ABSTRACT

Recently, the discourse of the 4th industrial revolution, which is rapidly spreading, has led to the importance of collaborative ability based on self-directed learning and digital literacy ability. There is a criticism that science liberal education in the domestic universities still give one-way lecture or a way of incorporating lectures and discussions, which does not contribute to the enhancement of the qualities required for the 4th Industrial Revolution despite these changes in the environment. In this study, the current state of science liberal education in Korea and the United States, the teaching methodology discussed in the US and the cases of applying new teaching methods are summarized. On the basis of it, several suggestions for improvement is to be made as follows. First, students should be taught science through self-directed experiences by using project models or by participating students in local service project models. Second, it is necessary to consider introducing a multi-dimensional evaluation system, and absolute one rather than a relative evaluation system in order to motivate students participating in student-led learning. Third, there is a need to try multi-disciplinary subjects. For this, the support of universities should be expanded, and completion duty for the science liberal arts normally fixed to 3 credits should be adjust autonomically. Fourth, teachers is to be provided pedagogical training courses.
