Abstract

This study aims to examine the educational effects of the SSI program using Digital Storytelling (DST) approaches. Since DST provides students opportunities to express their own opinions in the form of stories and to share learning outcomes through the web, we developed and implemented SSI program by adopting the concept of DST in order to produce synergistic effects on student learning. Twenty-four 9th graders who enthusiastically engaged in the DST-based SSI program participated in this study. The students responded to focus group interviews after the instruction, and all interviews were transcribed for analysis. The results indicated that the students became aware of socio-ethical perspectives of each SSI topic while searching and collecting data by themselves. They also felt the necessity to consider multiple perspectives around the issues by having discussions with group members. Second, pre-producing DST allowed students to negotiate to settle on a group discussion, and to use emotional contents that can lead viewers to have sympathy. In addition, while producing DST, students considered various factors such as design, soundtrack, visual effects, and screen composition in order to express their opinions and convey their messages more effectively. In the stage of sharing DST outcomes and receiving feedback, they realized new perspectives that they did not perceive in the previous production process, and to move them into an action for resolving the problems caused by SSI. This study showed the potentials of DST-based SSI instruction as a good strategy to support students' SSI engagement.

본 연구에서는 디지털스토리텔링을 적용한 SSI 교육프로그램(이하 DST-SSI 수업)을 개발하고, 학생들이 수업의 각 단계에서 인식하는 교육적 효과를 탐색해보았다. 디지털 기술을 활용하여 이야기를 제작하고 전달하는 디지털스토리텔링은 자신의 의견을 표현하는 동시에 학습의 결과를 공유하고 실천할 수 있는 기회를 제공하므로, 다양한 입장에 대한 이해와 타인과의 의견 조율이 요구되는 SSI 교육에 접목되었을 때 보다 상승효과를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 예상하였다. DST-SSI 수업은 교육과정과 밀접하게 연계되는 네 가지 주제를 선정한 후 각각의 SSI 주제에 적합한 DST 활동을 삽입하는 방식으로 구성되었으며, 본 연구에는 수업에 참여한 중학교 3학년 학생 중 24명이 참여하였다. 4명씩 그룹을 지어 포커스 그룹 면담을 진행하였으며, 면담내용은 모두 전사하여 분석에 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 학생들은 각각의 SSI 주제와 관련된 내용을 검색하고 자료를 수집하는 탐색 및 토의 과정에서 그동안 미처 인식하지 못했던 사회 윤리적 측면을 인식하게 되었으며, 주제를 둘러싼 입장이 매우 다양할 수 있음을 확인하고 수용하게 되었다. DST를 사전 제작하는 과정에서는 모둠의 의견을 효과적으로 반영하는 이야기를 전개하고자 다양한 관점을 조율했으며, 실생활에서 살펴볼 수 있는 자연스러운 상황을 주제로 하는 등 시청자의 공감을 이끌어낼 수 있는 감성적인 콘텐츠를 활용하는 방법을 고민하기도 하였다. 또한 학생들은 실제 DST를 제작하면서 자신이 전달하고자 하는 메시지를 보다 효과적으로 전달하기 위해 사운드트랙이나 시각효과, 화면 구성 등의 요소를 고려한 다양한 방법을 모색하였다. 마지막으로, 웹을 통한 디지털 스토리의 공유와 피드백 단계에서는 제작과정에서는 미처 깨닫지 못했던 내용을 확인하는 동시에, 해당 문제와 관련하여 실생활에서 실천할 수 있는 것을 찾아 행동으로 옮겨보는 노력을 한 것으로 드러났다.
