This article examines the theoretical background and the case study about the use of science fiction as a tool for interdisciplinary research. Science fiction learning is also presented as part of a liberal arts course, with the possibility of designing the former as an independent course. Science fiction is a literary form that emerged with the rise of modern science and has made remarkable progress since the early 20th century. From the beginning of this genre, the possibility that science fiction could be used for various educational purposes has been predicted. Science fiction has already been part of the education in the West, and since the 1970s, its applicability to interdisciplinary education and the case studies about it have steadily increased. On the other hand, it was regarded in the past as children’s literature under “imaginative science fiction” in Korea. However, many universities in Korea are now using it as part of literary classes, and several liberal arts courses deal with science fiction, too. This study examines the outcomes of the classes of Never Let Me Go in the course called British and American Literature through Visual Media in order to explore the potential of science fiction for education. During a one-month period in a semester, the students studied the text of Never Let Me Go and its movie version dealing with human clones, as well as several science fiction works related to human creation. In this paper, the contents of the lectures and various class activities are examined. From the survey results, it is concluded that science fiction will be read by students in relation to bioethics, scientific education, and so on, and these data have been used to build a framework for designing an independent liberal arts course on science fiction.
Abstract
This article examines the theoretical background and the case study about the use of science fiction as a tool for interdisciplinary research. Science fiction learning is also presented as part of a liberal arts course, with the possibility of designing the former as an independent course. Science fiction is a literary form that emerged with the rise of modern science and has made remarkable progress since the early 20th century. From the beginning of this genre, the possibility that science fiction could be used for various educational purposes has been predicted. Science fiction has already been part of the education in the West, and since the 1970s, its applicability to interdisciplinary education and the case studies about it have steadily increased. On the other hand, it was regarded in the past as children’s literature under “imaginative science fiction” in Korea. However, many universities in Korea are now using it as part of literary classes, and several liberal arts courses deal with science fiction, too. This study examines the outcomes of the classes of Never Let Me Go in the course called British and American Literature through Visual Media in order to explore the potential of science fiction for education. During a one-month period in a semester, the students studied the text of Never Let Me Go and its movie version dealing with human clones, as well as several science fiction works related to human creation. In this paper, the contents of the lectures and various class activities are examined. From the survey results, it is concluded that science fiction will be read by students in relation to bioethics, scientific education, and so on, and these data have been used to build a framework for designing an independent liberal arts course on science fiction.
