2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 중·고등 『국어』, 『문학』 교과서 수록 설화의 여성 형상화 방식과 그 교육의 문제

Abstract

Ahead of the revision of the 2022 curriculum, this paper discusses the future direction of folktale education by examining the current status of female imagery methods and educational contents revealed in the folktale included in the textbooks for middle and high school 'Korean Language' and 'Literature' according to the 2015 revised curriculum. Considering the way literary works are delivered to the learning reader in the context of education, the method of female imagery in the folktale and the problem of education were reviewed by dividing it into the level of ‘what’ and the level of ‘how’. As a result, several female narratives stand out at the level of ‘what’. Therefore, it can be confirmed that there is attention on female figures and female hero figures with various characteristics. At the level of ‘how’, it was possible to confirm that new educational contents were completed through learning activities that varied the traditional interpretation of female figures and added interpretations from the present perspective. In this way, after examining the problem of the folktale's method of female imagery and its educational content, it is necessary to first consider the method of realizing the totality of a literary work. In the case of literary materials, since the value of the work itself is an important factor, it is necessary to provide learning content that meets the achievement standards of the existing literary field and does not overlook the value of the work. In addition, it is necessary to recognize that there are changes in specific concepts or alienated female figures according to the changes of the times, and diligently reflect them in the aspect of education by adding a current interpretation to this. As we have seen, there was a change in the meaning of the concept of ‘heroness’ covered in textbooks, and accordingly, the narrative of the female hero was placed in the place where the male heroic narrative of the founding of the nation was placed. Therefore, it was confirmed that the changed hero's qualities were presented as educational contents. Because classical literature is a thing of the past, it may cause discomfort to current learners. However, it is argued that it can be used as an 'ethical standard' to check the current ethical consciousness through the method of pointing out the typicality of the perception of the times embodied in it and revealing it through language.
