초록

This study was performed to explore for solution to energize Korean STEAM education that is shrunk, literature review and comparative research are used as main research method. First of all, background of the United States STEM, trends of education policy with program, and operation cases of program were reviewed. And based on them, five features of future society and future leadership model, the goals and the direction of Korean STEAM education were also analyzed. Korean STEAM was based on the United States STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), was enlarged in Art, and then was defined as 4C-STEAM. 4C means creativity, communication, convergence, and caring. The U.S. government predicted the lack of workforce on the STEM related area in 2030. According to report, the workforce demand of these fields will form about 70% of all jobs in 2030. In contrast, STEM related programs showed declining enrollment and major selection rate. As a result, a workforce imbalance of STEM related fields rose at the top agenda of the United States government. And STEM has been operated systematically, but Korean STEAM reached the limitations on the following. First, the policy of Korean STEAM is that philosophical background with a strong necessity is somewhat insufficient. Second, the concept on the alphabet ‘A’ of STEAM is not clear. Third, convergence strategy need to be systemized and segmentalized. Last, hierarchy structure among sciences need to be more clarified. Most important of all is to provide an institutional strategy that can be continued more than 10 years.
