Abstract

The college students who are in the game generation have different cognitive characteristics from the previous generations, and the phenomena of attention loss in the existing education methods such as lectures are generally seen. This results in a problem that the satisfaction of the university education is lowered. To solve this problem, it is possible to improve students' interest and concentration by using game-based educational methods. In this paper, we propose a method of university education using alternative reality game. The prototype was implemented and tested to verify that the proposed method is suitable for the university environment and can be operated. Through the test results, we confirmed that the proposed method meets the requirements of the university education field and that the required functions are functioning normally. In addition, according to the results of the questionnaire surveyed for the students, it shows that the proposed alternative game method based on the alternative reality game will be more effective in attracting students and improving concentration than the current education method.

게임 세대인 대학생들은 이전세대들과 인지적 특성이 달라서 강의와 같은 기존교육방법에서 주의집중력이 떨어지는 현상들이 전반적으로 나타나고 있다. 이로 인해 대학교육의 만족도가 떨어지는 문제가 발생한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해, 게임을 이용한 교육방법으로 학생들의 흥미 유발과 집중력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 대체현실게임을 이용한 대학교육방법에 대하여 제안하였다. 제안하는 교육방법이 대학 교육 환경에 적합한지 그리고 실제 운용가능한지를 검증하기 위하여 프로토타입을 구현하여 테스트하였다. 테스트 결과를 통해, 제안하는 교육방법이 대학교육현장의 요구사항들을 만족하고 필수기능들의 정상작동여부도 확인하였다. 또한 학생들을 대상으로 한 설문조사의 결과에 의하면 제안한 대체현실게임 기반 교육방법이 현 교육방법보다 학생에게 흥미유발과 집중력 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 나타났다.
