일상어를 활용한 도자공예 전문용어의 학습 효용성 연구

Abstract

The objective of this paper examines how learning effectiveness and communicability can be enhanced by using familiar ceramic terminology based on everyday words. To demonstrate how difficult ceramic terminology currently used in the museum is, I measure the linguistic distance between everyday words and ceramic terminology. Then, I examine how effective easy and familiar ceramic terminology is thorough the museum education. The results are as follows. The linguistic distances between everyday words and ceramic terminology are 56.74(for adults) and 65.45(for children). It means that ceramic terminology is clearly far from everyday words. When running the education program with ceramic terminology currently used in the museum, participants feel difficulty to understand and memorize the concept of terms. On the other hand, when changing ceramic terminology based on everyday words and using in the eduction program, they easily understand and memorize the terms, and their confidence and activeness are enhanced. In addition, easy and familiar terminology leads to increasing creativity and familiarity toward the learning objects. The museum is a public organization and a lifelong learning institution with high quality contents. Therefore, using easy and familiar terminology based on everyday words will make the museum more meaningful place.
