가상현실 제작 플랫폼을 활용한 생물 다양성 수업이 초등학생의 생물 다양성에 대한 지식·인식·태도 및 컴퓨팅 사고력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out how biodiversity class using virtual reality creation platform affect elementary school students' knowledge, awareness, attitudes of biodiversity and computational thinking. In order to conduct this study, 23 students in 1 class in 6th grade of A Elementary School in P Metropolitan City were selected as the research group. For the research group, 12 sessions of biodiversity classes were conducted using a virtual reality creation platform, and the results of pre-survey and post-survey on changes in knowledge, awareness, attitude of biodiversity and computational thinking were analyzed. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, it was found that biodiversity class using virtual reality creation platform had a significant effect on improving the knowledge, awareness, and attitude of biodiversity of elementary school students. It is judged that students' knowledge, perception, and attitude on biodiversity have improved by accessing more lively data rather than simple materials such as textbooks and books, rather than unilaterally conveying unilateral knowledge and attitudes to preserve biodiversity. Second, it was found that biodiversity classe using virtual reality creation platform had a significant effect on computing thinking of elementary school students. It is judged that students naturally improved computing thinking by using Cospaces, a virtual reality creation platform that can produce virtual reality based on coding, and by doing various coding related to biodiversity class. Third, as a result of analyzing the interview contents of the participating students in the biodiversity class using the virtual reality production platform, it is judged that the participating students were satisfied with the class, interested in the class, and actively participated in the class. Through the virtual reality creation platform, students participated in the class more actively and actively than usual classes, were interested in the class by accessing lively materials, and they were satisfied with the class by presenting the results they produced in virtual reality. Through these research results, it was found that biodiversity class using virtual reality creation platform have a positive effect on improving elementary school students' knowledge, awareness, attitude of biodiversity and computing thinking.
