Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) has high potential to provide learners with rich learning experience based on a sense of presence and various interactions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of career education programs for the future society using VR. To this end, 29 third grade students were given an eight-session education program, and changes in their perception of career and their overall opinion on the program were examined. The results are as follows: First, the VR-based career experience program for the future society had a positive effect on changes in the students' self-understanding and their attitude and perception of career. Second, the study subjects showed high interest in and satisfaction with the VR-based career education program. The results of this study suggested the need for the extensive use of VR in career education, the development of content considering achievement criteria and learners' characteristics, and the establishment of VR learning environments.

가상현실(VR)은 실재감과 다양한 상호작용을 바탕으로 학습자에게 풍부한 학습 경험을 제공하는 높은 잠재력을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 VR 활용 미래사회 진로교육 프로그램의 효과를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 초등학교 3학년 29명을 대상으로 8 차시의 교육 프로그램을 적용한 후, 진로인식의 변화와 프로그램에 대한 전반적인 인식을 알아보았다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, VR 활용 미래사회 진로체험 프로그램은 자기 이해와 진로 태도에서의 진로인식 변화에 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 학습자들은 VR을 활용한 진로교육 프로그램에 높은 흥미도와 만족도를 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 진로교육에서 VR의 적극적 활용, 성취기준과 학습자의 특성을 고려한 콘텐츠 개발, VR 학습환경 구축의 필요성을 시사점으로 제시하였다.
