미술 문화 향유 태도 함양을 위한 미술관 연계 학교교육프로그램 실행 연구

Abstract

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, school education has increasingly emphasized competencies such as creativity, problem-solving skills, and communication. Art and cultural works represent creative expressions of diverse perspectives and ideas about individual and social issues through the medium of art. Therefore, school education should provide students with educational experiences that enable them to appreciate art and culture, fostering respect for diversity and developing creative thinking. This study is an action research project targeting fifth-grade elementary students, aiming to develop and implement a museum- linked educational program to cultivate their attitudes toward appreciating art and culture. The program is designed to assess the effects on students’ attitudes and to improve educational practices. A literature review was conducted to explore the concept of art and cultural appreciation, identifying its sub-elements as exploring museum information, experiencing exhibitions, expressing oneself, and finding enjoyment. The program was structured to utilize accessible museums, enabling students to visit and enjoy them consistently and repeatedly. The program integrated field trip learning with pre- and post-activities at school, allowing for continuous appreciation and expression activities. To address the limitations of oneoff or passive experiences, the program centered activities on museum artworks to facilitate systematic link between museum field trips and classroom instructions. To analyze how the museum- linked educational program impacts elementary students' art and cultural appreciation, the program was applied to students. Data were collected and analyzed through surveys, interviews, recordings, observations, student activity sheets, creative works, photos, and questionnaires. The findings from the implementation of the museum - linked educational program to foster attitudes toward art and cultural appreciation are as follows: First, by providing opportunities for students to explore museum information and make self-directed choices, students engaged actively with interest and enthusiasm. Second, positive experiences from repeated and sustained exhibition visits enhanced their interest in diverse museums in their surroundings and increased their willingness to participate in exhibitions and experiences. Third, through expressive activities, students were encouraged to creatively express themselves, drawing on in -depth appreciation of works and self -reflection. Fourth, through continuous and repeated experiences in the museum - linked school education program, students developed positive emotions such as immersion, enjoyment, fulfillment of aesthetic needs, intellectual satisfaction, and increased interest. These positive emotions fostered students’ curiosity and interest in museums, enhancing their willingness to participate in museum-related activities in the future.
