로렌츠의 힘으로 움직이는 배 만들기 체험활동을 위한 MST 통합교육 프로그램의 개발

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to develop MST Integrated Program for making Lorentz ship hands-on activities. The main focus of the program was to help students to understand and solve integrative problems in relation to mathematics, science, technology in the real world. Hands-on activity was chosen because the higher elementary school student have been highly perceived and interested. As a development study it has taken both questionnaire and pilot/field tests. The study was performed by three major phase: preparation, development, and improvement. In the first preparation phase, I conceived the development of MST integrated program for making Lorentz ship hands-on activities through the literature review for the need of student, society, subject matter. In the second development phase, design brief consisted of situation, problem, design constraints, the challenge, documentation. Teacher's guide consisted of sample solution, overall objective, listing of applications, suggested instructional sequence, phases of the activity, sequence of student activities, introduction, glossary of terms, resources. In the third improvement phase, I performed pilot test for increasing reliability and field test for establishing content validity. It become clear that goals of technology education could be effectively achieved through integrative curriculum including problem solving in the real world. Such an integrative approach might be applied throughout the school curriculum in diverse settings to produce more creative problem solvers.
