TL;DR: In this paper, an exploratory study is conducted to provide descriptive and analytical accounts on STEAM teaching and learning as an innovative integrated convergence education in the U.S. for Korea and to integrate the outcomes of research papers on STEM education and recent literature.
Abstract: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in the U.S. has been identified as a significant national reform in K-16 education and curriculum in order to prepare students for the global economy of the 21st century. Korea has been facing very similar challenges to improve science, technology and mathematics education, in particular, the affective aspect of learning science and mathematics. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education has become a crucial issue in Korean education system. The major purpose of this exploratory study is to inform the exemplary framework of STEAM education in the U.S. for Korea and to provide descriptive and analytical accounts on STEAM teaching and learning as an innovative integrated convergence education. This study integrates the outcomes of research papers on STEM education and recent literature. It employs content analysis methodology qualitatively by analyzing and synthesizing the findings, conclusions, discussions, and recommendations of accumulated research works related to STEM/STEAM education. This study will help gain a stronger sense of the STEAM framework and will guide to develop the educational programs for Korea.

TL;DR: In this article, a STEAM integrated education program focused on themes that considered activities and interest in the grade 6 science subject was developed to identify its influence on the creativity and interest levels of elementary students.
Abstract: According to trends in scientific technical competition, many countries around the world are interested in and focused on the STEAM integrated education. By observing the fact that the goal of our country`s science education is to cultivate creative workers who have scientific knowledge, the need for STEAM integrated education cannot be denied. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop the STEAM integrated program focused on themes that considered activities and interest in the grade 6 science subject in order to identify its influence on the creativity and interest levels of elementary students. The STEAM integrated education program in this study was developed so that it can be applied as a unit review or reinforcement activities in the closing activities per unit in grade 6. The focus was placed on heightening students` creativity and interest in science subject learning through a program focused on activities per theme. As a result of applying the developed STEAM integrated program in prior and post conditions on 3 elementary school`s students in J Province, it was discovered that significant improvement was found in the creativity and scientific interest of elementary students in the experimental group, compared to the control group. Therefore, continuous and systematic development of the STEAM integrated education program is required, and moreover, it must be developed for all elementary grade levels and efforts should be put into actively applying the program in the field of education.

TL;DR: Ewha-STEAM as mentioned in this paper : Ewha steam is a STEAM game where the game is based on the game of STEAM and the players have to solve the STEAM problem.
Abstract: 본 연구에서는 21세기 미래 융합 인재 양성을 위해 도입된 융합인재교육(STEAM 융합 교육)의 이론적 틀을 마련하고, 융합인재교육의 방향성을 구체화하며, 교사들이 현장에서 융합인재교육을 실행하는 데 필요한 가이드라인을 제공하기 위한 목적으로 개발된 Ewha-STEAM 융합모형을 소개하였다. Ewha-STEAM 융합모형은 미래 융합 인재가 갖추어야 할 핵심 지식과 핵심 역량을 도출하여 융합인재교육의 방향성을 명확히 하고자 하였다. 핵심 지식이란 창의·융합형 인재가 갖추어야 하는 기본 지식을 의미하며, 여러 학문을 연계하는 교과기반 통합 개념과 서로 다른 특성을 지닌 학문을 융합하기 위해 요구되는각 학문의 본성에 대한 이해와 같은 소양 지식으로 나눌 수 있다. 핵심 역량이란 창의·융합형 인재가 갖추어야 하는 기본 역량으로, 각 교과를 기반으로 하되 여러 학문 영역에 전이되어 문제를 해결할 수 있는 교과기반 통합 역량과 미래 사회에서 새로움을 창조하고 지속가능한 발전을 이끌어나가기 위해 요구되는 창의·인성 역량으로 나누어 제시하였다. 마지막으로, 융합인재교육을 위한 교육과정을 운영하거나 교육프로그램을 개발할 때 고려해야 하는 세 가지 융합 요소를 도출하였다. 첫 번째 요소는 융합 단위로서 학교 현장의 수업 운영 방식을 고려하여 개념/탐구과정, 문제/현상, 체험활동의 세 단개로 나누었다. 두 번째 요소는 융합 방식으로 서로 다른 교과목을 어느 정도 융합할 것인가에 대한 것이다. 융합 정도에 따라 다학문적, 간학문적, 탈학문적 융합으로 분류하였다. 마지막 세 번째 요소는 융합 맥락이다. 글로벌 사회에서의 융합은 개인차원을 넘어, 지역 사회, 나아가 전 세계적인 맥락에서 고려해 볼 수 있다. 이에 따라 개인적 맥락, 지역 사회적 맥락, 세계적 맥락의 세 단계로 나누었다. Ewha-STEAM 융합모형은 앞으로 융합인재 교육의 방향성과 잠재성에 대한 합의를 이끌어 내고, 양질의 융합교육 프로그램을 개발하거나 개발된 융합 프로그램을 평가하는데 큰 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.

TL;DR: In this article, Choi et al. proposed a method to improve the quality of the content of the video, which is based on the concept of a "blending" of the two channels.
Abstract: 학생들의 과학적 소양을 기르는데에는 과학과 관련된 정의적 특성이 중요한 역할을 한다. 과학적 태도, 자연과 과학에 대한 가치, 호기심과 관심 등의 과학과 관련된 정의적 특성이 대부분의 과학교육 목표에 포함되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 과학과 관련된 정의적 특성의 평가체제와 문항을 개발하였다. 인식, 흥미와 과학적 태도의 세 개의 주범주와 16 개의 소범주로 평가체제가 구성되었다. 평가체제의 타당도는 10명의 과학교육학자들에 의하여 검증되었다. 48개의 평가 문항을 문항반응분석과 문항-검사 상관계수를 고려하여 총 64 문항 중에서 선정하였다. 크론바하 알파계수는 인식과 흥미에서 0.83이고, 과학적 태도에서는 0.86이었다. 검사의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과학과 관련된 정의적 특성에서 남학생이 여학생보다 더 높은 점수를 나타내었다. 둘째, 초등학생이 중등학생보다 더 높은 과학과 관련된 특성 점수를 나타내었다. 마지막으로 도시지역의 학생이 시골지역의 학생보다 더 높은 과학과 관련된 특성 점수를 보여 주었다.
