Abstract

Metaverse have begun to attract attention because it facilitate interaction between learners and teachers in non face- to- face environment. In order to use the metaverse in the educational field such as online class, it is important that pre-service teachers intend to use it. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural relationship between the pre-service teacher's educational competence and the intention to use the metaverse based on the technology acceptance model. The influence factors of flexibility for new technology, teacher efficacy, and TPACK were examined. It was conducted with 240 pre-service teachers, and the data of 183 pre-service teachers finally collected were used for the analysis. As a result of the study, among the metaverse educational competencies of elementary school pre-service teachers, flexibility and TPACK mediate perceived ease, and the pathways affecting metaverse use intention were significant. In this regard, theoretical and practical implications that can be helpful in the discussion and intention of using the metaverse of pre-service teachers were presented.

코로나19로 인해 교육 현장에서는 비대면 수업이 정착되었다. 이에 온라인 수업, 블렌디드 러닝 등의 방법이 도입 되었으며, 학습자와 교수자, 학습자와 학습자 간 상호작용을 촉진하는 메타버스가 주목받기 시작했다. 메타버스는 비대면 방식에서 나타난 물리적 환경에서 오는 교육의 한계를 극복할 수 있어 초등교육 학습자들에게 보다 적합한 교육 방안이 될 수 있다. 메타버스를 교육 현장에 활용하기 위해서는 예비교사들의 사용의도가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기술수용모델에 기반하여 예비교사의 교육역량과 메타버스 사용의도 간의 구조적 관계를 분석하여, 새로운 테크놀로지에 대한 유연성, 교수효능감, 테크놀로지 내용교수지식(TPACK)의 영향 요인을 살펴보았다. 예비교사 240명을 대상으로 하였고, 최종 수집된 183명의 자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 연구 결과 예비교사의 메타버스 교육역량 중 유연성과 TPACK은 인지된 용이성을 매개하여 메타버스의 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 경로는 유의하였다. 이와 관련 논의와 예비교사들의 메타버스 사용의도에 도움을 줄 수 있는 이론적, 실천적 시사점을 제시하였다.
