Abstract
This study is designed to propose a Reading-Writing instruction method for cultivating the convergent thinking. The definition of human being that is universally accepted has been faltering by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Students should reflect on the definition of a human being through a basic education process and renew self-identity. Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to question themselves about What is a human being? and to follow the Reading-Writing process of pondering over the boundary of a human being. Thus, this study proposes a Reading-Writing teaching method of pondering over the boundary of the human being as a way of cultivating the convergent thinking in writing course of universal liberal arts. In a changing society, it is required for students to recognize a situation that the boundary of human being has been wavering through a reading process. First of all, through a reading process such as novels and philosophy books and criticism of movies, students go through a process of pondering over the boundary of human. Afterward, students actively define the boundary of a human being and experience a process of cooperation writing to think What is a human touch? . University is the place that is educational and irreplaceable despite the periodical change. Therefore, cooperation writing is essential to increase mutual understanding by sharing their opinion. This manuscript suggests a specific method and example of writing that was used in Reading-Writing teaching in the actual course, thereby it is confirmed that pondering over the boundary of human meets the aim of the convergent writing course. The method proposed in this study correspond with the needs of the times resulted from the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Furthermore, this method is closely connected to a matter for self-examination which basic university education should necessarily handle. Hence, this study is regarded as significant.
