Abstract

In industrial sites, experiential virtual training contents are partially used to replace high-risk and high-cost training, and virtual training contents development is also becoming active along with the increasing demand for non-face-to-face industries. Existing studies mainly focused on quantitative research through surveys, and only measured the change in users' learning commitment. This study attempted to investigate the effect of the combination of theoretical education and virtual training on the improvement of actual job performance in a dual vocational training environment by conducting an experimental study. This study studied whether the combination of theoretical education and virtual training can improve the performance of vocational training in dual vocational training (comparative work and learning) in which companies and schools participate. The results of pre- and post-evaluation of vocational training using traditional vocational training and virtual training contents were compared with 24 vocational training trainees. As a result of the study, it was demonstrated that the outcome of virtual training education was higher than that of traditional vocational training, and the combination of virtual reality-based education was more effective in theoretical education. This study suggests that the virtual training content presents a new paradigm for industrial safety education, and through the interview results of trainees, it was confirmed that virtual training can lead to a change in attitude toward safety beyond just knowledge transfer. This contributes to the prevention of safety accidents in industrial sites and provides important implications for improving the quality of vocational training.

산업현장에서 체험형 가상훈련 콘텐츠는 고위험, 고비용의 훈련을 대체하기 위해 일부 활용되기도 하고, 비대면 산업의 수요 증가와 함께 가상훈련 콘텐츠 개발도 활발해지고 있다. 기존 연구들은 주로 설문조사를 통한 양적 연구에 집중하여 이용자의 학습 몰입 변화를 측정하는 데 그쳤다. 본 연구는 이원적 직업훈련 환경에서 이론 교육과 가상훈련의 결합이 실제 직무 수행능력 향상에 미치는 영향을 실험연구를 수행하여 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 기업과 학교를 오가며 참여하게 되는 이원적 직업훈련(일과 학습을 병행)에서 이론교육과 가상훈련의 결합이 직업훈련의 성과를 높일 수 있는지에 대해 연구하였다. 직업훈련 교육생 기계과 24명을 대상으로 전통적인 직업훈련과 가상훈련 콘텐츠를 활용한 직업훈련에 대한 사전사후 평가결과를 비교하였다. 연구결과, 전통적인 직업훈련에 비해 가상훈련 방식의 교육의 성과가 더 높으며, 이론적인 교육에 가상현실 기반 교육의 결합이 더 효과적임을 실증하였다. 본 연구에서는 가상훈련 콘텐츠가 산업 안전 교육의 새로운 패러다임을 제시하고 있음을 시사하며, 훈련생들의 인터뷰 결과를 통해 가상훈련이 단순히 지식 전달을 넘어, 안전에 대한 태도 변화를 이끌어낼 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 산업 현장의 안전 사고 예방에 기여하고, 직업 훈련의 질적 향상을 위한 중요한 시사점을 제공한다.
