This research examined the actual state of deaf students' use of Internet games by administering an Internet game addiction scale test to 201 deaf students from elementary, middle or high schools. The research findings indicated that middle and high school students were more likely to be left at home after school without their protector's presence than elementary school students. The average daily sleep hours of deaf students were similar to or fewer than those of general students, and the amount of their Internet access time and the one spent on Internet games were greater than that of non disabled students. As for the Internet user types, more male deaf students were categorized into risk user type than female deaf students, and the number of deaf risk user type students was significantly higher than that of non disabled risk user type students. The results suggest that the on-going national research on the actual state of Internet game users should include disabled students and that there is an urgent need to develop prevention programs of computer games overindulgence.

This study aims to investigate the influence of engagement of augmented reality game on immersion. The relationship between engagement and flow was examined through the mediating effects of emotional attachment and focus of attention on presence and the mediating effects of presence on flow. In order to verify the research hypothesis, online questionnaire was conducted with the consent of $Pok\acute{e}mon$ Go game user group. The questionnaire items were translated from the Augmented Reality Immersion Questionnaire. A total of 200 questionnaires were collected and used for analysis. Using the SPSS 23.0 program and the Mplus 7.0 program, the reliability of the scale was confirmed through the Cronbach's coefficient and the causal relationship and the mediating effects were verified by path analysis. As a result, there was no direct causal relationship between engagement and flow. However, causal relationship was evident when emotional attachment and focus of attention were mediated in the process of engagement in augmented reality game. In conclusion, systematic explanations of participant's emotional attachment and attentional state as a main factor in the process of participating in the augmented reality game involvement, reveal the elements to be noticed by the augmented reality game.

본 논문에서는 몰입이론을 기초로 멀티미디어 게임의 흡인요소를 분석하였다. 인지 및 감성을 고려한 흡인요소에는 22가지가 있었다. 이 흡인요소를 Roget 시소러스 (Roget Thesaurus)의 기저범주로 간주하였다. 이 기저범주를 바탕으로 참조정보를 이용하여 가까운 반경 안의 새주운 범주를 탐색하였다. 그 결과, 22가지 게임의 흡인요소 범주를 229가지로 세분화시킬 수 있음을 알았다.

This thesis analyzed the correlation between the psychological characteristics of adolescents and the use of games in the first year students of the national high school in 2016. The game is one of the representative entertainment industries in Korea and is an industry that has a great influence on becoming a powerhouse as cultural contents. However, games and immersion are expressed as a negative vocabulary of game addiction and are referred to as social problems and youth problems, and they give negative perception to the content of games. All users have the right to enjoy the content, but only negative words are used in poisonous games and they are packed as if they are social problems. In the present study, many emotional problems that were derived from previous studies were not related to game use in general adolescents. Through the questions related to 'depression', students who are not motivated or energy. The results of this study are as follows. First, the positive effects of game and youth emotional problems were derived through the conclusion that students who are active and emotionally bright are more likely to use game contents. This study was conducted to help change the social perception of the game positively by breaking the social fixed point of view that the emotionally troubled adolescents engage with the game and cause social problems.

본 논문에서는 수학에서 사용하는 소수(Prime number)를 찾는 원리에 대한 학습을 위한 게임 기반 학습(Game based learning) 콘텐츠인 Prime Miner라는 게임을 제안한다. Prime Miner는 게임이 가지고 있는 장점과 소수의 원리를 결합하여 게임을 통해 학습자의 흥미를 이끌어 학습에 몰입할 수 있도록 도우며, 학습자가 게임 규칙을 통해 소수의 원리를 합리적으로 배울 수 있도록 유도한다. 본 논문에서는 Prime Miner의 게임 원리와 학습자가 Prime Miner를 통해 소수 학습을 하는 방법을 설명한다. 또한 퍼즐게임에서 종종 발생하는 더 이상 게임을 진행할 수 없는 상태인 교착상태(Deadlock)를 피하기 위한 숫자 타일의 배치에 관한 방법도 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a GBL(Game Based Learning) content of intelligent tutoring capability. The objective of our GBL content is to learn the Karnaugh Map which is generally used to simplify boolean functions. Our GBL content well-motivates learners with interesting game-based scenarios and also, through an intelligent tutoring module, gives learners adaptive feedbacks such as hints and explanations while maintaining learners' contextual immersion. Additionally, we identified significant improvement in terms of learning effectiveness by analyzing the test results of two (experimental and controlled) student groups learning the Karnaugh Map.

This paper aims to explore the factors of learner's flow and to develop and validate a scale to measure the flow in Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game(MMORPG) for education. First of all, potential factors were drawn through literature review. The potential stage comprises 6 factors(learner's psychological characteristics, learner's skill, importance of game, environment for learner, instructional design, and instructional environment) and 16 subfactors. With total 48 items developed. a survey was carried out among 293 elementary learners who had been participating in a commercial MMORPG for English skills to measure their flow in the MMORPG by utilizing the potential scale. Using the responses collected from 288 respondents, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. The expository factor analysis showed that items within each sub-factors could be bound into one factor. That is, the variables evaluating learner's flow were divided into six factors(learner's psychological characteristics, learner's skill, importance of game, environment for learner, instructional design, and instructional environment). And these factors were interpreted consisting of 16 sub-ones. Reliability estimates indicated that the evaluation tool had good internal consistency. The confirmatory factor analysis did confirm the model suggested by the expository factor analysis. Over fit measures(CFI, NFI, NNFI) showed the good suitability of the model. Findings of this study confirmed the validity and reliability of the scale to measure learner's flow in MMORPG.

This paper presents an immersive multimodal Gumdo simulation game that allows a user to experience the whole body interaction with an intelligent cyber fencer. The proposed system consists of three modules: (i) a nondistracting multimodal interface with 3D vision and speech (ii) an intelligent cyber fencer and (iii) an immersive feedback by a big screen and sound. First, the multimodal Interface with 3D vision and speech allows a user to move around and to shout without distracting the user. Second, an intelligent cyber fencer provides the user with intelligent interactions by perception and reaction modules that are created by the analysis of real Gumdo game. Finally, an immersive audio-visual feedback by a big screen and sound effects helps a user experience an immersive interaction. The proposed system thus provides the user with an immersive Gumdo experience with the whole body movement. The suggested system can be applied to various applications such as education, exercise, art performance, etc.
