초록

`e-스포츠'에 대한 국가적인 관심증가는 경제적 효과와 동시에 사회적인 변화를 가져왔다. 또한 전문적으로 게임을 하는 집단인 '프로게이머'를 보유한 한국은 게임종주국으로서의 위상을 가지며 세계적인 관심 속에서 양적, 질적 성장을 거듭하고 있다. 이에 프로게이머를 사회적인 인적자원으로서 분류하고 체계적이고 이론적으로 정립할 필요성이 요구된다. 본 연구는 프로게이머들의 발달과 학습에 관한 이론적 모형을 제시하기 위하여 수행되었다. 모형은 수립은 근거이론 방법에 의한 자료분석에 의거하였다. 총 9명의 프로게이머 자료가 분석되었으며 3명의 전문가(감독, 컨설턴트)에 의해 모형 검증 및 수정의 단계를 거쳤다. 분석된 자료의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 프로게이머의 발달은 선형적 모형이 아닌 '단계(stage)'로 구분되는 형태를 나타낸다. 둘째, 'Enjoying', 'Struggling', 'Achieving', 'Slumping', 'Recovering'로 명명되어지는 각각의 단계는 학습방법과 동기적 측면, 교육과정, 동료와 상호작용 유형에 있어 고유한 속성을 가진다. 셋째, 기 명명된 5 단계는 유사한 속성에 따라 'Communicative Stage'와 'Practicing Stage'로 분류된다. Communicative Stage의 속성으로서 비구조화된 교육과정, 내재적 동기에 의한 학습형태, 수평적 관계에 의한 상호작용 형태가 나타났으며, Practicing Stage의 속성으로는 구조화된 교육과정, 외재적 동기에 의한 학습, 경쟁적, 수직적인 상호작용 유형이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 Pedagogy와 Andragogy를 비교한 Knowles(1980)의 이론적 분류를 통하여 선수관리의 방향점을 제안한다. 즉, 게임 전문가 집단으로서 프로게이머의 관리는 첫째, 제시된 모형에 의거 선수들의 상황을 적절하게 분석하는 과정을 필요로 한다. 둘째, 분석된 발달단계에 따른 적합하고 구체적 관리방법이 적용되어야 한다. 셋째, 선수들의 단계이동을 도모하기 위해서는 지엽적 훈련과정보다는 모형에 입각한 총체적이고 체계적인 접근이 필요하다.

The current interests in e-sports is being extended to the fields of education these days. Professional game players, so called as 'Pro-Gamers', therefore, should be recognized as human resource for education, and the theoretical foundation for them needs to be established. This study examines informal learning styles, motivation, and interactions among professional game players in South Korea. The aim of this grounded theory study is to discover the trajectory of professional game players' experiences and explain what properties and interactions they are facing depending on the stage of the trajectory. This study conceptualizes educational meaning within and across the society of StarCraft Pro-Gamers, providing suggestions for the management of human resource using models constructed. Data was analyzed by interviewing 1 consultant, 2 directors and 9 Pro-Gamers. By analyzing the data, this study explored what learning strategies Pro-Gamers construct and apply in their trajectory as Pro-Gamers. It includes how they organize learning, how they formulate their motivation and goals, how they cooperate and compete, what curricula they adapt, how they become one of the ace players overcoming their slump, and how informal education works in practice in the interaction among members of a StarCraft Pro-Gamer team. Finally, in this paper the stage theory was presented. It is argued that when the stage of the players shifts (Stage Shifting). It also brings changes to proficiency properties, emotional properties, interactional properties and educational properties related to each stage. Stages are categorized by five levels: Enjoying, Struggling, Achieving, Slumping, and Recovering. Although each stage has its own properties, the stages are grouped by two main properties, one of which is a Communicative Stage and the other is a Practicing Stage.
