Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the aspects of the materials of classical poetry in the high school Korean textbooks of the 2015 revised curriculum. In particular, it aims to check the current state of classical poetry education as reader-centered literature through the process of analyzing the achievement standards of the works and their learning activities. This study examined eleven high school Korean textbooks published by 8 publishing companies based on the 2015 revised curriculum.BR Based on achievement standards, the analysis of the classical poetry units showed the classical poetry education was still conceived in the dimension of ‘tradition of Korean literature.’ While all eleven textbooks set the ‘tradition of Korean literature’ as the standard of achievement in the classical poetry unit, only four textbooks included achievement standards related to reader-centered literature. In addition, ‘Korean Literature Tradition’ was set as an independent achievement standard in most of the units, but the achievement standard related to reader-centered literature was included only in the compound unit combined with ‘tradition of Korean literature’.BR On the other hand, the analysis of the classical poetry unit based on learning activities revealed that the main learning element of classical poetry is the ‘formal characteristics of the genre and method of projection’ and ‘tradition and traits of Korean classical poetry’. This means that the perception of classical poetry education still remains in ‘a knowledge dimension such as literary tradition and characteristics of the genre’ and ‘text and author-centered interpretation’ rather than ‘aesthetic literary experience formed by reader’s experience and reaction’.
