Abstract
This study aims at constructing primarily the educational contents of ancient poetic songs from the new perspective focusing on thinking and experience. The reason why I set up Gongmudohaga(公無渡河歌), Hwangjoga(黃鳥歌) and Gujiga(龜旨歌) in the ancient poetic songs as the targets of the research is based on the two following problems which I will mention later. Also, as I stand on the basis of the awareness of the problems, the main task of this study is demonstrating the value and meaning of the classic literature texts from the view of Korean language education. First, I found out the tendency that the classic literature has been seen and approached as the object of mechanical memorization and grasp rather than appreciation and empathy. Especially, the tendency of the ancient poetic songs is noticeable because of the distance. From the aspect of evaluation, this problem is confirmed again as those are excluded from the national assessment carried out recently. Second, the ancient poetic songs are included in a big difference in Korean textbooks and literature textbooks. Through analyzing teaching materials, I verified the cognition that the ancient poetic songs have significant value in the literary history but are not appropriate for the contents of Korean language education for Korean language ability. Thus, the result gave rise to the gap of including those works. In this study, under the awareness of above mentioned problems, I tried suggesting a new trend through the viewpoint of thinking and experience. To be more specific, I proposed two axes for designing educational contents such as ‘performance of human thinking through language’ and ‘experience of human problems by the media of language’. From the point of view of thinking, those works have education contents, for example, psychological solution through language, self-understanding through relative object and actualization of demand through calling-in. From the standpoint of experience, experiencing the general problems of human beings and the root of the human problems is the main contents.
