Abstract

In this study I divided the development history of educational serious games into three periods. from 1995 to 2020 in Korea. I drew out some characteristics of each period. And I analyzed the correlation between the level of technology and learning effects or fun. so I found out some results. According to my analysis, the level of technology and learning effects and fun are not related to successful factors. While play style which is familiar and accessible to students like casual game has been commercially successful. It also confirmed that well-balanced games between fun and learning effects are a key factor in commercial success.

본 연구는 한국의 교육용 기능성 게임을 1995년부터 2020년까지 3개 시기로 구분하여 분석하고 그 특징을 도출하였다. 한국의 교육용 기능성 게임의 실패 원인을 사회적 환경, 제작 환경, 게임 디자인, 문화적 측면에서 나누어 분석하였고, 기술 수준과 학습 효과, 그리고 게임성과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 기술 수준과 재미, 교육적 효과에 의한 상관관계 분석을 통해 기술의 난이도, 게임의 플랫폼은 학습 효과와 상관이 없으며, 학생들에게 익숙하고 접근하기 쉬운 캐주얼 게임 방식, 그리고 재미와 학습효과 간에 균형을 잘 맞추는 것이 상업적 성공에 중요한 요인이라는 것을 확인하였다.
