당위와 이상과 현실의 접점에서

Abstract

This article was written as a keynote paper in a planning presentation titled “Finding a New Way to Classical Literature as a Major Education of the University.” Although many educators have already suggested new ways to educate classical literature, discussions on this topic are repeated. This means that the problems arising from classical literature education are reasoned beyond the dimension of personal competence. I judged that the cause was the public’s demand for universities and changes in the social structure. In addition, the current situation and direction of classical literature education were viewed from three directions. These are the history of changes in Korea’s education curriculum period, curriculum opened in the Department of Korean Language and Literature, and the career environment of graduates. These are the development of thesis focusing on instructors, curriculum, and students, respectively. First of all, as a result of reviewing the trend of the education curriculum period, professors revealed that each generation has features. Therefore, it was desirable for senior professors to give lectures on basic subjects that expand the foundation of knowledge, and young professors to share education on the modern use of classical literature. Next, the curriculum of the Department of Korean Language and Literature at various universities was reviewed. As a result, it is recommended that basic subjects for knowledge acquisition and subjects for modern use be properly divided, and local universities need to study and lecture on literary works and writers created in the region. Finally, it emphasized the need to open subjects related to the career paths of graduates. This includes lectures on scenario creation and video production using classical literature contents. However, it was also emphasized that lectures on basic subjects should be emphasized in order to enter the education school, which is expected to be established soon. However, it should never be forgotten that the task of producing and accumulating knowledge through research and interpretation should be continuously carried out along with this division of roles. This article began with the character of suggesting the direction of classical literature education, not presenting examples of individual classes. Therefore, instead of suggesting a special plan for classical literature education, we had no choice but to discuss the framework in which classical literature education as a major education could be activated. Nevertheless, the most important secret to the success of classical literature education was the warm human relationships and harmony formed between the educational parties. This is because this is one of the basics necessary for education.
