미디어 플랫폼의 다양화로 인하여 다양한 교육방법이 시도되고 있으며, 특히 교육용기능성게임은 G-learning 베이스로 새로운 교육방법으로 제시되고 있다. 하지만 "게임"이라는 부정적 인식으로 인하여 저변확대가 이루어지고 있지 않다. 게임을 즐기고 자라난 게임세대들에 대한 인식전환과 교육용 기능성게임에 대한 교육적 효과검증을 통하여 교육용 기능성게임을 새로운 교육방법으로 활용하기 위하여는 사회적 인식전환과 저변확대가 우선순위이다. 이를 위하여는 일반인들에게 교육용기능성게임을 알릴 수 있는 대회를 활성화하여 인식의 전환과 효과를 직접 체험할 수 있도록 해야한다. 이를 위하여 국내외 교육용 기능성게임대를 분석하고 활성화 방안을 모색하여 새로운 교육패러다임전환에 기여할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이는 향후 국내 교육용 기능성게임 유저를 확산시켜줄 뿐만 아니라, 새로운 교육적 방법으로 활용할 수 있는 계기를 제시할 것으로 보인다.

In recent times, a trend has emerged which rejects negative elements such as violence and gambling associated with games, and emphasizes positive functions such as academic study, which is a desirable phenomenon. Serious games have great potential and unlimited boundaries in their scope, and need much study and research from various perspectives. Especially today, in enhancing the national image of Korea with "Korean games" for the next generation, creative storytelling is urgently required.

To do an experimental analysis in this paper, we divided two non-equivalent control groups, such as pre and post test groups for difference listening types by serious game contents. From these test groups, we can achieve the most ability of its activity quotient (ACQ) effect is a phonic type and the next one is an aural type. The purpose of this paper is focused on the quantitative analysis of the human's brain quotient (BQ) derived from serious educational game contents.

Many of recent studies have suggested various positive outcomes of serious games. However, relatively little emphasis has been placed on the roles of user-centered factors from a psychological perspective. One of the main goals of serious games is the change of the user's perception and behavior towards a positive direction. To achieve this goal, psychological factors should be applied to the user's playing process in serious games. Inspired by construal-level theory(CLT), we propose a CLT applied model (CLT in process-outcome serious games model) considering psychological factors on the player's decision making. The model will be useful not only to game developers or designers but also to game researchers as a valuable tool in persuasion and learning for serious game users.

Recently, systematic research on the brain has been conducted and BCI(Brain -Computer Interface) technology applying electroencephalogram has been actively researched. Especially, serious game technology using BCI device has been the subject of interest. This paper develops a "twosome collaboration dance game," which is a serious game that takes advantage of NeuroSky's SDK(System Development Kit) and helps developing the spirit of team work and sociality based on attention and meditation, unlike existing single player games. We expect that this game will help to visualize brain functions of people and to cure ADHD children and the elderly people with MCI(Mild Cognitive Disorder). It is also expected to play a role of social catalyst to the game culture of the adolescent.
