북한이탈청소년의 사회적응을 위한 미술교육프로그램 질적 연구: 고등학교 2학년을 중심으로

Abstract

The study examined the art education program for social adaptation of North Korean defectors with a qualitative research method in Korean society. The participants in the study were two North Korean defectors. The art education program was designed and executed by four step for both participants. Based on the results of this study, conclusions of the art education program for social adaptation of the North Korean defectors are as follows. First, it is an opportunity for the North Korean defectors to resolve the inner psychological uneasiness. They should adapt to the new culture without being able to deal with high stress during their entry to Korea. In this process, art education can serve as an opportunity for them to express feelings and thoughts. Second, it can help to establish self-identity and induce many conflicts in a positive direction. North Korean defectors, who are required to unilaterally adapt to new social culture, are confused by their own self-esteem and suffer from various problems. During this process, art education expressing emotions and thoughts can be a means of finding self-identity and positive thinking. Third, self-expression that conveys one's feelings to others can be increased and creativity can also be raised, which leads to willingness to learn and affects the attitude of life. As a result, it was revealed that the art education program focusing on social adaptation for North Korean defectors enabled them to find their own self, psychological stability, and gave them a positive view on living in Korean society. Therefore, it is expected that positive results will be provided if art education programs for the adaptation of the various arts are systematically supported with the purpose and role of art education, which will serve as a basis for establishing themselves as a member of Korean society.
