Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest areas for improvement of KakaoTalk. KakaoTalk is used by everyone in Korea, and even elementary school students have been using it a lot recently. Therefore, to help parents feel safe about their children using KakaoTalk, and to ensure that children are not worried about their parents when using them, I would like to examine each user's experience to pinpoint the problem. As a method of study, a survey and interview was conducted on eight parents and eight children using KakaoTalk. Through this, the parents could not trust KakaoTalk in terms of reliability when they saw their children using KakaoTalk. Based on this research, we hope to improve KakaoTalk through further research so that parents and children can use Kakao Talk safely.

본 연구는 국민 채팅 앱으로 일컬을 수 있는 카카오톡을 부모들이 안심하고 초등학교 자녀들이 쓰게 할 수 있도록, 초등학생 자녀들도 안심하고 사용할 수 있도록, 양 대상자 간의 사용자 경험의 차이점을 조사한 후 카카오톡의 개선 영역을 제안하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 연구방법으로는 문헌연구를 통해 한국의 스마트폰 보급률을 조사하고, 키즈폰 출시와 한계점, 카카오톡의 사회적 문제에 대해 고찰하였으며, 카카오톡을 사용하는 부모 8명과 해당 자녀 8명을 대상으로 피터 모빌의 허니콤 모델을 기반으로 한 설문조사, 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 각 대상자의 카카오톡의 구체적인 사용 실태와 관점, 니즈를 파악하였고, 부모들은 신뢰성 부분에서 카카오톡을 신뢰하지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 후속 연구를 통해 카카오톡 실제 개선까지 이루어져 부모와 자녀가 안심하고 쓸 수 있는 카카오톡이 되기를 기대한다.
