Abstract

With the increasing popularity of computer games as a leisure activity, there has been a rise in the interest in the effectiveness of serious games. Many of the earlier researches are focused on evaluation of effects, types, developments of serious games, whereas little is known about the after effects of serious games. The aim of this paper is to examine the previous literatures on serious games in regard to their impacts and outcomes of gaming for the purpose of empirical evidence as impacts and outcomes are needed for exploratory study of variable outcomes of educational serious games. It is worth noting that current review would be used as an outcome indicator for verifying the after effects of both cognitive and educational after the usage of these educational serious games.

컴퓨터게임이 새로운 인기 레저활동으로 변화되고, 기능성게임에 대한 활용도가 높아짐에 따라서 이에 대한 효과성 검증이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 많은 연구들이 기능성게임의 효과 평가, 종류, 개발 등에 국한되어진 반면, 게임 활용이후 효과성을 실증적으로 검증하기 위한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 기능성 게임 효과에 대한 실증적 검증을 위하여 기존의 문헌연구에 사용된 효과성 검증에 사용된 성과 변수들을 분석하고, 특히 교육용 기능성게임의 효율적인 효과성검증을 위해 필요한 성과지표들은 어떠한 것들이 있는지에 대하여 알아보고자 한다. 이는 향후 게임사용 이 후 변화된 학습효과, 인지 효과 등을 검증하기 위한 성과지표로써 활용도가 높을 것으로 예상한다.
