A study on the convergence education of science and physical activity using IT technology

Abstract

This study seeks to propose class model that is needed for executing education for the converged human resources and to increase the scientific knowledge of the students using IT technology at the field based on the theoretical framework of the education for converged human resources. During the introduction stage, students are presented with the study materials that can increase their interest. As such, contents of the previous stages – introduction to activity and study goal setting, organizing of the terms during the main activity and demonstration of the physical activity by applying IT technology, organizing and investigation – are re-verified, and students discuss about our body and movement in a diverse and creative manner while undergoing the problem solving process for the given themes for investigation. Through these series of processes, it is expected that the studies can come up with diverse ideas and grow their creative problem-solving ability while carrying out convergence education in the science theories and physical activities. Although this study suggested means to apply convergence education centered on the physical activities of specific grades in stages, it is hoped that a wider convergence education opportunity may be provided going forth by developing differentiated protocol in the domain that enables convergence education by each grade.
