Abstract

As the prevalence of mobile platforms, expanding digital content production and also increasing interest about the serious game. However, existing educational serious games are short of application of educational function and lower effectiveness that not linked with off-line education. In this paper, we developed an educational serious game 'Rice-Mimi Adventure' for children based Tablet PC. The Games are designed five steps by four elements that storytelling, playing, music and cooking. Specially, players interaction between characters should be increase their own concentration and interest. For the effectiveness verification that linked education of on/off-line, experiment to 126 students of 3,4th grade in Choenan. A result shows positive data that on/off-line linked education using Tablet PC and effectiveness of game contents applied design factors. For this work, we should find effective class and teaching method using digital contents in off-line education for children.

모바일 플랫폼의 보급이 확대되면서 디지털 콘텐츠(Digital Contents)가 양산됨에 따라 교육용 기능성게임 역시 관심이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 디지털 교육용 기능성 게임은 교육적 기술의 적용이 미비하거나 오프라인(Offline) 교육과 연계되지 않는 단독적인 형태를 가지고 있어 효율성이 낮다. 본 논문에서는 태블릿 PC를 활용한 아동 교육용 기능성 게임 '쌀미미 어드벤쳐'를 개발하였다. 개발한 게임은 이야기, 놀이, 음악, 요리의 4가지 요소를 디자인하여 총 5 단계로 구성하였고 캐릭터와 인터랙션 등을 통한 콘텐츠의 집중도와 흥미를 높였다. 천안 소재 초등학교 3,4학년 126명을 대상으로 온/오프라인의 학습 융합과 효율성을 실험한 결과, 태블릿 PC를 활용한 디지털 교육과 오프라인 교육의 연계 학습 측면과 학습 디자인 요소를 적용한 게임 콘텐츠의 효율성 측면에서 긍정적인 결과를 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 아동들의 오프라인 교육에서 디지털 콘텐츠를 적용한 효과적인 수업과 학습 방법을 모색 할 수 있을 것이다.
