The information and knowledge of modern society in the 2lst century is changing rapidly. Based on this social change, the ministry of education introduced STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Music) in 2011 to foster creative convergence talents. Therefore, this study is based on the PBL model that learners participate in the class voluntarily to develop appropriate talents in the 21st century. The combined subjects were English, which is the world's official language, and Science, which is found in almost all the fields with the development of the 4th industrial revolution. As a result, learners could define the problems and solutions during the English class and take part in the group activity actively to obtain the problems and solutions of environmental pollution during the Science class. Through this, learners answered that they had a great understanding of learning (86%), high motivation for learning (100%), improved self-confidence (100%), and improved collaboration and creativity (100%). Unfortunately, this study does not progress actively due to the entrance exams, which still require accurate answers rather than the necessity and effectiveness of convergence education. To foster talents suitable for the present age, more active research should be applied to a range of educational sites.

Using TIMSS survey data, we analyzed whether there were any significant changes in the learning environment of middle school science classes over the last 10 years. Our study selected questions from teachers and school principals' questionnaires and divided them by category: science class, teacher professional development, and school environment. The science class components were subdivided into three categories: science learning activities, evaluation, and homework. Within teacher professional development, the sub-categories included teacher training, collaboration to improve teaching, and teacher evaluation. School environment subdivided into two aspects, these being school characteristics and school system. Our research confirmed that there has been a positive change overall in learning environments. However, most classes are teacher-conducted and also teacher-oriented; the proportion of science investigation activities has declined compared against the prior ten years. Our study show that students do not engage in a range of inquiry-related activities. The questions on tests and examinations involve mostly knowledge application and understanding, although recent methods of evaluation show improvement. As for the science teachers, they participate in many professional development programs but focus on science content, science curriculum, and pedagogy. In addition, teachers do not have many opportunities to participate in the training to integrate information technology into science, science assessment, or improving students' critical thinking or inquiry skills. The teachers are satisfied with their profession, and the shortage of science resources does not seem to affect instruction.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of and suggest future improvement practices for cultural heritage education in primary school. We analyzed a primary school textbook for each of five subjects (Korean, social studies, music, art, physical education), surveyed ten teachers with cultural heritage education experience, and analyzed the results. Based on the results, we made the following five suggestions: First, the goal of cultural heritage education should be expanded to foster citizenship. Second, in cultural heritage education, it is necessary to discuss what should be included in the educational content and to organize the content systematically in connection with the student environment, local community environment, and subject content. Third, cultural heritage education should be linked with sustainable development so that cultural heritage can be passed on from the present generation to future generations. Cultural heritage has characteristics, such as universal values of humanity, that transcend national boundaries, regional identities, dialogue and understanding between civilizations, and sources of creativity, and thus serves as the foundation for sustainable development. Fourth, for the effective implementation of cultural heritage education in schools, it is necessary to develop step-by-step teacher training programs. The success or failure of cultural heritage education in schools depends on teacher training. Fifth, the degree to which cultural heritage education is integrated into the curriculum should be strengthened, allowing learners to be educated so that they can cultivate knowledge and critical thinking about cultural heritage, enjoy and protect it, and connect with a sustainable society.

사회변혁 과정에서 경쟁우위 확보는 그 시대를 대표하는 기술의 습득과 활용의 정도에 따라 좌우된다. 우리나라의 경우 정보혁명 과정에서 IT기술의 습득과 활용을 위하여 적극적인 노력을 기울인 결과 IT강국이라는 현재의 위치를 확보할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나, 최근들어 IT산업이 국가의 경제발전을 지속적으로 선도하여 나가기 위해서는 IT 산업내의 구조적 취약점을 해결해야 한다는 지적과 함께 참여정부에서 시작된 IT39 중심의 산업정책에 대한 비판도 제기되고 있다. 이에 따라 사회변화의 방향을 가늠해 보고 우리 IT산업이 직면한 문제 분석과 이를 토대로 한 새로운 IT R&D 방향을 모색할 필요가 있다. 미래사회 변화의 큰 특징은 융합으로 대변된다. 정보처리 기술과 통신기술의 융합으로 시작된 이 흐름은 최근 통방융합이라는 차원을 넘어 이종기술간 및 이종산업간 융합이라는 개념으로 확장 진화되고 있다. 또한, 사회변혁의 패러다임도 지식기반사회에서 융합시대로 급격히 전환되고 있다. 융합이라는 패러다임 변혁의 물결에 편승하기 위해서는 IT기술이 융합시대에서 어떠한 역할을 하고, 어떻게 진화해 갈 것인지를 규명하는 작업이 필요하다. IT기술은 그동안의 혁신적 발전을 기반으로 여타 기술 및 산업 발전을 견인하는 원천기술로 작용할 것이 확실시 된다. 따라서, 융합시대에서 IT기술은 기존의 독자적 산업영역에 국한되지 않고 새로운 기술과 산업으로 그 응용범위가 대폭 확장됨으로써 기존에 IT가 지녔던 기술적, 산업적 중요 성과는 비교할 수 없을 정도의 의미를 지니게 될 것이다. 융합시대에 대응하여 IT R&D 방향을 검토하는 전략적 의미도 여기에서 찾을 수 있게 된다. 융합시대에서 IT R&D는 IT가 여타 기술 및 산업발전을 위한 원천기술화를 비롯하여 (1) 유비쿼터스 인프라, (2) 디지털 인텔리전스, (3) 융합부품, (4) 메가 컨버전스 등과 같은 4대 동력에 집중할 필요가 있다. IT의 원천기술화 및 4대 동력에의 집중이야말로 융합시대를 슬기롭게 열어가는 '전략적 창(strategic window)‘이 될 것이다.

This study aims to inspect the effect of the yungbokhap education on the development of students' mathematical competence by analyzing students' mathematical discourse in math-based yungbokhap instruction designed by Moon(2014). Specifically, this research focused on the analysis of students' participation structure. The reuslts shows that the students' competence for mathematical communication and inquiry has been improved through the instruction. In particular, the students were increasingly engaged with consensual talk. Also, in the beginning stage, the students tended to unconditionally criticize for others' mathematical opinion. Through the class participation, they gradually developed the competence to express their mathematical ideas to their peers with reasonable mathematical bases. These results suggests that the mathematics-based yungbokhap instruction has positively contributed to the improvement of students' mathematical competence. Based on the results, this paper presented implications for mathematics-based yungbokhap instrcution.

This study explores the trends and implications of social welfare qualitative research in Korea. The results are follows. At present, social welfare qualitative research is entering in the quickening period. The characteristics of configuration of social welfare qualitative research in Korea are overwhelming inferiority in post-positivism and heuristics, wide differences between universities in metropolitan area and in local area at the aspect of amounts of qualitative research products, rapid increase in the interests of qualitative research in doctoral candidates, and distinguishment of doctoral candidates as a leader group in qualitative research. The results of critics of qualitative researches are follow: 1) initiative of naturalistic interpretism 2) inclination of methodicism 3) poorness of critical themes 4) propensity in grounded theory. These trends of social welfare qualitative research in Korea, in spite of the limits, have various implications: 1) Trying to critics of social welfare knowledge based on positivism and formation of opposing discourse to positivism 2) diversification in paradigm of inquiry 3) spread of narrative thinking of social welfare phenomenon.

In the 2009 new curriculum reform, where creativity is the key point, assessment methods for mathematical creativity is recommended. However, lessons for creativity are not carried out well in mathematics classes. One of the reasons for this is the lack of assessment methods for student's creativity and specific instructions on how teachers should evaluate their students using a written test. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a simple way to evaluate student's creativity by differentiating the student's solutions of the posed problems. For validation of the proposed method, we identified the properties of excellent problem solutions cited by both the students group and teachers group. A chi-square test was then carried out to compare any differences in frequency that each of the groups chose as an excellent solution as a result of the student's problem solving

This study aims at examining text contents and its writing directions and analyzing their validity to develop text books of "invention and problem solving", which will be used for advanced courses of specialized high school of invention and patents. To develop text book contents and writing direction, literature research and professional association meetings were performed and to verify validity on developed text book contents and writing direction, survey research was performed. The subjects of survey research to verify validity consist of seventy five teachers who participated in the training course for invention leaders hosted by International Intellectual Property Training Institute (IIPTI) of Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). To examine validity on text writing directions, each area of the text, themes, and modules, questionnaires that consist of multiple choice questions, and open questions that participants can describe their opinions were developed. Text book writing plans are included in the questionnaires to help the understanding on text book contents. The conclusions drawn from results of validity analysis are as follows: First, each theme and modules of 'invention and problem solving' were properly developed for common text books for the advance course of specialized high school of invention and patents. Second, as for the text book writing direction of 'invention and problem solving', text books emphasize research ability and creative thinking. They were developed to help increase critical thinking, logical thinking and problem solving ability.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the appropriate way of essay writing education which helps the learners perceive and express a stream of knowledge through Home Economics education curriculum by themselves. While one-way type, which teachers just give instructions to students and students just learn from them, has dominated the education, new education focuses on interactive and reciprocal way in thinking and researching together. This new stream requires appropriate and various education method as well as the new concept of education curriculum. This study applies the curriculum of the German practical philosophy that recently has been a debated topic in Home Economics education. The purpose of the curriculum pursuits improving students' practical and critical thinking competence and essay writing is the center of it. In the curriculum learners write essays by asking and answering the questions through seven areas which students can experience based on three angles such as individual, social, and idealogical viewpoints. In this process learners don't remain in the individual angles and are able to be trained as intellectuals who can lead the social and cultural change as well as the individual growth by getting an insight into the idealogical angles. The Germany curriculum what is mentioned in advance presents one possibility that essay education can be introduced in Home Economics education that has accessed the education process by the practical inference based on the practical philosophy. That is, Home Economics education shares the context with essay education whose purpose is the intellect enlightenment because the former is the curriculum to make students build the abilities to access in many-sided angles not just one point, to deal with problems wisely, and to deduce the solutions. Therefore, students are expected to participate in the class dynamically by being satisfied intellectually abreast of practical essay education that helps learners read the stream of knowledge through Home Economics education. In this manner the category of Home Economics education will enlarge by making efforts to diversify the education methodology not staying only one method.
