메타버스 기반 교육 시스템 제고를 위한 온라인 교육의 효과 분석

Abstract

As we enter the information age, digital-based technologies such as the Internet of Things, IoT, and artificial intelligence are rapidly changing. The rapid changes in digital technology have integrated into parts that are closely related to our lives, such as self-driving cars and serving robots. As the Covid-19 infection spread, non-face-to-face activities were forced in all industrial fields, including society and the economy, further accelerating the development of digital-based technology. In the field of education, non-face-to-face education began, opening the era of online education. However, the sudden start of online education showed clear limitations in two-way communication between instructors and learners and learners. This lowered learners' motivation to learn, such as their sense of immersion and persistence in learning, and as a result, increased the weight of the challenges that our country's education system must overcome, such as lack of basic academic ability and learning gaps. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve the metaverse-based education system by analyzing the effectiveness and limitations of online education. Therefore, through interviews with a group of experts, we analyzed the effectiveness and limitations of existing online education and explored the possibility of using Metaverse for online education. In addition, to achieve the research purpose, cases of Metaverse-based education program development and actual education cases were analyzed considering the connection between the Metaverse platform and teaching and learning methods. As a result of the study, it is expected that metaverse-based online education will have a positive impact on learning immersion and learning persistence by establishing a two-way communication channel to promote meaningful learning and attract learners' interest.
