Abstract

It is necessary for young children to integrate the sense of sight, hearing, touch, etc. for developing their emotion and cognition. Thanks to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development, young children have more opportunities to use various senses in learning process. However, ICT learning method is more focusing on the sense of sight and hearing, and lacks of integrated recognition and this fact leads to the reason why ICT can not be used as a main education tool. Therefore, this study evaluated the influence of wUbi-Pen(haptic device) on cognition using a computer puzzle program. The results show that young children using a haptic pen have greater intention and performance in object assembly, mazes, picture completion in K-WPPSI test than those of non-using haptic pen. This implies that haptic function should be considered in ICT material and indeed useful in various cognition-related symptoms and diseases.

유아의 감성, 인지 발달을 위해서는 시각, 청각, 그리고 촉각 등의 감각통합이 필요하다. ICT의 발전 덕택에 유아는 학습과정 중에 다양한 감각을 사용할 수 있는 더 많은 기회를 갖게 되었다. 그러나, ICT 교육법은 단지 시청각에 중점을 두고 있어 통합인지가 부족하며, 이러한 사실은 ICT가 왜 주교보재로 사용될 수 없는지를 보여준다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 퍼즐게임을 이용한 wUbi-Pen(촉각펜)의 인지 효과를 평가하였다. 실험 결과, wUbi-Pen을 이용해 햅틱 퍼즐 놀이를 한 경우 햅틱 기능이 없는 펜을 이용해서 퍼즐 놀이를 한 경우보다 K-WPPSI의 5개 동작성 평가 중 모양 맞추기, 미로, 빠진 곳 찾기 등 3개 영역에서 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 ICT 교재의 개발에 있어 촉각 기능의 필요성을 제시하고, 더 나아가 인지에 관련된 다양한 증상에 효과적인 교보재로 사용될 수 있음을 보여준다.
