Development of the Educational Database of Picture Data for the Korean Geography Course of High School

고등학교 한국지리 교육용 영상자료 데이터베이스 개발

One of the fundamental, important preconditions for effective teaching of geography is to collect a variety of picture data available for class and to manage the data systematically. The purpose of this study is to present one method about how to supply basic picture data available for class of Korean geography for the high school program to teachers in service and how to collect, manage and utilize the data. A total of 233 picture data related to contents of the textbook of Korean Geography have been gathered through this study, and a database has been constructed for the data. Directories were generated for individual units of the textbook, and the collected picture data was stored in the image file of each directory. This data was recorded in a CD and attached as an appendix. Since the primary purpose of this study is to suggest one method, the picture data in a database for the present study is just a fraction of lots of data available for class of Korean geography. If the user persistently enlarges and manages data based on the results of this study, the data will become a good instructional aid. The picture data can be printed over the transparent film and used for class by using the overhead protector (OHP), or it can be also used as a remote self-study tool through the computer telecommunications network (e.g., LAN or INTERNET. etc,). Most desirable, however, is to develop teachers' own method by taking account of separate units of the textbook or diverse educational environments.

본 연구는 고등학교 한국지리 수업시간에 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 영상자료를 수집하고 이를 체제적으로 관리, 활용하는 방법을 제시하고자 하는 것이다. 연구과정용 동해 모두 233개의 영상자료를 수집하였다. 영상자료는 그림, 지도, 디지털지도, 사진, 동명상 등 5개 주제로 나누어 수집, 데이터베이스화하였다. 데이터베이스는 제목, 출처, 중류, 단원, 주제어, 규격, 비고 등 7개 항목으로 구조화하였다. 영상자료는 고등학교 한국지리 교과서 단원별로 만든 각각의 디렉토리에 저장, CD에 수록하였다. 이들 영상자료는 투명용지에 출력하여 OHP틀 이용하거나 교실에서 직접 컴퓨터를 통해 대형 스크린에 투사하여 활용할 수도 있다.
