한국에서의 문화교육, 예술교육, 그리고 문화예술교육의 관계 변모

Abstract

The munhwa-yesul kyoyuk (Cultural Arts Education) in Korea is known as the combination of munhwa kyoyuk (Cultural Education) and yesul kyoyuk (Arts Education). The process of combining these two elements, munhwa kyoyuk and yesul kyoyuk, shows unique integration and separation on each stage. Munhwa kyoyuk and yesul kyoyuk were not separated each other at first. The concept of Munhwa kyoyuk in Korea, consulting Concept for Cultural Education- Positions and Recommendations published by the German Cultural Council, included the established genres of the arts in it at first. The terms Munhwa kyoyuk, yesul kyoyuk, and munhwa-yesul kyoyuk meant the same in the documents of the governments under President Kim Young-sam and the early stage of the President Kim Dae-jung’s rule. As the understanding of the concept of culture in its wide meaning--as the ways of human behavior and practice--became dominated, Munhwa kyoyuk and yesul kyoyuk became separated from each other in Korea. The documents published during the later stages of the Kim Dae-jung government showed such a tendency. Munhwa kyoyuk and yesul kyoyuk come to be integrated in the policies by the Roh Moo-Hyun government and form munhwa-yesul kyoyuk. Understanding the relations among Munhwa kyoyuk, yesul kyoyuk, and munhwa- yesul kyoyuk lets one realize that the munhwa-yesul kyoyuk in Korea has a flexible concept in which various elements and practices can be included. Therefore, whether they are the established genres of the arts or any integrated forms of arts which deconstruct the genres, all the practices in the current munhwa-yesul kyoyuk can be considered positive and desirable.
