자유학기제를 위한 진주검무의 교육콘텐츠 연구

Abstract

The free semester system was operated by the Ministry of Education-designated test operation school in 2013, and as of 2016, this system got to be implemented at the middle schools around the country. The free semester system aims to build up one’s dream and talent through career exploration activity and diverse experience activity away from the burdens of taking an examination for one semester among the middle school curriculum.
 With the addition of ‘Creative Experience Activity’ to the 2009 curriculum, the code ‘Creativity’ was highlighted, but practical creative education wasn’t realized. To overcome such a limit, what was suggested at a national level was the very “Free Semester System.”
 In case of a school which put the free semester system into practice in 2015, unlike the fundamental purpose of this system, there were many cases where the programs, which were conducted in a club activity and after-school activity, were extended as the free semester system.
 The education which can serve to develop a potential talent through the free semester system is no other than arts education, and among others, the educational field stands in need of experience and education of the national intangible cultural heritages.
 It’s because the national intangible cultural heritages provide diverse elements which can be used as educational contents as they cherish our people’s identity, historicity and cultural prototype. At present, the transmission of intangible cultural heritages is in good progress, but they have not been properly used as cultural heritages which arouse sympathy between generations, and have the property of realism(presentness). In order for intangible cultural heritages not to be the heritages in the past, the existing cultural heritages should be recreated as the present ones through education contents. This researcher is intending to propose Jinju Sword Dance education contents which are suited for the free semester system on the basis of the experience in teaching the National Intangible Cultural Property No. 12, Jinju Sword Dance.
