AB - In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, convergence becomes more important in the university education. When we divide it into general basic education and professional major one, convergence is normally emphasized in the latter. However, what about convergence in general education? As it were, is it appropriate to implement convergence education in general courses? If so, how is it to be fulfilled? The present paper concerns this matter. Interestingly, there are some controversies over the validity of convergence education in general courses, and scholars’ viewpoints vary. As is well known, general education cherishes some common humanity and intellect associated with being a free human. Whereas convergence is focused on the purposeful problem-solving characteristics in different areas or disciplines. In this paper, we claim that in order to overcome the presumed heterogeneity between the idea of general education and that of convergence and to bring convergence education into general courses, the status of convergence education should be placed not on the major level but on the basic level. Furthermore we suggest, as the necessary conditions for such education, ‘integrated question,’ ‘dynamic complex thinking,’ and ‘cooperative attitude.’
