Development of Biomimicry Convergence Instruction Model Based on Creative Problem Solving Process

초록

Although various studies on convergence education have been pouring out in school education, there has not been shown a suitable convergence instruction model for biology education. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an instruction model for biology class of convergence learning. Convergence learning should be based on problem solving process to enhance creative thinking. Hence, this study focused to review several literatures to extract convergence instruction factor from creative problem solving process. According to the literature reviews, biomimicry can be the most optimal method to learn either biological and bioengineering inquiry and creative design for problem solving. In addition, scientific and engineering inquiries, convergent design with creativity, and creative production were applied to students’ convergent problem solving in biomimicry class. Both divergent and convergent thinking constructing creative thinking could be consisted of students’ learning strategy in convergence class activity. As a result of this study, this study suggested the biomimicry convergence instruction model based on creative problem solving process. This instruction model was composed of three steps : scientific and engineering inquiry, convergent design with creativity, convergent creation of product. According to the process of convergence learning, researchers suggested the instruction model called as ‘S2D Model’ which is meaning a teaching model with the procedure from science to (creative) design. After application of the S2D Model into a biology class, and this study collected data to check the change of motivation level by course interest survey. In the application, the S2D model is not only to be suitable in biology class for teaching biology convergence, but also able to enhance science learning motivation of student.
