초록

이 연구에서는 메타버스 플랫폼을 활용한 '생물과 환경' 단원 수업을 개발하고, 이 수업이 초등학생의 과학 흥미 및 과학에 대한 태도에 미치는 효과에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 서울특별시 Y초등학교 5학년 1개 학급 15명 학생을 실험집단, 다른 1개 학급 15명을 비교집단으로 구성하였다. 실험집단은 개발한 메타버스 플랫폼을 활용한 수업을 실시하였고, 비교집단은 교과서와 실험관찰 및 교사용 지도서에 따른 전통적 교수법에 따라 수업을 실시하였다. 각 집단은 과학 흥미, 과학에 대한 태도 검사지를 사전에 실시하였고, 수업 후 동일한 검사지를 사후에 실시한 후 결과 분석하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 메타버스 플랫폼을 활용하여 초등학교 과학 5학년 2학기 '생물과 환경' 단원의 수업 프로그램을 개발하였다. 둘째, 메타버스 플랫폼을 활용한 수업은 초등학생의 과학 흥미와 과학에 대한 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 다음과 같은 결과를 토대로, 메타버스를 활용한 '생물과 환경' 단원의 수업은 초등학생의 과학 흥미, 과학에 대한 태도에 효과적인 수업 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

This study aimed to develop the "Living Things and Environment" learning program based on a metaverse platform and determine its effect on "science interest" and "attitude toward science" in elementary school students. The study participants were 30 students of two 5th grade classes. The experimental group was designed to use the metaverse program during studying the "Living Things and Environment" unit. Furthermore, the comparison group was designed for general explanatory science classes with textbooks and the guide books of the teachers in the "Living Things and Environment" unit. The results of this study were as follows. First, the "Living Things and Environment" learning program was developed based on the metaverse platform. Second, this study found that the science class that used the metaverse program exerted positive effects on "science interest" and "attitude toward science" in elementary school students. Thus, the use of the learning program based on the metaverse platform is an effective method for "science interest" and "attitude toward science" in elementary school students.
