고전문학 ‘학습(學習)’의 경험과 ‘재미’의 문제에 대한 논의

Abstract

In this paper, we supposed the word 'interest' was caused by problematic situations that our student didn't experience pleasure or interest in Korean old literature in school. This statement "I am not interested in Korean old literature because of its unfamiliarity or difficulty" is a kind of confession that students has no successful learning experience of Korean old literature. Successful learning is started by being confronted with cognitive difficulty and is come to a period by expanding cognitive horizon by overcoming difficulty. From the viewpoint of learning, the cognitive difficulty of understanding Korean old literature is meaningful itself. It is important for us to know the nature of learning experience and to recognize our role as assistant and facilitator to help students' learning of Korean old literature. For students' successful learning, we suggested that structured knowledge have been constructed (or discovered) and supplied as contents of Korean old literature education in school, and flexible and creative response and intervention had been required in teaching and learning situation, not only looking for fascinating method or items. All these efforts should contribute to create a new tradition of learning of Korean old literature in these days.
