With the development of digital technology and the increasing demand for learning how to improve one's ability to solve problems through play and participation interactions, a variety of edutainment game contents are being developed. The edutainment game contents developed until recently have received a large number of contents for intelligence development and transfer of knowledge such as Korean and English mathematics for children and children. Recently, there have been various researches on the necessity and effect of STEAM education that foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit through the fusion education method among the subjects including science, technology, engineering, mathematics, And there is a growing need for the development of a parish suitable for STEAM education. However, there is a lack of STEAM educational content development that incorporates the technology of creative convergence talent training to develop talented people who can think and solve problems by crossing various academic boundaries. Therefore, this study develops game contents for early childhood education by combining STEAM education which foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit. And we designed and implemented STEAM game contents for infant learning education which can induce the interest of children and have fun by using gyroscope sensor of smartphone.

Due to the fast development of information technology, a variety of edutainment software has been used in the field of business education. One of them is Business Simulation Game that the business game domain and the information technology is definitely associated. A lot of business simulation game have been developed and used for many courses of colleges and corporate training in USA and EU. However, education program based on business simulation game has not been activated in Korea. This paper introduce a business simulation game developed by joint effort of business professors and a software firm for last three years and suggest the method of business education using this business simulation game. First of all, the development process, architecture and procedure of business simulation game are summarized. From a perspective of business education, the effect and advantage of business simulation game, sample syllabus, course outlines, users, missions and evaluation method are also addressed.

A lot of business simulation game have been developed and used for many courses of colleges and corporate training in USA and EU. However, education program based on business simulation game has not been activated in Korea. This paper examined the education effect of business simulation game. It was found that managers who were educated and trained with business simulation game were very satisfied with a business simulation game. Based on the statistical results, the method of business education using business simulation game was also suggested.

컴퓨터를 이용한 교육용소프트웨어인 코스웨어는 컴퓨터를 이용한 반복학습과 교사가 없이도 학습을 할 수 있다는 점에서 좋으나 학생에게 흥미를 유발하여 능동적인 교육을 하기에는 다소 부족한 점이 있다. 코스웨어와 게임의 결합인 교육용게임은 자발성, 흥미성, 교육성을 부여한다는 점에서 차별화를 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 미취학아동을 위한 기존 산수 교육용게임의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다.

라이프 스타일의 변화에 따라 게임을 즐기는 장소, 방법의 변화를 가지고 오면서 핸드폰으로 서비스되는 모바일 게임의 등장과 온라인 게임의 빠른 확산으로 인해 많은 게임 개발업체에서 온라인 게임의 시장성을 인식하여 개발을 진행하고 있어 새로운 컨텐츠의 전환이 필요한 시점이다. 2002년 게임 개발 장르의 조사에 따르면 액션게임(39％), 롤플레잉 게임(31％)이 많은 비중을 차지하고 에듀테인먼트 게임에 대한 개발 비중이 상대적으로 적은 편이다. 따라서 틈새시장을 공격하는 에듀테인먼트 게임의 개발에 대한 컨텐츠 연구가 필요하다. 그래서 본 연구는 온라인 게임의 사례를 통해 게임의 그래픽 요소, 게임 내용 요소, 교육적 요소를 분석하여 에듀테인먼트 기반의 온라인 게임에 대한 현황을 분석하였다.

As the prevalence of mobile platforms, expanding digital content production and also increasing interest about the serious game. However, existing educational serious games are short of application of educational function and lower effectiveness that not linked with off-line education. In this paper, we developed an educational serious game 'Rice-Mimi Adventure' for children based Tablet PC. The Games are designed five steps by four elements that storytelling, playing, music and cooking. Specially, players interaction between characters should be increase their own concentration and interest. For the effectiveness verification that linked education of on/off-line, experiment to 126 students of 3,4th grade in Choenan. A result shows positive data that on/off-line linked education using Tablet PC and effectiveness of game contents applied design factors. For this work, we should find effective class and teaching method using digital contents in off-line education for children.

In 21 century, Game industry became one field of the cultural content industries. Also, It is one of the most important technologies as a Multimedia, 3-D sound, virtual reality field, and character industry and its scale and effect are getting big. But Korea still lags behind America and Japan in developing game. For that, many support business progressed. However, Special importance〔emphasis〕 is attached to the developing of software engines. In the mean time, The game market of children(under 8) is the biggest one, which form over 30% of all the markets in the PC game market of America. The Children's game, which has both entertaining and educating, is a content-concerned industry. So with a short period of the developing time, they make a high value added. In this paper, 1 study the existing computer games and propose for game contents and the game factor's abstraction suited to the character by kid age. It is concluded that 'Asports', 'Asim,' 'U.J RPG', 'S＋RPG' are beneficial to the child growth on each stage, through serveys analysis of protocol, and research of the cjaracters of the growth on the each age.

With the recent development of medical technology, the diagnosis rate of type 1 diabetes is increasing and patients are increasing. However, diabetes education content is not aligned with the interest level of children. As a result of the interviews with experts, It was found that the measures of coping with the change of blood sugar and the behavior therapy require steady and repetitive learning. Therefore, this study proposes Edutainment content which can be repeatedly Learned by 10~11year old children. For effective learning, the contents of the laboratory practice were constructed and the hybrid method was used for the repetitive learning. Usability test showed that this configuration is effective. This study is expected to contribute to the study of diabetic education content that is suitable for the children's level of understanding which will be developed easily in the future.

The convergence of mobile communications and handheld computers offers the opportunity to develop technology that will assist individuals and groups to learn anytime, anywhere. In this thesis, we suggest a learning model for educational mobile contents, and implement a mobile contents for English vocabulary learning. The mobile contents consist of two parts: vocabulary learning and vocabulary evaluation. The vocabulary learning provides the mobile learner not only the display of English vocabulary but also the pronunciation of native speaker. The degree of learning achievement is evaluated by the quiz program of game style. Accordingly, the proposed prototype system for English vocabulary learning is designed and implemented, as an exemplar of personal mobile systems for edutainment mobile learning.
