구상구조를 보이는무주 구상편마암은 전북 무주군 왕정리일대에 분포하는 정편마암인 함전기석 복운모 화강편마암내에 배태되어 있다. 구상구조는 구상편마암의 기원암인 화강암내에 포획된 이질암이 변성분화작용을 받아 생성된 것으로 사료된다. 구상편마암은 각의 발달이 없는 초생암구로 구성된 TypeI의 암구와 각의 발딜이 있는 TypeII로 구분이 가능하다. TypeII는 단각암구와 다각암구 그리고 핵의 구조에 따라 다양한 형태로 나눌수 이TEk. 구성암은 내핵, 외학, 각, 그리고 기질부로 구성된다. 핵의 장경은 보통 5cm 내지 8cm이며 구형 또는 타원형의 행태로 암구으 중심부를 이루고 있다. 핵의 화학성분은 $Al_2O_3$, total $Fe_2O_3$, MgO, $K_2O$ LREE가 풍부하고 반대로 $Na_2O$, CaO, HREE가 결정된 것이 특징이며, 핵을 주로 구성하는 변성광물은 근청석-규선석-흑운모-올리고클레이스이다. 각은 운모류의 우혹질 각과 장석류의 우백질 각으로 구분되며 수mm내지 수cm의 두께를 이루며 단일각 내지 다각구조를 이루고 있다. 이들은 핵에 비하여 $Na_2O$, CaO가 상대적으로 부화되고 있으며 기질부를 이루는 화강편마암의 조성과 유사하다. 기지루는 반상변정질로 되어 있고 장석 반상변정의 크기는 대략 2내지 3 mm의 크기로 구성되어 있으며 부수적으로 운모류와 소량의 전기석과 규선석이 존재한다. 또한 후기에 유입된 많은 유체들에 의한 후퇴변성작용의 영향으로 장석은 견운모화내지 전기석화되고, 근청석은 피나이트화 되었다.

Orbicular granite gneisses occur as a xenolith within two-mica leucogranites, together with early Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary xenoliths, in Wangjeong-ri, Muju area. The whole-rock chemistries and SHRIMP zircon Pb/U ages of the leucogranites indicate that they are S-type granitoids formed in the continental tectonic setting at $1875{\pm}75$ Ma. The SHRIMP age of monazites from the orbicular granite gneiss gives $1867{\pm}4$ Ma as a metamorphic age which is similar to the intrusion age of the two-mica leucogranite within the error range. The similar ages between zircons and monazites represent that the orbicular granite gneisses formed by metamorphism during the intrusion of the two-mica leucogranite; the metasedimetary xenoliths which sank within the parent magma of leucogranites were metamorphosed into orbicular granite gneisses by thermal metamorphism ($650-740^{\circ}C$, 4-6.5 kbar) due to the heat supplied from surrounding magma. During the thermal metamorphism, the core of orbicular granite gneiss mainly consisting of cordierite formed, and in some orbicular granitic gneisses, the leucocratic melt formed by melting of quartz and plagioclase in the core, squeezed out from core and crystallized around the core forming outer rim. The hydrothermal fluid at the late stage of magma differentiation penetrated into the orbicular granite gneisses resulting pinitization of cordierite into chlorite and sericite. As Muju orbicula granite gneiss was formed from sedimentary rocks, it is more appropriate to be called Muju orbicula granitic gneiss.

This study developed a geological virtual reality-based field trip (VFT) to find an alternative to replace the actual field trip, which is often considered lightly by students owing to difficulties in the school. For this purpose, we selected a total of five geological learning sites that focus on the Mt. Jeoksang Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Korea by evaluating the contents of the curriculum and the possibility of developing a VFT. The developed VFT provided middle-school students with an interactive space to observe and explore rocks and geological structures, including orbicular granite gneiss, tuff, conglomerate, sandstone, stratification, and joints. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the 1st-grade middle-school students to evaluate the educational value of the VFT. The responses of the students were analyzed using semantic network analysis to understand the significance of relationships between the reaction words. Results show that the students were able to sense reality through the VFT, which enabled them to understand and remember the characteristics of rocks. Therefore, students can indirectly have a sense of reality of an outdoor experience through the VFT program, which positively influences their learning. Our study shows that VFT can be effectively utilized as a meaningful learning resource in schools.
