Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a living lab-based education program that can be used in the regular curriculum of Meister High School, apply it to classes, and analyze its effects. To this end, a 12-hour training program was developed based on the problem discovery and solution model during the Living Lab process, and its validity was verified with 10 experts. The final development materials were taught to 16 students taking software courses at A Meister High School located in Gangwon-do. Pre-post-tests were conducted on problem-solving competencies, and the effect of the program application classes on students' problem-solving competencies was confirmed through the Wilcoxon code test. In addition, qualitative research such as introspection journals, observation diaries, and interviews were conducted in parallel to supplement quantitative research. As a result of the study, it was found that the developed Living Lab program was effective in all areas of students' 'definition of problems', 'determination of problem-solving methods', 'problem-solving application', and 'evaluation and reflection'. In addition, the class using the Living Lab process was effective in inducing participation and interest in the class, and in particular, it was found that it provided a positive learning experience for the process of directly discovering community issues and selecting topics, as well as the process of creating and producing creative ideas. Based on the results of this study, it is judged that Meister High School's subject classes, which have the purpose of nurturing talents tailored to local industry demand, can be presented as a variety of living lab-based education.
