메타버스 플랫폼의 CSCL 도구 기능 분석과 요구 분석을 통한 협력 학습 도구 기능 적용 방안 탐색

초록

Purpose: Metaverse platforms are used in many ways to provide new learning experiences in digital environment. Our study aims to identify ways to utilize commercially-developed metaverse platforms in computer-supported collaborative learning, and to explore their possibility of use as a learning tool by identifying functions that needs to be improved significantly around users. Method: In order to utilize metaverse platforms as supporting tools, this study analyzed the functions of three metaverse platforms(Gather.town, ifland, and ZEPETO) based on Kirschner and Erkens' 3x3x3 framework. In addition, a survey of the performance and need was conducted among 143 college students, and and the survey data were analyzed with independent-sample t-test, Borich analysis, and the Locus for Focus model to identify user-centered functions of metaverse. Results: As a result, Gather.town meets most of 3 x 3 x 3 framework criteria, and social/metasocial, individual, interactive and representational measures appeared to be top priorities to be developed at user-level. Conclusion: In conclusion, although metaverse platforms appeared to be appropriate for supporting cognitive learning at team and community level, to enhance collaboration, it was necessary to develop a function to mutually control the team’s performance in real time.
