국어교육의 새로운 내용론 - 학습의 본질 구현을 위한 초학문 융합 패러다임 설계 -

Abstract

Most educational researchers focus on transdisciplinary convergence education, an alternative to subject divisonalism or interdisciplinary education, in which all students solve problems independently. To realize the importance of this transdisciplinary convergence education, a brand new paradigm, which is present in moments of teaching and learning, should be designed considering essential learning features. Such trials can be made possible only in Korean language education. In other words, the paradigm should cover the elevation of the role of language in learning and increase learning potential in other subject domains with linguistic repertoires. Finally, these paradigm must be established by creating a new contents system in the Korean Language Education field. This new paradigm should set up the educational goal and contents in respect of linguistic and language development perspectives. The educational goal is to establish academic literacy as linguistically defined. The educational content provides metalanguages according to each students’ grade or school level, and students can use these when identifying problems. While abstract language enables elementary students to jump into the theoretical world, metaphoric language makes secondary students meet the technical world. ‘A new paradigm’ plays a key role in Korean Language Education. Furthermore, a new paradigm is essential in general educational theory for pre-service teachers in all subjects. The content of the new paradigm will thus create essential teaching and learning tools to help students and teachers freely inquire and navigate the rigorous contents-based world.
