Abstract

In this paper we investigate the history of the education based on STEM which is one of the topics of teaching method of Mathematics and Science oriented to the student, Hand-on education be applying partly to college education and the case of the education of the subject "Mathematics and Science for Engineering" of Japan's college. The educational method based on STEM make the student to recognize by themselves the necessity of the mathematics in the study of the technological and engineering problem, and furthermore draw a conclusion which is the proper method to change from passive to positive the study attitude for the mathematics. But it is more or less unreasonable to apply directly to college education with not physical fusion but chemical fusion of S (science), T (technology), E (engineering) and M (mathematics). Therefore we make themselves to find T and E considered at graduation works. We propose Pseudo-STEM teaching method linking this recognition obtained through self-activity to the mathematics subject.

본 연구에서는 학생중심의 수학 및 과학 교육법으로 화제가 되고 있는 STEM교육의 유래와 STEM 교육을 대학교육에 부분적으로 적용하고 있는 Hands-on교육과 일본대학의 수리공교육의 사례를 조사한다. STEM교육은 학생들이 기술과 공학의 문제에서 수학의 필요성을 자각하도록 하고, 더 나아가 수학교과에 대한 수동적 학습태도를 능동적으로 바꾸는데 적합한 방법으로 부상되고 있지만, S(과학), T(기술), E(공학), M(수학)의 물리적 융합이 아닌 화학적 융합으로써 현행 대학 교과과정에 바로 적용하기에는 다소 무리한 측면이 있다. 따라서 실제 프로젝트에서 고려되어야 하는 T와 E를 졸업작품에서 스스로 찾도록 하고, 이 자발적인 발견을 수학교과목과 연계하는 Pseudo-STEM교육법을 제안한다.
