Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers' acceptance of digital games is constructed in the school context and what factors influence teachers' acceptance. To do this, we conducted a survey on teachers, school counselors, and professional counselors in August 2016. A total of 250 data were analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that the teachers' acceptance of digital game is composed of 5 factors - need for supervision, willingness to use, concern & monitoring, acceptance as alternative activities, acceptance efficacy. As a result of multi-variate multiple regression analysis, it was found that the teacher's age, the 2 factors of digital media literacy, the teacher's attitude toward student's digital game usage, and teacher's evaluation of the impact of digital games on school achievement have different effects on the 5 factors of teachers' acceptance. This study is meaningful to identify how teachers' acceptance of digital games is constructed and to explore the main factors affecting teachers' acceptance of digital games.

본 연구에서는 학교 장면에서 학생들의 디지털 게임 이용에 대한 교사의 수용도가 어떻게 구성되어 있는지를 살펴보고, 교사의 수용도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 알아보았다. 이를 위해 2016년 8월 설문조사를 실시하였고, 초, 중, 고등학교 교사와 상담교사, 전문 상담사, 총 250명의 자료가 분석되었다. 그 결과, 학생들의 디지털 게임 이용에 대한 교사의 수용도는 5개의 하위요인인 관리/감독의 필요성, 적극 활용의사, 관심과 확인, 부적응 대체활동으로 인정, 수용 효능감으로 구성되어있었다. 다변량다중회귀분석방법을 통해 분석한 결과, 교사의 연령, 디지털 미디어 리터러시의 하위요인 중 공동체성과 탈규범성, 학생들의 디지털 게임 이용에 대한 교사 태도와 디지털 게임이 학업에 미치는 영향에 대한 교사 평가가 교사의 수용도 5개 하위요인에 차별적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 교육적 잠재력이 강조되고 있는 디지털 게임에 대한 교사의 수용도가 어떻게 구성되어있는지를 구체적으로 확인하고, 교사의 수용도를 촉진하는데 영향을 주는 주요 요인들을 밝혔다는데 그 의의가 있다.
