2015 개정 한문과 교육과정 ‘한문과 문화’ 영역 교수․학습 및 평가 방법 분석

Abstract

The achievement standards for the area 'Hanmun and Culture' in the 2015 revised curriculum are 'properly understanding our traditional culture included in Hanmun records and shaping an attitude that tries to take the culture as driving force of creation of new, future-oriented cultures', 'shaping an attitude that tries to promote a mutual under- standing and exchanges through a basic knowledge of the culture of the Chinese character cultural sphere'. Teaching and learning methods for the area should be specific ones for meeting these achievement standards. As for the statements for the teaching and learning methods for the 2015 revised curriculum, activities that are more specific and more useful in school practices compared to previous curriculums were presented. In addition, they deal with teaching and learning methods, things to remember, and even expected effects through ‘② Things to Remember'. The teaching- learning content for the area is supposed to include cultures that several other nations also have or that are different from those of the nations, the nations and Republic of Korea being connected through Republic of Korea's native culture that has come down to us and through Chinese characters. Most of the content used in the texts for the subject 'Classical Chinese' is related to the traditional culture. Therefore although the area is set as a separate one, in school classes achievement standards for both 'Hanmun’s Reading' and 'Hanmun and Culture' are met. Teaching and learning the Chinese character cultural sphere should aim to secure a basic knowledge needed for understanding each other and for living together as members of the same cultural area. Teaching and learning methods presented in the 2015 revised curriculum were understanding the traditional culture through a discussion and debate, depicting the traditional culture in the form of drawing, exploring the cultural heritage in terms of 'inheriting and developing the traditional culture'; under-standing the Chinese character cultural sphere through a discussion and debate, writing a linguistic dictionary and a cultural dictionary of the Chinese character cultural sphere, looking for examples of mutual exchanges in the Chinese character cultural sphere in terms of 'mutual understanding and exchanges in the Chinese character cultural sphere'. The classes for 'understanding the traditional culture through a discussion and debate' can be conducted through this method:'presenting a topic for the discussion and debate→presenting methods of describing the topic and collecting the preliminary materials→grouping→collecting preliminary materials for the group-based discussion and debate→having the group-based discussion and debate and organizing the content→each group's presentation and opinion exchanges'. The classes for 'depicting the traditional culture in the form of drawing' can be conducted through this method:'learning the content related to the traditional culture→depicting the content in the form of drawing→exhibiting the works and giving presentations'. The classes for 'exploring the cultural heritage' can be conducted through this method:'investigating the regional cultural heritage→writing an exploration plan→collecting materials for the exploration→exploring→writing an exploration report and giving a presentation'. The classes for 'understanding the Chinese character cultural sphere through a discussion and debate' can be conducted through this method:'presenting a topic for the discussion and debate→presenting methods of describing the topic and collecting the preliminary materials→grouping→collecting preliminary materials for the group-based discussion and debate→having the group- based discussion and debate and organizing the content→each group's presentation and opinion exchanges'. The classes for 'writing a linguistic dictionary and a cultural dictionary of the Chinese character cultural sphere' can be conducted through this method:'looking for the definition of the Chinese character cultural sphere→investigating the languages and cultures of the cultural sphere→summarizing the linguistic and cultural commonalities and differences→writing a linguistic dictionary and a cultural dictionary'. The classes for 'looking for examples of mutual exchanges in the Chinese character cultural sphere' can be conducted through this method:'looking for information about the nations in the cultural sphere→looking for examples of exchanges→presentations'. Teaching and learning for the area should be differentiated from other subjects through teaching and learning based on classical Chinese texts. Finding culture related texts that only contain the basic Chinese characters for Chinese classics education and including the texts in the textbook will be able to help effective teaching and learning for the area.
