Abstract

In this study, it is assumed that 'knowledge information processing competency' and 'creative thinking competency' directly or indirectly affect students' convergent thinking ability, and can be applied to improve students' convergent thinking ability in the educational field. Based on Beane's collaborative design model, 'D.A.P. A convergence class model was developed, and an activity sheet to which design thinking was applied was designed and used to effectively guide students' activities. In addition, since convergence thinking ability is not a competency that can be formed in a short period of time, the 'Living Lab Project', which recognizes problem situations in learners' lives and solves them, was incorporated to observe the change process of students in the course of long-term activities. In the course of the research, I tried to induce students' leading participation, and through the process of solving social problems, I was able to derive the educational value that students should cultivate as democratic citizens and preliminary members of society. In the course of the Living Lab Project activity, students of the convergence club can observe changes in the definitional aspect, such as changes in communication in cooperative dialogue, growth in a sense of responsibility as a leader, and formation of an attitude of respect for the other party that students of the convergence club conduct group activities. could As a result, it was concluded that the 'Living Lab Project' activity had a positive effect on the improvement of students' convergence thinking ability in the overall aspect.
