게임에 대한 인식이 점차 그 유용성을 인정하는 쪽으로 변화 하면서 교육용 게임의 시장이 크게 성장하고 있다. 하지만 아직까지도 교육용 게임은 다른 장르의 게임에 비해 많이 활성화 되지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교육용 게임의 몰입에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석해보고 궁극적으로 게임 개발을 위해 어떠한 요인들이 초점을 맞추어야 할 것인가에 대한 방향을 제시 하고자 하며 향후 교육용 게임에 관한 연구 및 교육용 게임 산업에 도움이 되고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 확인하였다. 첫째, 교육용게임의 몰입에 있어 교육적 효과, 시나리오, 보상은 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 특히 감정적 몰입에는 교육적 효과와 보상이, 계산적 몰입에는 교육적 효과와 시나리오가 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 그래픽, 조작성은 교육용 게임의 몰입에 미치는 영향력을 확인하지 못하였다. 셋째, 교육용 게임에서 난이도가 너무 어려우면 감정적 몰입을 하는데 어려움을 준다.

본 연구는 청각장애인의 재활 훈련을 위한 모바일 기능성 게임 프로그램을 기획하였고, 청각 장애 아동의 특성과 청력 손실에 따른 분류를 알고 음성인식 기술을 적용하여 개발되었다. 본게임은 청각장애인의 재활훈련을 위해 발성훈련 및 발음교정을 하기 위한 미니게임으로 구성하였고, 모바일을 활용한 게임을 이용, 재활치료를 실시하여 재미있게 훈련을 할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

우리나라 사람 중 게임 경험이 있는 사람은 10명중 7명으로 이미 대표적 여가생활로 자리잡고 있다. 하지만 온라인게임에 대한 사회적 인식 및 환경 등은 이러한 성장속도를 따라가지 못하고 있으며, 게임에 대한 우리의 인식은 ‘게임 중독 vs 고부가가치 산업’이라는 두 가지 차원에서만 논의 되고 있다. 일방에서는 온라인게임이 우리나라가 경쟁력을 가진 막강한 콘텐츠산업 온라인게임의 강국임을 자랑한다. 다른 한편에서는 온라인게임을 유해매체로 규정, 이에 게임을 중독물로 규정하고, 게임업체를 중독자 양산 업체로 마약을 팔아 장사하는 것 이라며 게임산업을 폄하하고 있다. 게임관련 컨퍼런스나 개발자 포럼에 가면 중독이란 용어대신 과몰입으로 순화하고, 긍정적 요인을 강조한다. 하지만 업계가 원하는 사람은 중독자가 아닌 올바른 게이머, 즉 게임을 즐기면서도 삶을 충실히 하고 활동적으로 사는 사람들이다. 따라서 본 연구는 온라인게임에 있어서 과몰입에 영향을 미치는 탐색적 요인을 찾아보고 향후 온라인게임의 과몰입에 관한 연구 및 게임산업에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 실증분석결과 감각적 재미와 사회적 상호작용의 재미가 온라인게임 과몰입에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석 되었으며, 분석결과에 따른 시사점도 제공하였다.

급변하는 경제 환경 속에서 이렇다 할 부족자원이 없는 국내 여건 속에서 게임산업은 타 산업과 비교할 때 고도의 성장성을 가지고 있는 산업이다. 국내에 PC방 산업이 활성화되는 1998년부터 13년 동안 한국은 세계적인 게임산업 국가로 성장하였다. 해외진출 성공에 필요한 요소는 사업파트너 발굴을 통한 공동 사업추진, 사전준비 강화와 초기부담완화, 우수한 수익모델과 기술력을 갖춘 기업의 진출, 사회문화적 특성에 대한 이해, 현지 네트워크의 구축 및 활용 등이다. 본 연구를 통해 게임개발사가 국제시장에서도 통할 수 있는 핵심기술역량을 확보하도록 최선을 다하고, 아울러 일찍부터 국내시장에서 더 나아가 해외시장에서의 기회를 개척하기 위해 보다 적극적으로 노력하길 기대한다.
