CONCOR와 Thematic Analysis을 활용한 4차산업혁명 시대의 창의적 인간에 대한 사회적 담론 고찰

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to look at how social discourse on ‘creative human beings in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution’ is emerging and to seek directions for fostering creative human beings in the context of the whole society. Methods To achieve the purpose of this study, 1,463 pieces of online news data from 2016, when the World Economic Forum was held, to January 2021 were collected through Textom. The collected data were subjected to CONCOR analysis based on data purification to derive clusters. Thematic analysis was conducted based on the derived clusters to name topics and describe their meaning through topic conceptualization and categorization. Results As a result of the analysis, firstly, ‘preparation for the future through nurturing convergence-type talent’ can be seen as an emphasis on creative education to foster convergence-type talent who can adapt to the rapidly changing social environment and discover new possibilities. Second, ‘humanity-based creative thinking’ is an emphasis on holistic education that makes people more human based on sound character and the development of emotions. Third, ‘competency strengthening through DT (Digital Transformation) education’ requires efforts to permeate the digital ecosystem while actively responding to changes in the digital environment in order to lead new possibilities in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution based on technological innovation. Fourth, ‘change in policy stance due to COVID-19’ has resulted in various discourses on the acceleration of digital innovation after COVID-19, non-face-to-face economy, social distancing, learning deficits, and care gap, etc. Conclusions Through the results of this study, social efforts and directions for fostering creative human beings who will lead the era of the 4th industrial revolution were presented, and follow-up studies were suggested based on the discussion.
