도덕교육에서 『이솝우화』의 활용 방안 연구

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the utilization of Aesop's Fables in moral education, with a focus on the revised 2022 elementary school moral education curriculum. Methods To this end, I would like to present the individual fables of Aesop’s Fables by linking the content system of the 2022 revised elementary school moral education curriculum. In addition, it was intended to provide information and reasons for fables to be careful when using Aesop’s Fables in elementary school moral subject education. Furthermore, in order to pursue the formality of moral development in moral education, I tried to illustrate major learning questions and simple utilization measures through Aesop’s Fables. Results Aesop’s Fables were related to 202 in the “Relationship with oneself” section, 85 in the “Relationship with Others,” 46 in the “Relation with Society and Community” section, and 25 in the “Relation with Nature” section, which is the content system for the 2022 revised elementary school moral education curriculum. In detail, Aesop’s Fables could be linked to 19 content systems of questions and achievement standards. In addition, from Aesop's fables, I was able to extract 192 fables to be careful about in terms of “sincerity”, “consideration”, “justice”, “responsibility”, which are the core values of the moral education curriculum, and “sexual ethics”. And, moral questions for each fable were proposed for an approach to the formality of moral development of moral education. Finally, I was able to select ‘Wolf and Dog’ fable and present some examples of using them as a formal approach to moral development. Conclusions Aesop's Fables, which has been used as a moral story resource for a long time, can be effectively utilized as a story material for the revised 2022 elementary school moral education curriculum's content system and achievement standards and approaches to moral development forms. However, caution should be taken regarding non-moral elements, and further detailed discussions on specific utilization strategies will be necessary in the future.
