Abstract

In this study, we developed a "Zetton Children's Traffic Safety Education" application using mixed reality to help children experience a variety of traffic situations indirectly and to help them defend themselves from accidents. We analyze the types of high mortality child traffic accidents to set learning goal. And we developed the experience-oriented contents that players could acquire signal systems and traffic information naturally and funny in the course of playing scenarios according to designed various traffic situations. In order to verify the educational effectiveness of the developed application, children were given traffic safety education through after-school education activities. The result shows that the frequency of right answers to questions related to traffic safety awareness and learning objectives is increased.

본 연구에서 우리는 혼합현실 애플리케이션을 활용해 어린이들에게 다양한 교통상황을 간접적으로 체험하게 하고, 사고의 위험에서 스스로 방어 행동을 할 수 있도록 도움을 주는 "Zetton 어린이 교통안전교육" 애플리케이션을 개발했다. 개발된 애플리케이션은 어린이 교통사고 중 사망률이 높은 사고 유형을 분석해 학습 목표를 정하였고, 목표 달성을 재미있게 체험을 할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 플레이어는 여러 교통상황을 정해진 시나리오를 플레이하는 과정에서 신호체계와 교통정보를 자연스럽게 습득할 수 있도록 체험 중심 콘텐츠가 되도록 개발하였다. 개발된 애플리케이션의 교육 효과성 검증을 위해 방과 후 교육 활동으로 어린이들에게 교통안전교육을 했다. 그 결과 교육 전보다 교육 후에 교통안전에 대한 인식과 학습 목표와 관련된 질문에 올바른 대답 빈도가 높아졌다.
