대학 교양강의로서의 漢字敎育의 방향과 敎育方案에 관한 管見

Abstract

In this paper, I would like to give some insight into what should be aimed at the kanji course as the cultural lecture of university. Currently, Hanja education, which emphasizes practicality instead of traditional cultural Chinese characters, has been booming. Although there have been a lot of studies on the directions and methods of Chinese character education in this situation, there is a certain aspect that can not be firmly established between the practicality and essential goal of the cultural studies. However, through the experience of the lecture, I was able to confirm that the Chinese character education can still be an important subject for human literacy with practicality, as long as the university does not limit the goal of Chinese character education to take certification. Because Chinese character education necessarily links with students' everyday language life, students can understand various humanities knowledge inherent in Chinese characters as directly connected with their own lives. For this purpose, I have aimed to learn kanji by using the achievements of lettergraphy, after selecting a word, we learned each letter in the process of learning the target word. In addition, I selected proper words and introduced them through the linkage to the current issues, literary works, and Chinese literature. The reason why my efforts have been able to achieve certain results is because the Chinese character education have features that can combine various humanities contents unlike other subjects. The students also had a great interest in learning Chinese characters that were mixed with humanities contents, and showed their activeness to maximize their intellectual curiosity related to humanities when they made their presentations. Through this lecture experience, I was able to learn that the direction of Chinese character education must aim at the original goal of the liberal arts curriculum. Also I was seriously able to awaken that researchers and instructors in charge of Chinese character education they should insist Indeed significantly more uplift of Humanities and spirit through the Chinese character education, at this time that will be worried to accelerate human alienation in the guise of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
