Abstract

To meet changing education needs due to globalization, interdisciplinary convergence, and ICT development, it is necessary for engineering disciplines to provide student-centered education. Not only do teaching methods using ICT reproduce teaching contents in a digital format, but they are also expected to be effective media for constructive student-centered learning whereby learners build knowledge themselves. The aim of this study was to develop a tool for safety education using virtual reality technology. To achieve the objectives, the author defined the requirements and constraints of the tool, and implemented a 3D educational tool in a virtual reality environment. A pilot test with 10 students showed positive results.

세계화, 학문융합, 정보통신기술 발전 등의 사회적 변화에 맞추어 경쟁력 있는 공학교육을 위해서는 학습자 중심의 교육환경으로 변화가 요구된다. 정보통신기술을 활용한 학습방법은 교육내용과 방법을 디지털형식으로 재생산할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 학습자가 스스로 학습과정에서 지식을 구성해 나가는 구성주의적 학습자중심의 교육을 위해 효과적일 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 가상현실기술을 사용하여 학교수업 및 건설현장에서 안전교육용 도구로 활용할 수 있는 학습도구를 개발하였다. 학습자중심 교육도구를 개발하기 위한 요구사항을 정의하고, 이를 바탕으로 3D기반의 교육도구를 설계 구현하였으며, 학습자들을 대상으로 테스트를 실시하였다. 테스트에 참여한 학습자들은 대체적으로 교육도구의 기술적 학습적 평가도구로서의 측면에서 긍정적인 평가를 내렸다.
