Abstract

Safety accidents in the construction industry account for the highest percentage of all industries; and thus, it is encouraged to introduce a virtual reality (VR)-based experiential education system into the basic occupational safety and health training for construction as a way to solve the problem. However, there are some limitations such as a lack of competent workforce, and insufficient content and equipment for VR-based construction safety education. In this background, this study aimed to analyze the difference in learning effect between the CG-based experiential VR education (direct method, type B) and the existing photo-based audiovisual VR education (indirect method, type A), in which a CAMIL (Cognitive & Affective Model of Immersive Learning) theory was used as objective assessment tool. The learning effect of the direct education method (type B) was found to be superior to that of the indirect education method (type A) in terms of all areas in the CAMIL theory. It is expected that the VR-based experiential construction safety education will increase the learning effect of construction workers.

건설 산업에서 발생하는 안전사고는 전체 산업 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있으며, 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로서, 건설업 기초안전·보건교육 제도에 가상현실(Virtual Reality; VR) 기반 체험형 교육방식의 도입을 장려하고 있다. 하지만, VR 기반 건설안전교육을 수행하기 위한 컨텐츠 및 기자재 인프라 미흡, 전문인력 부족 등의 한계로 인해, 사진기반 VR 컨텐츠를 시청하는 방법(간접교육방식)이 주를 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는, CG기반 VR 컨텐츠를 체험하는 방법(직접교육방식, 유형 B)과 기존의 VR 시청교육(간접교육방식, 유형 A) 간의 학습효과 차이를 분석하였으며, CAMIL (Cognitive & Affective Model of Immersive Learning) 기반의 객관적인 평가도구를 활용하였다. 본 연구에서 수행한 t-test(평균차이 분석) 결과에 따르면, CAMIL 이론에 따른 4단계의 모든 영역에 있어서, VR 시청교육(간접교육방식) 대비하여 VR 체험교육(직접교육방식)의 학습효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해서, VR 기반 건설안전교육의 올바른 방법(시청교육이 아닌 체험교육)을 제시할 수 있었으며, VR 체험교육의 확대를 통해 건설근로자의 안전교육 학습효과를 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
