문제중심 STEAM 프로그램이 고등학생의 과학 관련 태도와 STEAM 수업에 대한 인식에 미치는 효과

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to develop a problem-based STEAM program, and to examine its effects on the science-related attitudes of high school students, and their perceptions about the STEAM instruction. The problem-based STEAM program consisted of two topics, designing my health and water keeping my body. The subjects were 121 10th graders, who were conducted on a control group for explanation-based instruction and an experimental group for the instruction using problem-based STEAM program. The instrument to survey the science-related attitudes of high school students consisted of four factors such as the social implication of science, the attitude toward scientific inquiry, the adoption of scientific attitudes, and career interest in science. Surveying the perception about the instruction using STEAM program was performed regarding the interest in the instruction, the effects of the instruction, and the participation in the instruction. The results suggested that the problem-based STEAM program positively influence high school students’ the science-related attitudes, and the perception about the instruction using STEAM program. Therefore using problem-based STEAM program could be effective on improving high school students’ attitudes and participating in science learning and convergency education.
