Development of a Balanced Liberal Arts Subject, ‘Book and Video Curation for the Growth of College Students’

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop ‘Book and Video Curation for the Growth of College Students’ as a subject within the field of balanced liberal arts area. Students of today's generation live in a busy environment where it is not easy for them to find and read recognized classics or to see visual versions of these works on their own. They are aware of the need, but it is all too easy for such classics to be deprioritized, and it is also difficult for students to judge and gauge what a good book is as opposed to one that is a “must-read.” In this context, this study is related to developing a book-and video-based liberal arts curriculum that can help college students develop their thinking skills and their academic capabilities from a holistic perspective. To this end, from 2023 to 2024, screen-selling works, books in curation and liberal arts subjects, and video-related journals were surveyed online from various angles, focusing on Google and Riss. The collected data were summarized and reflected in related prior research, research methods, and research results. Through this study, we hope that college students will be able to have a meaningful time reading their chosen books, reconfirming the work’s message through video, and developing the wherewithal to reflect upon and put into practice what they have learned.
