Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify how the maker environmental education program affects 6th graders elementary school students' ability to solve creative problems by developing and applying it to their teaching activities. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the revised education curriculum of 2015, the Ministry of Education(The Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science & Creativity), and the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education's education policies were analyzed. Based on the analysis, a manufacturer's environmental education program was developed in four stages of planning, design, verification, application, and evaluation. And applied to 27 students in one sixth grade class of elementary school in Seoul for seven weeks through pre test and post test single group design. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, in the revised 2015 curriculum, the maker environmental education program was developed that reorganized each subject into an environmental theme. Second, the program was organized into a maker environmental education program suitable for the sixth grade level and the results of students' activities were shared through the manufacturer fair and continued after class. Third, the maker environmental education program developed through pre- and post-test results was found to have had a positive impact on improving creative problem solving abilities. Based on the conclusions of the study, the maker environmental education program not only enhanced creative problem solving skills, but also had educational effects of solving real-life problems creatively based on what was learned through various maker activities. Therefore, further research will be needed to devise and apply the maker environmental education program by supplementing other grades and various topics.
