Abstract

This study is intended to reconsider the poems of Lee-Sang as the text materials for high school literature textbooks through the revised curriculum revision of 2015. The authors of the literature textbook have been trying to select the appropriate poems for the textbook. Throughout this process, some poems selected for textbooks have come into the spotlight, while some poems have disappeared from the textbook. The three poems of Lee- Sang, 「Ogamdo」, 「the Mirror」and 「the Home」, were selected for the literature textbook more than once from the 4th Educational Curriculum Revision, when such literature has become an advanced optional subject, to the 2011 curriculum revision. Among the three works, 「the Mirror」 has been constantly chosen in the textbook. Since the curriculum revision in 2011, however, we have been unable to find any poems of Lee-Sang in the textbooks. A key change of the curriculum revision in 2011 is ‘the creative literature capability’ and ‘the communication with the community.’ ‘The creative acceptance and production,’ which had been emphasized since the 2009 curriculum revision, has developed into ‘training creative and well-rounded individuals’ with humanistic imagination and technologic creativity in the curriculum revision of 2015. In addition, how to appreciate poetry was previously limited to self-reflection. However, it has been expanded to the scope of ‘understanding others and communication’ and emphasis on the aspect of sharing critical ideas with communities since 2011. In the poems of Lee-Sang, the experimental elements from his personal experiences and his insight into the era are projected through the unique creative techniques. The imagination shown in the poems can be linked to the learner’s imagination and serve the foundation for thinking and expressing creative ideas. And it is meaningful to change self-anxiety based on the personal experiences into the delicate poetical languages because the learners can understand not only the beauty of literature but also other people, thereby developing their capabilities to communicate with the era. These educational effects coincide with the objective of literature education, and serve as the foundation to reconsider the beneficial aspects of the poetry of Lee-Sang in literature education.
