아시아 전래동화의 비교를 통한 한국 문화교육-다문화가정 구성원을 대상으로

Abstract

Though it is not that there has never been no Korean education using traditional fairy tales so far, they mostly focus on the use of Korean traditional fairy tales and it gives ‘female married immigrants’ a lot of difficulties to understand and accept them unconditionally. Values and effects of educational application of Korean traditional fairy tales have already been proven by several researches, but there are considerable difficulties in applying them to education for ‘female married immigrants’ and ‘members of multicultural families’ who just began to live their lives as Koreans. Accordingly, this paper is intended to select traditional fairy tales which are comparable to Korean traditional fairy tales from countries where ‘female married immigrants’ came from, and to use common cultural elements to be compared with each other. In particular, common cultural elements such as ‘Value’, ‘Ordinary Life’, ‘Traditional Thought’ and ‘System’ were extracted, by comparing Asian traditional fairy tales with Koreans, and they were used for Korean culture education. Moreover, activities of culture education that members of multicultural families can join in together, were added to this process, in order to map out plans for learning language and culture together. Although the importance of culture education and the concern about female married immigrants have rapidly increased, culture eduction for them isn’t under active progress, compared to language education. In addition to the discussion on the necessity of common cultural elements as an expedient of culture education for female married immigrants, this paper considered a way of newly using Korean traditional fairy tales in education.
