Abstract

In the past, delivering knowledge mainly, education focused on the development of left brain. However, as the importance of right brain is widely accepted, various approaches on education in creativity have been tried. With the advance in the research on the brain, it has been known that the left brain and the right brain are closely linked to work effectively while they are specialized to some functionalities differently. We developed an educational content exploiting Chinese characters to facilitate the balanced development of both brain. Making categorizations from Yin-yang and five elements of the universe, it consists of four stages. The first stage is to stimulate the brain with visual scandal. The second one, third one, and the fourth one are to develop the right brain, left brain, and both brain respectively. Through expert interview, the potential of the developed content as an efficacious method for brain development was verified.

과거의 교육은 주로 좌뇌 발달에 치중되어 지식 전달 위주의 형태로 시행되었으나, 우뇌 역할의 중요성이 밝혀지면서 창의성과 관련된 다양한 교육이 시도되고 있다. 뇌에 관한 연구의 진보에 따라, 좌뇌와 우뇌의 기능이 서로 상이하다는 관점에서 일부 기능이 특화되어 있지만 많은 뇌의 기능은 좌뇌와 우뇌가 협력적으로 수행하고 있음이 밝혀지고 있다. 본 연구는 좌우뇌의 균형있는 발달을 위하여 한자를 소재삼아 콘텐츠를 개발하였다. 음양오행의 다섯 가지 요소를 도입하여 항목을 정의하고, 각 한자당 4 단계를 거쳐 학습하도록 구성하였다. 1단계는 시각적 강제 결합을 활용한 뇌를 자극하는 도입단계, 2단계는 우뇌형 학습, 3단계는 좌뇌형 학습, 4단계는 좌우뇌통합 학습 구조로 설계하였다. 개발된 콘텐츠에 전문가의 인터뷰를 통해 효과적인 두뇌 학습 콘텐츠로서 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
