Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a block type smart classroom model for comprehensive supply of educational contents, classroom environment and ICT technology in African countries where educational infrastructure is weak. It will provide a contextual solution that integrates learning management, power management, and classroom environment management systems, and will be a convergence model that can optimize economic and non-economic conditions for different African countries. It can be expected to enhance utilization as it is a differentiated model from existing classrooms with a single container, as well as independent research and development centered on services, content, and solutions. Through this integrated research process, we can overcome the spatial and functional limitations appearing in single container classrooms and build a flexible space for advanced e-learning technology. The depth and scope of the follow-up study can be carried by investigating the performance and models that are in line with the educational and infrastructure conditions of the various regions.

본 연구는 교육인프라가 취약한 아프리카 국가들의 교육 콘텐츠, 교실환경, 그리고 ICT기술에 대한 종합적인 보급을 위한 블록형 스마트교실 모델 제시를 목표로 한다. 수업관리시스템, 전력관리시스템 및 교실환경 관리시스템을 통합하는 상황별 솔루션을 제시하고, 아프리카 지역의 국가별 경제적, 비경제적 여건에 최적화가 가능한 융합 모델이 될 것이다. 이는 기존의 서비스, 콘텐츠, 솔루션에 대한 독립적 연구개발이나 단일 컨테이너로 보급된 기존교실과는 차별화되는 효율적인 모델이 될 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 통합 연구 과정을 통해 기존 컨테이너교실에서 나타나는 공간과 기능적 한계를 극복하고 이러닝 기술 고도화에 대비한 융통성 있는 공간을 구축한다. 향후 보다 다양한 지역의 교육 및 인프라 여건에 부합하는 성능과 모델에 대한 탐구로 후속 연구의 깊이와 범위의 확장이 가능할 것이다.
