Abstract
Purpose of this study was to improve students' negative perception of 'difficulties' in science & engineering. a survey tool consisting of four questionnaire for research had developed. For the experiment, this study used the gamified contents and used to 58 students of A University in Chuncheon. According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the gamified contents influenced a positive in improving the negative perception of science & engineering. Based on the results of this study, we will discuss the sustainability of knowledge acquisition along with the improvement of negative perception of science & engineering.
