Abstract

The purpose of the study is to explore a plan for effective education using virtual reality in English education. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the perception of English education using virtual reality was comprehensively investigated and analyzed for teachers(n=20) in the field of English education. The results of the study reveal the followings: 1) Teachers are positively aware of the necessity of English education using virtual reality, but most teachers complained of a psychological burden on education using virtual reality; 2) negative responses were somewhat higher than positive responses to the expectation that virtual reality-based English content would be practical in the educational field; 3) In order to increase the effectiveness of English education using virtual reality, it is necessary to share experiences for educational experience of virtual reality and need to provide various virtual reality contents; and 4) For virtual reality educational application, there is a high demand for teaching and learning method education and training using virtual reality and provision of guidelines for education using virtual reality.

이 연구의 목적은 영어교육에서 가상현실 활용 교육이 효과적으로 이루어지기 위한 방안을 도출하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 영어교육 현장 교사를 대상으로 가상현실을 활용한 영어교육에 대한 인식을 종합적으로 조사·분석하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 현직교사들은 가상현실 활용 영어교육의 필요성에 대해 긍정적으로 인식하고 있으나, 대부분의 교사가 가상현실 활용 교육에 대해 심리적 부담감을 호소하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 가상현실 기반 영어콘텐츠가 교육현장에 실용적일 것이라는 기대에 대해서는 긍정적인 반응보다 부정적인 반응이 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 가상현실 활용한 영어교육이 효과성을 높이기 위해서는 가상현실의 교육적 활용에 대한 경험공유, 다양한 가상현실 콘텐츠 제공이 필요하다고 하였다. 넷째, 가상현실 교육적 활용을 위해서는 가상현실을 적용한 교수학습 방법교육 및 연수와 가상현실 활용 교육에 대한 가이드라인 제공에 대한 요구도가 높은 것으로 나타났다.
