도덕적 상상력에 기초한 도덕과 통일교육 내용 적용 연구

Abstract

This study discusses the role of moral imagination in unification education, and based on this, it attempts to present the actuality of the lessons using moral imagination in unification education. Through this, this study suggests that in unification education, it is necessary to try an approach based on imagination that calls for attention to public life, rather than a cognitive approach and the approach based on utility and benefit. One of the reasons for such an attempt is that students’ interest in both unification and the necessity of unification in their daily lives is gradually decreasing. Therefore, in moral education, the unification class needs to first suggest what the issue of unification means to students’ lives, and it also needs to take an indirect approach to encourage students to participate in public life. For this approach, this study proposes the following two directions. One is to acquire the experience of reconstructing the life of the community with others through imagination; the other is to devise a plan for unification education that focuses on expanding imagination through reading literature.
