기술과 교육의 학습 과정으로서의 '설계과정(design process)'과 '문제해결(problem solving)'의 비교 연구

The design process and problem solving has suggested as the basic principles for invention and innovation in action based on the technological process in technology education. The study was started to solve the problems of conceptional misunderstanding of 'design process' and 'problem solving' as a technological learning process. The purpose of study was to make a comparative analysis the difference and the common feature between design process and problem solving for technological process in technology education. Therefore, the study was conducted through literature research on the theory and model of design process and problem solving in technology education. The findings of this study were as follows: 1. Basic concepts and key-words used frequently in theory and models of 'design process 'were identified as follows: Design, Design Brief, Modeling, Observed Need and Requirement, Opportunity, Design Specification, Prototypes, Communication, Realization, Modification, Systematic, Iterative process, Design loop, Technological capability, etc. 2. Basic concepts and key-words used frequently in theory and models of 'problem solving' were identified as follows: Problem, Solution(s), Find Problem Identification, Structure of Problem, Define problem, Open ended process, Implementation, Context-specific, Circular process, Technological literacy, etc. 3. The common feature of design process and problem solving for technological process in technology education were focused on procedural knowledge, integration of knowledge, real-world context, higher order thinking, open ended problem, constructivism learning environments.
