고등학교 『국어』 및 『문학』 관련 교과서에 수록된 <양반전>의 양상과 특징

Abstract

“Yangbanjeon" is one of classical novels that were most often included inthe Korean language and literary textbooks of high school. When textbooksare compiled, literary works to be included are selected from three differentperspectives: whether it can be regarded as Korean literature or not,whether practical science is reflected in it or not, and whether it can helpreaders to look at reality from diverse angles or not. “Yangbanjeon" hadn't initially been considered to belong to the categoryof Korean literature when it's first included in a textbook since it waswritten in Sino-Korean. Afterwards, the sphere of Korean literature wasmore extended, and this work was included in textbooks as Koreanliterature. The thought of practical science was considered very important whenthis work was explained as part of textbooks, and an analysis of this workmade it possible to shed light on the internal development of the JoseonDynasty through practical science and the modernity of that era. There were slight differences among textbooks in the way of dealingwith how this work viewed reality. Some textbooks explained that thiswork criticized the upper classes of old Korea and emphasized the necessityof their awakening, and others criticized the merchant classes and stressed the necessity of their awakening or were concerned with the documents ofthe upper classes. It's possible to find out the changes of social awareness of Park Ji-wonand this work when the aspects and characteristics of this work intextbooks are analyzed, and the way learners look at this work is likely todepend on which textbook their schools choose.
