Description

A system for education using game and a method

The present invention relates to an educational system and an educational method using a game, and more particularly, an educational system and an education system that can systematically learn by solving problems that are organically coupled with learning contents while a user follows a certain story structure. It is about a method.

The present invention relates to an education system suitable for the concept of edutainment that induces the user to achieve the learning objectives of the subject in stages.

Conventional educational multimedia programs were mainly concentrated on early childhood multimedia titles. However, these educational programs were not only limited to infant products in educational contents and materials, but also had a limitation that the tasks were too comprehensive to be appropriate for progressive learning.

In addition, the multimedia textbooks provided for the curriculum were far from the concept of edutainment. And because most of the materials consist of images, simple videos, and texts that are covered in the curriculum, the data is unilateral and interesting and interactive that encourages students to learn and induce active participation and discussion. There was a disadvantage that it is not suitable as a textbook.

The present invention is to solve such a problem, the purpose is to allow users to fully digest the learning content of the field while playing the game. In other words, the present invention allows the user to achieve the learning goal step by step while maintaining the user's interest because each step achievement is converged into a game with a single story line.

To this end, the present invention allows the game and the multimedia learning to be performed in parallel, so that it is possible to simultaneously acquire a knowledge of the corresponding learning field and perform comprehensive and repetitive training on the acquired knowledge. It is a fun adventure game format that design three learning areas (animation presented in animation, mini game that transforms learning contents into problem solving situation, and multimedia lecture) in a three-dimensional manner and a question bank that covers various levels of problems. It is possible by applying.

1 is a flow chart showing the progress of the game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the present invention, each unit of the subject to be learned is composed of episodes (eg episodes), mini games, and multimedia lectures (tutorials), and these three components work organically to achieve effective learning. Each unit implemented in this way is placed in the adventure game according to the learning progress.

In the present invention, by integrating each unit according to the curriculum according to the storyline of the dramatic structure to the story of the dramatic structure, it causes learning motivation and gives appropriate rewards according to performance. To this end, the user is given a large mission that covers the entire game, and the user runs an adventure to complete the mission. The adventure consists of a series of problem situations to be solved by the user, and these problem situations proceed in the form of minigames. That is, the user is given a goal to be achieved in the mini game for each learning unit.

Through this, the user is motivated to learn and receives a predetermined reward when the goal is achieved. Passing a game with a certain level of score in a minigame solves the first presented problems and allows the user to continue the story. In the present invention, since each unit to be learned is arranged in the storyline, the user does not feel bored and can learn the content in a specific situation in a realistic situation.

In addition, episodes inserted in the form of animations in various parts of the storyline convey the contents to be learned in each unit through fun and real-life examples, and these episodes provide clues to the next minigame.

The mini-game presented as a problem-solving situation in the storyline actively applies the learning concepts learned in episodes, while allowing you to learn the meaning and use of the concepts simultaneously. Minigames can also be tried over and over again, which helps in mastering the learning content.

The tutorial, which delivers the contents of the unit to be learned at a glance through multimedia lectures, uses diagrams, pictures, and videos in addition to voice lectures, so that users can quickly understand the contents of learning and remember them for a long time. If the user did not get a clue of the minigame through the episode or wants to refer to the tutorial, the user can refer to the tutorial during the minigame.

In the present invention, even if the user has played the game more than once, in order to maintain interest in the game, a multi-ending technique is used to construct a plot having a plurality of scenarios so that different endings can be seen each time the game is played. It also allows you to see different endings, depending on the difficulty of the game and the points you earn.

The user can select the level of the game and the difficulty of the problem that is appropriate for his level. The level of the game refers to the overall difficulty of the game, and the difficulty of the problem refers to the difficulty of the problems presented through the minigame. The overall difficulty of the game is adjusted by the difficulty of the problems selected in the question bank, or by the complexity of the process of solving the game and the presence of hints.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
