에 대해서는 주목하지 않아왔다. 본 연구는 저소득 청소년을 위한 방과 후 교육의 질 관리에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있는 시점에서 영재교육의 일환으로 여겨져 왔던 창의성 교육을 조명하였다. 저소득층 청소년의 창의력 인성을 양성하기 위한 교육용 게임 프로그래밍 수업의 효과성에 대해 조사하였다. A시 5곳의 아동보호시설에서 운영되고 있는 게임프로그래밍 수업에 참여하고 있는 학생과 참여하지 않는 학생을 대상으로 창의적 인성검사를 실시하여 비교 분석하였다. 창의적 인성검사는 크게 자기확신(Self Confidence), 호기심(Curiosity), 인내(Patience), 개방성(Openess), 모험심(Adventure)으로 구분하여 t검증을 통해 유의한가를 분석하였다. 다섯 가지 영역의 평균은 실험집단이 높았으나, 이 중 '인내' 영역이 두드러진 차이를 보였고, 이로 인해 게임프로그래밍 수업을 받은 학생들이 수업을 받지 않은 학생들에 비해 과제 수행에 있어 인내와 끈기를 가지고 도전하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 자기 확신, 호기심, 개방성, 모험심 네 가지 영역에 대해서는 두드러지는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이에 대한 개선책으로 학생들에게 이 네 가지 영역을 균형적으로 길러주기 위하여 체계적으로 강사진의 교수법 연수, 교육과정의 개선, 학생 동기 유발, 학생 독려 및 관리 등 다양한 방법을 통해 수업의 질을 개선시켜 학생들의 창의적 인성 양성에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

정보화시대에 요구하는 인재는 문제를 인식하고 이런 문제를 풀기 위해 다양한 전문가들과 함께 창의적인 사고를 통해 해결책을 제시하는 인물이다. 정보영재교육의 목표 역시 창의적 인재를 기르는 데 있으나, 프로그래밍과 알고리즘 교육은 특정 프로그래밍 언어의 사용법이나 문법 위주의 교육, 정렬 및 탐색과 같은 알고리즘 그 자체에 치중함으로서 이러한 목표에 도달하고 있지 못하다는 지적이 많다. 이에 본 논문에서는 창의적인 알고리즘을 설계하고 개발하는데 필요한 사고력, 즉 사고 과정에 대해 안내하고 생각하는 알고리즘적 사고력을 기르기 위한 방안으로 실생활 주제의 이야기 쓰기를 활용하는 교수 학습 프로그램을 제안하였다. 반성적 사고와 창의성을 기르는 데 효과적인 것으로 알려진 이야기 쓰기 활동에서 출발하여 사건 요소 추출과 시간적 질서 분석하기, 순서도로 알고리즘 표현하기, 동료 학습자와 토의하기 등의 과정을 통해 알고리즘적 사고력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop an evolutionary STEAM education program based on the brain and to analyze its effects on scientific interest and scientific creativity of elementary school students. Four different topics based on four scientific fields (Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science) were derived from the science textbook under the 2015 revised curriculum to build a brain-based evolutionary STEAM education program. The research subjects were 90 fourth graders of S-elementary school located in Gyeonggi Province, Korea and they were divided into an experimental group of 45 students and a comparative group of 45 students. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, according to the independent samples t-test of scientific interest, no statistically significant difference were found between the two groups, but the brain-based evolutionary STEAM education had meaningful effect on improving 'interest in scientific learning' and 'anxiety about scientific learning'. Second, according to the paired samples t-test of scientific interest, the experimental group had significantly improved 'interest in science' but on the other hand, there was no effect on the comparative group. Third, scientific creativity and originality of the experimental group were significantly higher after the class than that of the comparative group. Fourth, although there were some significant differences between the two groups in scientific creativity after the class, both groups had improved scientific creativity between the results of pre and post test. Based on these results, we discuss implications for science education and STEAM education research.

The purpose of this study was to design a teaching and learning method conductive to the development of creative thinking skills and investigate its effects. It has been developed integrated mind map with feature of visualizing the divergent thinking to the aspects of Science (S), Technology (T) & Engineering (E), Arts (A), Mathematics (M). Integrated mind map can be divided into four types of STEAM type, STEA type, STEM type, STE type depending on the category of key words in the first branch. And Integrated mind map can be divided into three levels of guided, intermediate, open depending on the teacher's guide degree. And also integrated mind map activities were carried out in the form of group, class share as well as individual. This study was implemented during a semester and students in experiment group experienced individual-integrated mind map activity 10 times, group-integrated mind map activity 10 times, class share-integrated mind map activity 3 times. The results indicated that the experimental group presented statistically meaningful improvement in creative thinking skills (p<.05). And there was a statistically meaningful improvement in fluency, flexibility, originality as a sub-category of creative thinking skills(p <.05). Also creative thinking skills are not affected by the level of cognitive, academic performance, gender (p<.05). In conclusion, it was found that 'integrated mind map activity' improved student's creative thinking skills. There was no interaction effect about creative thinking skills between the teaching strategy and cognitive level, achivement, gender of those students.

This research aims is to confirm the influence of a teacher's teaching style and teaching career on instructional analysis. Through this, the differences in the relevant elements' view points on a class and those in teachers' analysis view points on class criticism and instructional analysis at the education field can be investigated. For this study, the teaching styles of 198 elementary school teachers were categorized, their teaching careers were checked as teaching career and set them as covariate, and the differences in the view points on the analysis of the class climates were verified depending on each teaching style. As the research result, meaningful differences were found in four areas of the elements of class climates analysis, that is, creativity, vitality, precision, and gentleness. In the analysis of the class climates, the teachers with a professional style among the teaching styles gave the highest grades to creativity in the same class, those with a facilitating style to vitality, those with a role model style to precision, and those with a facilitating and role model style to gentleness. On the other hand, those with an authoritative and a delegating style were proved to give the lowest grades in general class climates. It means that teachers with different teaching styles have different viewpoints when analyzing a class, and those with a professional, a role model and a facilitating style have a relatively stronger intention to analyze a class through reflective introspection and permissive recognition.

The purpose of this study was to find out whether scientifically creative students were selected as science-gifted class students and whether their creativity improved after class for the science-gifted students by comparing the science gifted class students to general class students in the first grade of high school. This was achieved by comparing science-gifted class students with general ones on creative personality and creative thinking ability. For this study, science-gifted class students and general class students were surveyed using Khatena-Torrance creative perception inventory and Torrance test of creative thinking with words of form A, before and after class for the science-gifted group. The results showed that science-gifted class students scored significantly higher than general class students on the creative personality. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in their creative thinking ability. Also, in this study, the sub-factors of creative personality and those of creative thinking ability showed very low levels of correlation, which implies that the two variables are highly independent. In addition, science-gifted class students did not show significant improvement in their scores on the creative personality and the creative thinking ability after class. Therefore, further research and development on the selection of science-gifted students and teaching-learning methods which can improve the creativity of these students are needed.
