Abstract
It is true that concurrent social phenomenon cannot be understood in a single academic framework since modern society lies on complicated environment. To facilitate persons who can lead complicated society, new types of education resources are required which implicate innovative insights and capabilities. A single notion of academy and segregated scholastic system are difficult to provide human resource satisfying the needs of complicated society. Therefore, the convergence of education is highlighted since it provides innovative socio-insight by emergence of different disciplines. Because of this, numerous universities suggest convergence education as an education tool to comprehend new streams of social phenomenon. However, existing convergence education only provides a single course which aggregates inter-dependent classes or solely independent classes which merged with other disciplines. Although indeed these two types of education take major role in the convergence education, some considerations might subsequently follow for establishing a system to stabilize objective of convergence educations. Taking various discipline related courses or practicing concurrent situation through multiple scholastic methods would not guarantee to student possess capability to understand new phenomenon and required knowledge. Thus, the universities need to response both desires of society on convergence education and rationale object of convergence education establishing basic convergence education system based on existing convergence education and classes for driving great impact of the education. This research suggests a way of establishing convergence education implicating on principle of convergence and its phenomenon. This will implicate hinges between the existing education system and convergence education. To do this, the research employs limitations of respected literatures, current state of convergence education and principle of convergence education to provide a guide line of establishing basis of the convergence education.
