A Development on S-STEAM Education Program Utilization of a Machine for Early Childhood in Korea

Authors : Hyoung-Jai Kim

Abstract: We aim to develop the program of S-STEAM education that utilizes a machine for early childhood in Korea. An initial basic direction was set to emphasize the necessity of the S-STEAM education for 5 years old by reviewing preceding research and literature regarding science programs, science activities, 3-5 years old Nuri curriculum and S-STEAM education. And we also defined a list of machine and their assessment criteria and then created a list of machine for 5 years old S-STEAM education. Third, we developed the final design of S-STEAM education utilization the machine for 5 years old. First, the program of S-STEAM education utilization the machine will proceed with an order partial appreciation and analysis of S-STEAM for 5 years old, introduction of scientific problem situations, analysis and understanding of the scientific problems, exploring resolutions, creative design and emotional experiencing, creative convergent design, conclusion on scientific problem solving, summarizing, verifying and evaluating S-STEAM. Second, the contents of S-STEAM education program will be based on scientific contents such as the motion of objects, change of state of a substance and environmental science according to every day existing life themes. The machines will provide light, light reflex, heat, electron or motor functions to resolve scientific problem situations regarding S-STEAM education activities and be used to processed creative convergent design. The proposed S-STEAM education program as a new paradigm in science education will facilitate the development and distribution of new convergent teaching methods in the early childhood education.
