This paper aims at exploring several aspects related with creative activities by qualitatively introspecting the creative works done by secondary school students including gifted students. The participating students attended intensive robot classes using GoGo board and other robotic tools including sensors and ended up with designing and creating their own robot artifacts. The author collected the participating students’robot outcomes done in Feb 2013, in Jan 2015 and July 2015 respectively including video data, and informal interview as for complementary data analysis. The qualitative review was depicted as followings. First, the female students seemed to prefer designing relatively simple and pretty interactive robot pieces based on their skills learned from the classes whereas the male students tended to fully utilize the functions of GoGo board and several sensors to integrate for their own creative inventions and engaged themselves into hardware constructing and programming. Second, some gifted students gained interesting insights from the GoGo bumper car project and applied them into their creative projects and accomplished their works by sustaining cycle of constructing, coding, testing and debugging in a limited time session. At the end, I compared the students’works with several relevant international cases in order to indicate the possible future direction such as kinetic arts, and suggested several implications for creative robot education.

The purpose of this study was to examine the early childhood teachers' perception about the future competency of global leaders. The data were collected from 100 early childhood teachers who were working in 4 kindergarten and 5 daycare centers in Seoul. The research problems were first, what is the general perception of future teachers of early childhood teachers? Second, what is the general perception of future education as a global leader of early childhood teachers? Third, the question of whether there is a difference in the future competence of the early childhood teachers? The results of this study were as follows: First, the early childhood teacher will be a convenient life for future society, but it is predicted that occupations such as production workers will be unstable, so it is important to secure jobs. Second, future competency will be important for success in the future society, so openness toward diversity, global network, and basic attitude ability are the most necessary competencies for global leaders. Third, personality and ethical attitude were the most important competencies in leadership education. In this way, early childhood teachers thought positively about the changes of future society, prepared for change through education, and had to be competent as global leaders.

The purpose of this study was to explore apprentice jockeys’learning experience of horsemanship. Narrative analysis was used to achieve the goal of research. Three participants were involved in this study. The data of research was collected from mainly in‐depth interviews with the participants. The findings of the study are as follows: First, the elements constituting the narrative of apprentice jockey in each learner's life were necessary and sufficient conditions to their experiences of learning the horsemanship. Therefore, the experience of self-directed learning the horsemanship is the opportunity to restart their new life arranging the meaning of their life. Second, the experience of apprentice jockey learning the horsemanship is to be the reason of their beings, connect between the present and the future, result in the method and the purpose of developing their wisdom in life.
