The purpose of this study is, through synthesizing virtual information into the real world, to understand recognition of educators for infant and toddler about possibilities of Augmented Reality Picture Book Application to Sunday School Education, which provides adjunctive information uneasy from the reality.
This study also aims to present base line data in development of suitable and useful augmented reality picture book for infant and toddler education in faith. The subject of inquiries follows below:
1. Expectancy of augmented reality picture book application to Sunday school
education
1) What is the expectation level of Sunday school educators in application of
augmented reality picture book to infant and toddler?
2) Are there any differences of the educators’ expectation level by general
characteristics or individual experiences such as gender, age, position,
career, academic background, experience frequency of augmented reality and
so on?
2. Recognition of Sunday school educators for infant and toddler in augmented
reality existence
1) What is the recognition level of Sunday school educators in
application of augmented reality?
2) Are there any differences of the educators’ recognition level by general
characteristics or individual experiences such as gender, age, position,
career, academic background, experience frequency of augmented reality and
so on?
Is there any correlation between the educators’ recognition of augmented reality experience existence and expectancy about augmented reality picture book application to Sunday school education? If yes, what is the correlation like?
The objects of this study are 202 educators who teach infant and toddler in Sunday school located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do province which is capital area, and who responded to the survey of questionnaires based on Google survey.
And to measure expectancy of the infant and toddler educators about augmented picture book application to Sunday school education, it partially quoted and adapted ‘A Study on Expectation and Presence Factors of Augmented Reality Application of Special Education(Park Kyung Ok, Paik Jong Nam, Seo Sun Jin, Lee Yangwon, 2016)’ in alignment of this study purpose.
Regarding the cause analysis of augmented reality existence of the object, it employed measurement tools excercised in A study on the application of special education to augmented reality by designing draft items based on the researches of Yoon, Yong-pil (2010) and Dong-Jin (2013) (Park Kyung Ok, Baek Jong Nam, Seo Sun Jin, Lee Yangwon, 2016).
This collected data, by SPSS24.0 accomplished reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis and completed qualification of Scheffée as well.
This study presents the following major results:
First, the object educators’ expectation are mostly and highly positive and less concern in augmented reality picture book application to Sunday school education.
Second, regarding the recognition of the object educators about existence of augmented reality experience, the object educators show the highest awareness in factor, ‘pleasure’ out of all components, and then appear interaction, factuality, fulfilment, immersion, and accessibility in order.
Third, the correlation, between recognition of existence in augmented reality experience and expectancy of augmented reality picture book to Sunday school education, presents that positive expectation of the object educators follows the enough and high recognition level in pleasure, immersion, factuality, fulfilment, accessibility, and interaction. Based on this, when it examines the correlation of the object educators’ negative expectation, immersion to augmented reality also shows meaningful static correlation with the object educators’ concerns which means that their concerns are as high as immersion to augmented reality.
Frankly speaking, lack of understanding learning methods is a common fact especially in teaching methods responding demand of the trend by various technological development and its popularization and applying newly to Sunday school education field. Therefore, this study expects to provide further information, which is useful in teaching content development and utilization of Sunday school education based on augmented reality through study on the recognition of augmented reality picture book application to Sunday school and on possibilities of it as instructional media.
