디지털 미디어 이용자들의 대북한 인식 분석을 통한 평화리터러시 구축 방안 모색

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore ways to build Peace Literacy aimed at unification through the MZ generation's perception of North Korea on the TikTok platform. Unification education must change appropriately depending on the ones being educated and the times. The MZ generation, who grew up in a diverse digital media environment, has an increasing tendency to perceive North Korea as another country rather than as a nation, and the contents of video posts and comments also do not properly view and recognize North Korea. While many video posts introduce daily life in North Korea, comments express vague fears about war. The MZ generation is accustomed to using digital media to understand the world and solve social problems. Therefore, in order to educate the MZ generation about building peace on the Korean Peninsula, digital media should be used as an educational tool. For building Peace Literacy using digital media, first, objectivity must be guaranteed. Second, there must be a change in educational tools. Third, we need to think about what to teach. Peace Literacy with these components will enhance the ability to read, understand, and express(write) the international situation surrounding the Korean Peninsula. It is believed that the Peace Literacy program using digital media will be helpful in establishing unification policy and unification education program because it can be expanded not only to public education in schools but also to adolescents and young adults outside of school.
