학교교육의 변화에 대응하는 아동문학교육의 방향

Abstract

The elementary school period, which can be said to be the beginning of literature education, makes children interested in literature and is very important as the starting point of lifelong education aimed at making literature a part of life. The direction of children's literature education according to changes in school education in the future society has been analyzed in this article. First, as a result of examining children's literature education in the transition of the Korean language curriculum, it has not been able to approach the essence and purpose of children's literature education in earnest, but has focused on improving language skills. In other words, there is a lack of in-depth understanding and appreciation guidance of the work. Children's literature education should focus on appreciation and expression, and above all, it should be education through emotion. Education is inevitably emphasized because literature education is conducted in the Korean language curriculum, but future children's literature education should be shifted to a balance between "literature" and "education" based on the specificity and uniqueness of children's literature. In the era of digital multi-media, many changes are taking place in literature education in schools due to the use of complex media formats, the establishment of a smart educational environment, and the use of digital devices, but the purpose of literature education that grows and changes students' reason and sensibility into a whole human being by cultivating them in harmony will not change much. Children's literature education should make children realize the value of human life based on the literary and artistic nature of the work, understand others, develop their imagination, and cultivate their emotions.
