Abstract

Creative education has evolved through the change and development through the history of about 30 years, mainly in Northern Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom.BR Smart education and MOOC, Flipped Learning, Khan Academy, Minerva School can be regarded as a trend of creative and convergent Science, Technology, Arts, Design(STAD) education in the recent 4th Industrial Revolution era. These are very excellent tools and means. At present, however, the creative and convergent STAD education in Korea is the education method of adding the field of arts to STEAM in USA, showing a limit that the main goal of education is to cultivate the connectivity of engineering, artistic literacy and scientific technology based on basic disciplines such as mathematics, science etc. Therefore, the background and purpose of this study is to re-set the goals that can overcome existing limitations through the analysis of domestic and overseas research trends and to present research findings and policy alternatives that can provide opportunities for further innovation in a new form. The research contents and method of this paper are as follows. That is, this paper investigates and analyzes domestic and overseas previous research trends and specific examples on the goals of desirable creative and convergent STAD education, the development and utilization of convergence education of subjects and programs and presents policy proposals and alternatives for each item of research findings required for application and practice, the development of programs, these courses and curriculum through it.BR The results of the study are as follows. First, the creative and convergent STAD education started from STEM has evolved into a form of education of training excellent talent with the integrated problem solving ability, creativity, and personality according to the changes and trends of the 4th industrial revolution era, the principle of supply and demand and further efforts and policy support are needed. Second, new education models such as Khan Academy, Aalto School and DIY Education, DIO Education, Maker Education and Convergence Talent Education H-STEAM, which match well with the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, STAD which is the convergence education of Science, Technology, Arts, Design, and science-art convergence type STEM program content on-site education are changing and innovating and movement that can be said to be revolutionary also began in college education such as MOOC, Coding Education, Flipped Learning, Minerva School. Therefore, it is important to establish a creative and convergent educational network of universities, research institutes, industry and government authorities, and to develop, apply and operate various curriculums, educational programs and further efforts and policy support are needed.BR Third, the important goals and directing point should be the future-oriented human-centered convergence education with the characteristics of public and public interest based on securing and maintaining teachers through professional manpower training, professionalism development, customized project education of a field-oriented collaboration system, industry-university cooperative education in the form of corporate workshop, human (personality) and culture and creative convergence and further efforts and policy support are needed. BR Fourth, the creative and convergent STAD education in Korea lacks the process of forming national, socio-cultural and economic consensus, reform plan through active communication with education authorities, policy-making efforts, action plans for industry-academia-research collaboration and further efforts and policy support are needed.BR The conclusions are as follows. The foundation of creative and convergent STAD education in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the expansion of new values, creativity, challenging spirit, collaborative personality, autonomy and diversity. STEM education will be more highlighted in the period of 4th industrial revolution and the importance and role of H-STEM education and STAD education, which are human-convergence talent (STEM) education based on this, are also temporal proposition and demand that will divide success or failure of our future education.BR The results of this study showed that creative and convergent STAD education is temporal demand and spirit at home and abroad and especially in Korea, ‘creative and convergent talent training’ education, which will be implemented from 2018 is also important and further efforts and policy support of government authorities are needed.
