Abstract

In this study, a geological field trip learning program using 3 Dpanorama virtual reality (PVR) techniques is developed to learn about the Chaeseokgang area located in a national park near Byeonsan-bando, Jeonbuk, Korea. The developed $360^{\circ}{\times}180^{\circ}$ PVR program can show every face of observational points and interact as zoom-in, zoom-out and image rotation. For the educational effects of the materials, it is provided with a compass, a protractor for measuring the dip of strata and observation of specimen of observational points. It also assists students to learn by providing enlarged images, pop-up windows, and expert explanation main observational points. The program is applied to the class of 35 gifted students in middle school to investigate the effectiveness of the program. The results showed that positive responses of the students were 85% or more. It is suggests that this program be used as indirect situated learning material and a solution to geological field trip problems like cost, safety, distance, and so on geological learning of middle school science.

본 연구에서는 전라북도 부안군 채석강 지역에 대한 3D파노라마 가상 현실 지질 답사 투어 학습자료를 개발하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 $360^{\circ}{\times}180^{\circ}$ 파노라마로서 관측 지점의 모든 면을 볼 수 있고, 확대, 축소, 화면 돌리기 등의 상호작용이 가능하다. 이 프로그램의 교육적 효과를 얻기 위해 컴파스 활용하기, 지층의 경사 등을 측정하기 위한 이동 가능한 각도기 제공, 관찰 지점의 표본에 대한 3D 관찰하기 등을 제공하였다. 또 주요 관찰 포인트에는 확대된 사진, 팝업창, 전문가 설명 등으로 학습을 도왔다. 이 프로그램의 교육적 효과를 알아보기 위하여 중학교 과학 영재반 학생 35명에게 적용해본 결과 약 85% 이상의 긍정적인 반응을 보여주었다. 따라서 이 프로그램은 중학교 과학과 지질학 수업 시 간접적 상황학습이 될 수 있고, 시간문제, 비용문제, 안전문제 등을 줄일 수 있는 하나의 보충적인 지질 답사 방법이 될 것이다.
