For this purpose, three primary schools located in the metropolitan area of Korea were selected under a convenience sampling method, with one class selected for each of the 2nd, 4th, and 6th grades of each school. The conclusions of this research are as follows. First, analyzing students{\textquoteright} stereotypes of the inventor image showed that older students had more stereotypes about inventors than younger students did. Second, as a result of analyzing the images according to each indicator, Korean students were found to have stereotypes about the inventor. Third, the symbol of research was expressed together with one of the science-related experiment tool and the making-related experiment tool. Fourth, primary students perceived the inventor as mainly male. Male students mostly drew male inventors and female students mostly drew female inventors. Based on the conclusions obtained through this research, various educational implications to be reflected in primary technology education were suggested to escape the stereotypes of the inventor{\textquoteright}s image. }, keywords = {invention education, Inventor images, science education, South Korea, Technology Education}, issn = {1648-3898}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/jbse/18.17.252}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1523527246.pdf}, author = {Eunsang Lee and Hyuksoo Kwon} } @article {482, title = {META-ANALYSIS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INVENTION EDUCATION IN SOUTH KOREA: CREATIVITY, ATTITUDE, AND TENDENCY FOR PROBLEM SOLVING}, journal = {Journal of Baltic Science Education}, volume = {15}, year = {2016}, month = {February/2016}, pages = {Continuous}, type = {Original article}, chapter = {48{\textendash}57}, abstract = {This study aims to synthesize the research findings on the effects of K-12 invention education regarding creativity, attitudes toward invention, attitudes toward science, and tendency for technological problem solving in South Korea. Meta-analyses were conducted by calculating the effect size of 37 studies, including theses and journal papers associated with the implementation of invention education, published in South Korea. The overall effect size was medium (0.694), and invention education was found to have an effect on education. The effect sizes determined by the dependent variables and the categorical variables indicated that invention education had a positive impact. In other words, invention programs have helped improve K-12 students{\textquoteright} creativity, attitudes toward science, and tendency for technological problem solving. However, the number of program sessions and participants in invention programs did not have an impact on the benefits of invention education. Considering the effects of invention education on the students{\textquoteright} perspectives, this study could be helpful to both K-12 educational researchers and practitioners in the fields of science and technology education. Further studies are needed to develop the concrete instructional strategies of invention education for K-12 science and technology classrooms.}, keywords = {invention education, meta-analysis, science education, South Korea, Technology Education}, issn = {1648-3898}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/jbse/16.15.48}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2016/987-1481286024.pdf}, author = {Hyuksoo Kwon and Eunsang Lee and Dongkuk Lee} }
