• However, current geography education in
Korea
- Without interdisciplinary approach, mainly 4
6. Geography Education
; Using Proper Learning Materials
• Quality of Geography Education – Depending on
Images, Pictures, Flashes and Video Clips so on.
• Learning Materials help learning geography more
effectively than any other subjects

7. Geography Education
; Using Proper Learning Materials
• However, current geography learning materials
– limited and ineffective
• Using Middle School Atlas – Passive Activities by
teacher, Not Active Activities by learners
→ lecture method instruction
• Overall Images of Learners about Middle School
Atlas - ‘Complicated and Boring’

11. Middle School Students
• Pinchemel (French Geographer) :
Age of ‘10 ~ 15’ - Can approach to formal geographical
notions
Age of ‘14 ~ 19’ - Can approach to academic geographical
notions
• Scarfe (Canadian Geographer)
Age of ‘12- 15’ – Stage of understanding geographical
relation.
Age of ‘15 – 18’ – Stage of induction, generalization and
11
synthesis
12. Middle School Students
• Piaget (Swiss psychologist) :
Age of ‘12-14’ (formal operational stage)
– Expanded spatial perception, Using coordinates,
Understanding spaces comprehensively.
12
13. Middle School Students
→ Academic approach to geography for the first
time.
Learners are active so that they lead learning.
Learning should follow constructivism
13
15. Theoretical
Constructivism
Background
• Geography Education – Cover our living
environment
• Learners think living environment
geographically – Consider contexts and
situations
→ Suitable for adopting
Constructivism
15
16. Theoretical
Revised Curriculum
Background
• 2009 Revised Curriculum
- Constructivism
- Learner-centered
- Smart learning
→ This trend will be continued in the future
education.

18. Learning Goal
Free-choice Informal Learning
• human geography → physical
geography
( Easy one
→
Difficult one )
human geography and physical
geography
18
19. Learning Goal
Free-choice Informal Learning
• Because more complicated in high
school, Physical geography, especially,
should be perfectly completed.
• Developing learners’ ability to think
geographically.

21. Augmented Reality Using Virtual
Cocoon
① Augmented Reality
- an artificial environment created through the
combination of real-world and computergenerated
data
- the technology functions by enhancing one’s
current
perception of reality
21
22. Augmented Reality Using Virtual
Cocoon
② Virtual Cocoon
- a proposed, in development virtual reality helmet
that
will allegedly stimulate all five of the human
senses
when it is finished
22
24. Augmented Reality Using Virtual
Cocoon
• Accepting Visual Information
• Accepting Haptic Information
24
25. Augmented Reality Using Virtual
Cocoon
• Through Virtual Cocoon, learners
can learn something they want to.
• During learning, leaners can interact
each other if they use same gadget.
• Teachers induce learners to learn
actively.
• Teachers could give team projects so
that they learn by constructivism.
25
27. Choosing Korean Festival
• Festivals that can show both human
geography with physical geography
• Learners can experience everything
that learned in class Climate, Culture, Architecture, Enviro
nment, Food and soil so on- with
their five senses.
27
29. Choosing Korean Festival
Yanggu Festival
Boryeong Mud
Festival
Coastal Landform
Suncheon Bay Reed Festival
Swamp and Reed
Using Mathematical Location
Taebaek-Mt. Snow Festival
Heavy Snow fall Region
Jinhae Naval Port Festival
Cherry-blossom and the Navy
29
30. Choosing Korean Festival
• many learners can enter at the
same time.
• Teachers could give team
assignment.
• Learners could learn geography
through games or field study.
30
32. Teacher as a scaffolder
• Teacher as humanware is marginal
-
Learners’ free choice is important.
Scaffolder
AR-Contents Maker
Facilitator inducing learners to enter the AR.

47. Consist of 7 learning contents
• Formation process of coal
• Sorts of coal and equipment
• Experiencing a vertical shaft
• Cold air shower in abandoned mine
• Production process of coal
• Making briquette

59. •
Problems of Current Geography
Education
Separating geography into human geography and
physical geography
• Learning physical geography first and human
geography later → Lack of link between two parts
• Limited learning materials – Mainly use ‘Middle
School Atlas’.
→ Not active, creative, but passive standardized
59
60. “OMG” for the Solution
• Integrating two geography -human geography and
physical geography → Full of link between two parts
• heuristic learning materials – Use ‘Augmented
Reality Using Virtual Cocoon’
• Learners can learn freely without seasons, time,
places limit
→ Active, creative and meaningful learning takes
place
