과학예술영재학교 학생과 교사의 창의융합교과 경험에 관한 문화 기술적 탐구

Abstract

This study is intended to find out why the programs of STEAM education fails to be adopted to the STEAM curriculum through sharing the experiences of teachers and students in Incheon academy of art and science whose curriculum includes STEAM subjects. Teachers and students have been observed and interviewed including my classes, which are sources of this study. It turned out that teachers reconstruct the curriculum of STEAM based on their own teaching styles and experiences. As a result, it leads to the disorganized class, which cannot meet the needs of students who want more challenging tasks. According to a survey, most of achieving students from Academy of Science & Arts ask for more specialized and higher level of tasks. However, their motivation toward STEAM is not so high because of the university entrance exam. Teachers also have difficulty in teaching students who have the low motivation. That is because they have to organize STEAM classes which includes both doing researches and learning normal course of study such as literature and liberal arts. To solve this problem, groups of teachers who are in rapport, well-organized contents for crossover and task force for the curriculum for the STEAM must be a prerequisite.
