4차 산업혁명의 특징 중 하나는 생산과 소비의 결합이다. 이제는 소비자가 직접 구매할 물건의 생산에 관여하고, 직접 필요한 물건을 생산한다. 이는 다양한 제작도구들이 보편화되면서 가능해졌다. 이런 흐름으로 세계적으로 메이커 운동, 메이커 교육이 주목받고 있다. 메이커들은 실생활의 문제를 해결하기 위해 창의적인 문제해결 방법을 활용하여 무언가를 만들고 공유한다. 이런 공유문화는 메이커들의 축제인 메이커 페어에서 쉽게 확인할 수 있다. 창의적인 메이커를 교육을 통해 길러내야 될 필요성을 공감하고 있으며, 메이커 교육을 학교 현장에 적용하기 위한 방법으로는 디자인 사고가 있다. 디자인 사고 프로세스는 실제 제품을 사용할 소비자에게 공감하여 이해한 뒤, 다양한 대안을 찾는 확산적 사고, 주어진 상황에서 최선의 방법을 찾는 수렴적 사고의 반복을 통해 결과물을 도출하는 창의적 문제해결 방법이다. 현재 온라인과 오프라인 상에서 다양한 메이커 교육이 이뤄지고 있다. 이를 학교에 도입하여 학생들을 가르치기 위해서는 교사의 역량이 중요하다. 아무리 좋은 교육이라도 교사들이 모른다면 학생들을 가르칠 수 없기 때문에 메이커 교육을 학교 현장에 투입하기 위해서는 메이커 교육을 위한 교사 연수 프로그램 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 디자인 사고 기반 메이커교육을 위한 초등교사 연수프로그램을 개발하고자 한다.

This is a case study of an extra-curricular program that designed and implemented maker education based on design thinking to foster a Christian worldview. The program was designed at K university in the course of 10 sessions as following stages; tinkering, providing a special lecture for motivation, finding issues, empathizing, making, sharing and reflecting. A total of 15 students in 5 teams participated in the program, progressed through each stage in the process of solving the problems they found around them so that their neighbors and the creative world could become better. As a result of operating this program, the participants became concerned about their neighbors and community and reflected on the change of perspective of the world from a Christian worldview. As a suggestion for follow-up research and projects, to develop a model of maker education based on design thinking for cultivating a Christian view of the world is proposed in order to support to easy design and management of the program even if there is a lack of professional related knowledge and experience. In addition, it is needed to develop a manual and guide book including a facilitator's role and an assessment tool like a rubric that can give feedback on the performance of the program and make improvement.

The purpose of this study was to suggest valuable maker education programs by implementing and evaluating a Home Economics(HE) maker education program developed based on the content of "Hanbok and Creative Clothing" for high school students. The results of this study are as follows. First, the HE maker education model for high school students was designed and developed. The HE maker education model was developed by integrating and modifying the TMSI model of the maker education model and Laster's HE practical action teaching model. The HE maker education model consisted of 4 steps: tinkering(T: 4-hour class), practical reasoning(P: 3-hour class), making together(M: 4-hour class), and sharing and spreading(S: 1-hour class) with a total of 12-hour lesson plans. The theme of the developed HE maker program is 'Practice and spread of creative traditional culture of life (Hanbok)'. Second, the results of online survey of 240 high school students who participated in this maker class showed that HE maker class had positive effects in the order of experiential(4.26), cognitive(4.22), emotional(4.18), social(4.18), and practical(4.10). It is expected that the findings of this study will contribute to diversifying the curriculum of Home Economics, thereby improving the quality of Home Economics Education.
