Abstract

Energy saving is becoming more and more important issue due to lack of resources and limited nature. However, There is a lack of learning status on energy saving in the school field. In particular, in elementary education on energy saving was not linked to practice, and the educational effect was insufficient. Although various kinds of learning tools are utilized, many successful cases of energy saving game strategy are introduced in overseas industry field, and game design is proposed so that energy related education can be played through games. Because energy conservation can not be effective without practice, learning using games as a tool is expected to be more effective than learning based on knowledge transfer in the classroom. We propose a defense game for energy conservation education by using the mission elements, score acquisition element, time limit element, and character element which are the interesting elements of the game designed in the previous research.

에너지 절약은 자원의 부족 및 한정성으로 그 중요성이 더욱 증가 하고 있는데 반해 교육 현장에서 에너지 절약에 대한 학습 현황은 부족한 실정이다. 특히 초등교육에서 에너지 절약에 관한 교육은 실천으로 연결되지 못하여 교육 효과가 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 학습 도구로 여러 가지가 활용되고 있지만 해외 산업분야에서 에너지 절약을 위한 게임화 전략의 성공 사례가 다수 소개 되고 있음에 착안하여 에너지 관련 교육을 게임을 통해 할 수 있도록 게임 디자인을 제안한다. 에너지 절약은 실천을 하지 않으면 효과를 볼 수 없기 때문에 교실에서의 지식 전달 위주의 학습보다 게임을 도구로 활용한 학습이 효과가 높을 것으로 기대 된다. 에너지 절약 교육용 게임을 디자인하기 위해 선행 연구에서 제안된 교육용 게임의 재미 요소인 미션수행 요소, 점수 획득 요소, 시간제한 요소, 캐릭터 요소를 활용하여 교육용 디펜스 게임을 디자인하였다.
