뮤지컬 교육에 관한 국내 연구의 동향 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in musical theatre education research in Korea, published over the last 15 years(2009-2023) and to suggest directions for future research in this field. To achieve this, a search was conducted on the Research Information Sharing Service(RISS) using keywords such as 'musical theatre education' and 'musical theatre classes' for paper titles and de- tailed keyword searches. After removing duplicate and irrelevant articles, a total of 62 academic pa- pers, 11 doctoral dissertations, and 144 master's theses were selected as subjects for analysis. The analysis focused on external factors such as the year of publication, the field of academic journals, and the majors of researchers, as well as internal factors such as research topics, subjects, and methods. The results showed that over the 15-year period, research on musical theatre education has exhibited a generally increasing trend, although the extent of growth has been minimal. It was also observed that degrees in fields beyond performing arts and education, such as language, culture, and management, have produced dissertations on musical theatre education. The fields of academic jour- nals where research papers were published varied, including arts, education, literature, and contents industries. Three types of musical theatre education - specialized education, cultural arts education, and cross-curricular education utilizing musicals - were researched in similar proportions. The ma- jority of studies used literary materials as the subject of study, with students being the most frequent human subjects, Literature review was the most common research method, followed by ob- servational(case) studies and survey research. As musicals are increasingly utilized in various educa- tional fields, there is a need for more active scholarly research in musical theatre education. Research targeting diverse social and educational backgrounds and age groups should increase. Furthermore, research that applies and verifies the effects of education programs and learning models developed based on literature reviews on actual subjects is expected to contribute substantially to the development of musical theatre education in Korea.
