Design and Implementation of a Motivation Model Using Edutainment Strategy on Mobile Learning Environments

에듀테인먼트 전략을 활용한 모바일 학습 환경에서의 동기 모형의 설계 및 구현

Over online education based on wired Internet technologies, due to recent development of various mobile technologies, education based on mobile environment becomes popular. In the meanwhile, the young students are more interested in game-based education that provides more interaction and instant feedback than one-way cramming education. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a new motivation model for mobile environment and apply the model to the elementary school students. The proposed model, based on Keller's motivation model, is designed to increase study effects through motivating students with various game strategies. The proposed motivation model has the following characteristics. First of all, the best game genre can be provided for each study theme in early planning stage. Second, the model can allow students to have more interests in their study activity by providing various edutainment elements. Third, a stage of producing game synopsis and concrete scenario is included in motivation model. The stage enables more complete combination of game and mobile motivation strategies. Finally, the proposed model allows contents developed to be appled in teaching plan without any refinement. That is, the model allows a teaching plan to be extracted from study contents instantly.

초고속 유선 인터넷의 발달과 더불어 각광을 받고 있는 온라인 학습을 넘어 현재 휴대인터넷 (WiBro)과 UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC)를 비롯한 모바일 환경에서의 학습이 활발해지고 있다. 또한 최근 학생들은 점차 일방적인 주입식 교육보다는 상호작용적이며 즉각적인 피드백을 받을 수 있는 게임적 요소에 큰 관심을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 학습자의 특성을 고려하여 모바일 학습에서 학습자의 학습 동기를 유발, 지속시키기 위한 방안으로써 Keller의 동기 유발 이론에 기초한 게임 전략을 접목시킨 새로운 동기 모형을 제시하여 학교 현장에 적용하였다.
