초등 EduCare 수업모델 운영사례 및 효과성 검증 - 디지털 모둠 상호작용 모형, 메타버스 기반 상호작용 모형 중심으로

Abstract

In the blended learning environment triggered by COVID-19, the educational community experienced a great deal of confusion and fatigue. This caused the class to focus on simply submitting assignments and delivering fragmentary knowledge, which created a disconnection between communication and interaction with students, who should be considered important. Parents and students are demanding strengthened pre and postclass care through communication and interaction. In response to this need, an EduCare model has been developed that combines online care elements with blended learning. As can be seen in the existing blended learning class cases and models, various techniques are applied to teaching and learning during class, but pre and postclass interactions are not considered in class design. There is a previous study applying the EduCare model to college students, but it was necessary to verify whether it was effective for elementary school students. As a result of developing and applying the class plan to elementary school students of the EduCare model’s digital-group interaction model and the metaverse-based interaction model, it was found to have a positive effect on the improvement of students’ agency, learning presence, and psychological well-being. The design of the EduCare model, which overcomes the blind spot of the existing blended learning, is presented as the cornerstone of the existing blended class model.
