해양정보를 활용한 기후변화 환경교육 콘텐츠 개발 연구

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is focused on the development of environmental educational content to climate change by using marine information. The results of this study are to provide students with an in-depth understanding of climate change and marine environments, thereby laying a foundation for a sustainable future and the development of advanced citizenship. This study developed 3D simulators to allow users to experience sea level rise, serving as educational content. These tools are expected to contribute to students' awareness of the severity of climate change and their active participation in solving environmental problems. This study includes the design of parameters, functionalities, and scenarios of the sea level rise simulator based on the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report. The educational content developed in this study is designed to enable students to indirectly experience and understand the actual impacts of climate change. Specifically, students learn about sea level rise, experience it in a virtual environment through the simulator, and express their thoughts through activities such as drawing, article writing, and presentations. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the developed educational content through pilot education targeting lower elementary school students. The results of this study present a new approach to the fusion of science and technology with humanities through the development of educational content utilizing marine information. This approach broadens our perspective on marine science and life, enhancing awareness of climate change and leading to concrete behavioral changes towards a sustainable future. Moreover, This study aims to expand the application of marine information, open up new possibilities in the field of education, and significantly contribute to forming a responsible attitude towards a sustainable environments in future generations.
