Abstract

Objectives This study reconceptualizes Convergent Thinking based on insight to further concretize Convergent Thinking, which remains in abstract meaning in the 2015 revised curriculum.
 Methods After confirming that the psychological perception of insight appeared in opposing forms through literature study, through a critical review, it was pointed out that the existing cognitive aspects are closely related to each other and that each issue is only a peripheral element of insight. Accordingly, theoretical implications that can be applied to the detailed process of Convergent Thinking were secured by reinterpreting the cognitive process of insight generation focusing on more core elements. Afterwards, based on the secured implication, the detailed process and meaning of Convergent Thinking were specified and applied to actual classes to analyze the step-by-step execution process of Convergent Thinking.
 Results First, reinterpreted insight is a reflective selective perceptual ability that includes selective attention and its conversion and restructuring as key functions, and provides a rationale for the detailed process of Convergent Thinking that seeks to produce meaningful results through knowledge convergence. Second, based on the reinterpreted insight, Convergent Thinking is ‘Facing the problem - 1st frame of recognition - 1st problem recognition and solution derivation - 2nd frame of recognition (selective attention shift) - 2nd frame of recognition (restructuring)) - Secondary problem recognition and solution derivation’ was embodied in six repetitive and repetitive steps. Third, this detailed process of Convergent Thinking led to more appropriate problem recognition and solution through coherent processing of knowledge and perception in actual class.
 Conclusions Convergent thinking is a consideration of the formation of a coherent relationship between knowledge and perception, and is a reflective selective perception ability that constructs an appropriate cognitive framework and seeks to understand and solve the best problem by exploring appropriate knowledge among various knowledge existing in the learner's inner and environment. This Convergent Thinking includes selective attention and its conversion and restructuring functions as major processes.
