Abstract

COVID-19, which occurred in Wuhan, China, made it difficult for Korean churches to face to face worship, therefore metaverse emerged as an alternative to solving these problems. metaverse is forming various platforms through technology expressed in 3I(Immersion, Interactive, virtual Image). The purpose of this study is to analyze the application plan of Christian education by applying metaverse technologies to Christian education. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, first, the definition, type, platform, and technology of the metaverse are presented to examine the key of the metaverse, second, in order to analyze the church from the theological educational aspect, the essence of the church, the mission of the church, and the metaverse church are examined, third in order to apply the metaverse to Christian education, it is classified into worship through the metaverse, education through the metaverse, service through the metaverse, the christian relationship through the metaverse, and missions through the metaverse. The application plan of the metaverse for Christian education is that first, worship can be held through metaverse. Second, education can be performed through the metaverse. Third, the metaverse can be used to fulfill the mission of service. Fourth, through the metaverse, christian can fellowship through the metaverse. Fifth, the missionary mission can be carried out through the metaverse. In conclusion, metaverse is still in the development stage, but various programs should be developed to achieve the purpose of Christian education by utilizing various platforms developed so far and utilizing the advantages of the platform. In particular, the Korean church will be able to utilize various programs such as Sunday worship, Sunday school, youth retreat, QT, Bible school, and pilgrimage through the metaverse to make good use of the characteristics of the metaverse. In addition, metaverse is an extended reality(XR) that integrates VR, AR, and MR, and its strength is an engagement in creative Christian educational activities out of the original Christian education. In the future, metaverse technology can be applied to Christian education in various ways as the fourth industrial technology is developing.

중국 우한에서 발생한 코로나19는 한국 교회의 대면 예배를 어렵게 만들었다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위한 대안으로 메타버스가 등장하였다. 메타버스는 3I(몰입감: Immersion, 상호작용: Interactive, 가상이미지: virtual Image)로 표현되는 기술을 통해서 다양한 플랫폼을 형성하고 있다. 이러한 메타버스 기술을 기독교교육에 적용하여 기독교교육의 적용방안을 분석하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 이러한 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 먼저, 메타버스의 본질을 살펴보기 위하여 메타버스의 정의, 유형, 플랫폼, 기술을 제시하였고, 다음으로 교회론을 교육신학적인 측면에서 분석하기 위하여 교회의 본질, 교회의 사명, 메타버스 교회에 대해 살펴보고, 메타버스를 기독교교육에 적용하기 위하여, 메타버스를 통한 예배, 메타버스를 통한 교육, 메타버스를 통한 섬김, 메타버스를 통한 성도의 교재, 메타버스를 통한 선교 등으로 분류하여 메타버스의 기독교교육을 위한 적용방안을 분석하였다. 메타버스의 기독교교육을 위한 적용 방안은 첫째, 메타버스를 통해 예배를 드릴 수 있다는 것이다. 둘째, 메타버스를 통해서 교육을 수행할 수 있다. 셋째, 메타버스를 활용하여 섬김의 사명을 수행할 수 있다. 넷째, 메타버스를 통해서 성도들이 교재할 수 있다. 다섯째, 메타버스를 통해 선교의 사명을 수행할 수 있다는 점을 분석하였다. 결론적으로 메타버스는 아직 발전단계에 있지만 지금까지 개발된 다양한 플랫폼을 활용하여 그 플랫폼이 가지고 있는 장점들을 활용하여 기독교교육의 목적을 달성할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램들이 개발되어야 한다. 특히, 한국교회가 메타버스를 활용하여 주일예배는 물론이고, 주일학교, 청소년 수련회, QT, 성경학교, 성지순례 등의 다양한 프로그램들을 활용하여 메타버스가 가지고 있는 특성을 잘 살리는 기회가 되었으면 한다. 또한 메타버스는 VR, AR, MR이 통합된 확장현실(XR)의 기술을 활용하여 기존의 교회에서 벗어나 창의적인 기독교 교육활동을 할 수 있는 점이 강점이라고 할 수 있다. 앞으로 메타버스 기술은 제4차 산업기술이 발전함에 따라 다양하게 발전할 것으로 예상되므로 기독교교육에 다양하게 적용할 준비가 되어야 한다.
