In this study, we suggested the design thinking process that was possible to be introduced in science education and also examined the validity of the process in terms of group creativity. To do this, the design thinking process applicable to science education was selected from a variety of design thinking processes developed abroad, and then the process was modified and supplemented. We created the education program based on the developed design thinking process and applied it to high school students. The results revealed that we could offer the design thinking process through the five stages: 'understanding knowledge', 'empathy', 'sharing perspective', 'generating idea', and 'prototype'. With the results of the application of the program, we could confirm the relationship building and information seeking attributes in the understanding knowledge stage and the user-orientation, relationship building, and interpersonal understanding attributes in the empathy stage. We could also find the organization of the team attribute in the sharing perspective stage and the analytical strategic thinking attributes in the generating idea stage. Finally, the communication and analytical strategic thinking attributes in the prototype stage were confirmed. All of the key attributes of the group creativity found from skilled professionals were not confirmed from the students. However, we could ascertain the possibilities that the students should experience the process of group creativity and learn the relevant values through the developed design thinking process.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the ability of students' raising creative problems and academic achievement, science inquiry skills and creative personality of high school students. In order to evaluate the originality of problems, the present study used three methods: evaluation by frequency, teacher, and student. The results in this study turned out to be as follows: First, there was not much difference in the three methods. But familiar problems had the possibility of receiving higher marks. Second, the ability of students' raising creative problems was significantly correlated with academic achievement and creative personality, but there was no correlation with science inquiry skills. The subjects were divided into 2 groups by students' originality score. In the higher score group, the ability of students' raising creative problems was significantly correlated with creative personality, but in the lower score group, it was significantly correlated with academic achievement. Third, as for science inquiry skills and creative personality between two groups, there was no significant difference, whereas as for academic achievement(physics I, chemistry I), there was significant difference.

This study investigated the effects and development of instruction module using ICT on earth field at elementary school science. The effects by 5th graders appeared as follows; First. ICT-applied teaching method proved to enhance the science teaming achievement regardless of their grades compared to the ordinary one. Second, Instruction module using ICT devoted to improve 'self-directed learning characteristics' at all grades by comparition of the ordinary teaching method. The 5th graders showed the improvements in the fields of' openness', 'self-conception', 'initiative', 'future inclination', 'creativity', 'self-assessment ability' all of which belong to self-directed teaming characteristics. They did not, however, show meaningful effect on improving 'learning eagerness' and 'responsibility' improvement. Thirdly, ICT-applied teaching method proved that it is more effective for developing 'creativity' than the ordinary one at all sample grades. The effectiveness was presented highly at 'fluency', 'originality' all of which belong to creativity. They did not, however, show meaningful effect on improving 'flexibility'.

In this study, we performed experimental studies on the educational programming languages of Dolittle and Robot to compare and analyze their effect on improving creativity. We formed three sixth grade classes, totaling 99 students, into a Robot class, a Dolittle class, and a general class that served as a neutral. The Dolittle class and the Robot class took ten programming lessons with specific hand-in operations, as well as feedback and discussion, during ten weeks. The experiment results showed that student creativity in the two programming classes improved more than that of students in the general class. Especially creativity of the students in the Robot class improved the most. Moreover, the mean creativity of the lower academic achievement group was slightly better than that of the higher group. This implies that there is no positive correlation between academic achievement and creativity.

The purposes of this study are to examine the effects of learning, which was applied TRIZ's 40 inventive principles, on the improvement of learners' creativity and to offer basic information that would be necessary to study on Inventive Education in Technology Education. In order to achieve the purposes, objects were divided into two groups, experiment group(74 students) and control group(67 students), who were from B Middle school in Daejeon. Creativity Self-Assessment and Student Inventive Rating Scale were used as tools for research so that we could find the homogeneity in two groups. An applied design method was nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. This study was performed for 2 hours on the 1st and the 3rd Saturday in every month from the 3rd week of March, 2006 to the 3rd of July of 2006, and total researching period was 9 weeks. In that time, the students were required to learn 40 inventive principles. The results from this study are as below. (1) Applying TRIZ's 40 inventive principles had a positive effect on students' CQ(creative quotient), as influencing on the subordinate factors of creativity, such as, originality, germinal, trasformational, value, attraction, expressive power and organic systemicity. However it didn't have any effect on adequateness, properness, merit, complex and elegance. (2) Applying TRIZ's 40 inventive principles had a significant effect neither on CQ by sex, nor on the subordinate factors of creativity, except for originality and expressive power. Based on the results of the experiment, below suggestions were made to promote the application of TRIZ's 40 inventive principles to Technology Education. (1) Although this study was performed by using development activities, it is necessary to study more systemically to apply 40 inventive principles to regular subject in Technology Education. (2) As creativity was very important in Technology Education, there should be studies on the various types of inventive principles and techniques for Inventive Education in Technology Education.
