고고문화유산의 컬포츠 활용과 그 의미-제주도 문화유산에의 적용을 중심으로-

Abstract

The Culports is articulated as a new form of the play-based cultural education system that enriches a wide range of humanities value and archeological mistery by applying the sports regularity and precision to restoring cultural heritage and capitals. The distinguishing feature of Culports is that it enables educators to manipulate key components of the program (i.e., structure, degree of difficulty, and operational process) in various ways according to learners’ achievement levels, age-specific groups, or the value pursuing the cultural legacy. For instance, Culports program can comprise various aspects of historical cultures, such as stoneware puzzle, constructing a dolmen, making a tiled roof, building a dugout hut, and experiencing a day life of a prehistorical man. Based on the research in the archeological field, the history of Jeju island can be broadly categorized into the five periods: the Paleolithic era, the Neolithic era, the Bronze age, the period of Tamna, and the Middle/Modern ages. Especially, in Jeju island, known for the unique natural scenery and resources valued at outdoor natural history museum, such cultural remains have been well preserved. For example, in case of Gosan-ri remains and Gwakji shell mound, it is essential for related local parties to build a cooperation system in order to empower cultural and educational effects of Culports. Museums and institutions investigating excavated relics not only restore archeological resources (cultural heritage and remains) in Jeju Island, but culturally educate human resources through the well-designed, culture-based Culports program as well. In this process, local citizen and students as implementing bodies need to play an important role in expanding Culports while enjoying it in their daily lives. In the meantime, public institutions, or educational office and local government, should do their duty to systematically support a whole process of implementing Culports education. Participants can have an opportunity to acquire cultural self-esteem in implementing Culports practices by learning basic competence and qualification required for the member of a society. Furthermore, Culports program helps participants think actively and positively, eventually leading them to the level experiencing their ‘existential authenticly.’ In this respect, Culports should be recognized as an approach to utilizing cultural heritage in which all of the people in community share cultural value and then expand it across the country.
