Abstract:
It is necessary to introduce a common concept learning method that can be used in individual subject-matter education in the implementation of convergence education. Recently, some education researcher has been criticizing the convergence education based on STEAM. This is because it is still centered in science and engineering. They are discussing the necessity of convergence education centering on humanities or languages(Cha Kyung-mi & Koo, bon kwan, 2015).
Therefore, in this study, we aim to propose a concept learning method focusing on the language which plays a core role in the subject learning. More specifically, we would like to discuss the concept learning of the science based on the word representation.
Research questions are as follows. First, how has the discussion of concept learning methods been done so far? Second, what is the concept learning method based on word representation and how should it be structured? Third, do concept learning methods based on word representation have a meaningful effect on concept learning in practice?
The following is a description of the research method. First, explore the discussion of concept learning methods. Second, analyze vocabulary learning methods. And also analyze teacher recognition about concept learning method centered on word representation. We will conduct a contrast experiment between concept learning based on existing concept learning methods and concept learning based on word representation. Third, after concept learning centering on word representation, we measure conceptual understanding of learners.
Expected conclusions and discussions are as follows. Concept learning method based on word representation will have a meaningful effect on learners who enter the learning science concept for the first time. Concept learning based on word representation will have a significant effect on learners with low interest in science. The effectiveness of the concept learning method based on word representation will be correlated with the learner's language ability
Key words: Convergence education, Science concept learning method, Vocabulary learning method, Word representation
