Education about invention in elementary schools has thus far be conducted mostly through special activities and talented activities rather than through normal curricula. However, with the implementation of the 2007 amended curricula, invention education was reflected as a normal subject unit in the practical subject (technology and home economics) curricula, thereby laying groundwork for invention education being able to be provided through normal subject classes. Thus, at the time when invention education has been reflected as a normal subject unit, it is meaningful to research the effects of elementary school students' experience in invention education on their invention attitudes. This study sought to research the effects of elementary school students' experience or non-experience in invention education on their invention attitudes, targeting those in regional talent private schools who did not take invention talent classes, those who received invention education, and those who did not receive invention education at all. The conclusion of this study is outlined as follows. First, students' experience in invention education proved to be positive in boosting their invention attitude, and continued invention education experience like with students in regional talent invention schools significantly boosted their invention attitudes. Second, considering that students' actual experience in invention education had positive effects on their invention attitudes, the reflection of invention education in the amended curricula was found to be very desirable in improving elementary students' attitudes about invention. Third, according to gender, male students' invention attitude level was found to be higher than that of female students, suggesting that male students more worked on computers, electronic (smart) devices and machines in daily life, leading them to further develop invention attitudes.

The goal of this study is to analyze and understand invention classes, student's experiences, and motivation to suggest a future direction for K-12 Maker Education in Makerspace. We collected qualitative data using open-ended survey from 100 Invention class students. Through data analysis, we could explore perceptions of students about their inventions and meaningful experiences when they used technologies for enhancing their idea and problem finding ability using interpretive approach. We found that the main themes are (1) Perception and motivation to join in the invention class courses, (2) Perception and the normal method of obtaining the idea on invention, (3) Finding new technology for enhancing of knowledge for the invention, and (4) Relevance of the learning experience and invention activities in Makerspace. As a result of this study, we found that the educational programs using technologies should focus on supporting implement of prototypes instead of helping students create their own ideas in Makerspace.

선진국은 왜 선진국일까? 라는 질문에 우리는 흔히 경제력과 국력이라고 답변한다. 그러나 이것은 통상적인 개념이며 선진국이 될 수 있었던 진실한 과정을 알지 못하기 때문이다. 이는 선 진국이 있기까지 선진교육을 받은 선진국민이 있어 가능한 것이다. 이렇듯 선진국민을 위한 선진국가의 기초의 초석을 다지는 곳은 바로 국민을 양성하는 학교이다. 이렇듯 학교는 선진국민의 기본교육을 담당하는 중요한 기관으로 8세에서 19세까지 기본교육을 가르치고 있다. 기본교육을 받는 동안 학생의 모든 생활은 교실이라는 하나의 공간에서 이루어지는데, 이 때 책상과 의자와 같은 기초제품은 학생의 학습능력을 높여주는 동시에 학업성취력 향상에도 도움을 줄 수 있다. 이에 (주)에리트퍼니처는 그 동안 교구, 출입문, 책, 걸상을개발하였던 경험을 토대로 우수한 제품을 제작하여 많은 학교에 공급하고 있다.

수학적인 사고에는 여러 가지 유형이 있는데 그 중에서 가장 기본이 되는 사고유형 중의 하나가 일반화이다. 수학에서 일반화는 지식을 발견 및 발명할 뿐만 아니라 새로운 수학 이론을 확립해 나가는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 일반화를 경험적 일반화와 이론적 일반화로 구분하였고, 일반화에 대한 선행연구를 바탕으로 이 두 유형의 일반화에 대해 고찰한다. 또한, 두 유형의 일반화에 대한 학교수학에서의 다양한 예를 찾아 제시할 뿐 아니라 새로운 예를 제시함으로써 경험적 일반화와 이론적 일반화의 개념이 정립될 수 있도록 한다. 마지막으로 중학교 및 고등학교에서 다루는 한 가지 학습내용을 통해 경험적 일반화와 이론적 일반화에 대한 체계적인 분석을 실시하고 교육적인 시사점을 제시한다.

Despite recent attention to entrepreneurial gift, there has been minimal empirical research regarding characteristics of individual entrepreneurial gift. The aim of this study is to specify and conceptualize characteristics of entrepreneurial gift from systematic empirical investigation. We operationalized the entrepreneurial gift as students participating in 'intellectual property based future creative entrepreneurs' administered by Korean patent office, and compared characteristics of the entrepreneurial gift with those of the gifted students in invention. A total 226 middle and high school students selected as the gifted students in invention, intention scholars, or future creative entrepreneurs by Korean patent office participated in this survey. The survey was designed to measure major adolescent areas such as psychological, intellectual, educational, vocational areas, life purpose and its perception area, innovation-related area, invention-related area, and personal and environmental information. The result showed that entrepreneurial gift has higher score in entrepreneurial potential, in addition to the characteristics that the talented students in invention has. Entrepreneurial gift has similar characteristics in the area of invention-related and environmental conditions, while they showed higher ability in terms of invention-related area and intellectual area. Implications, limitation, and future research direction were discussed.
