권채(權採)의 『작성도론(作聖圖論)』의 게임적 특성과 인성교육적 함의

Abstract

This paper analyzes the educational purpose, game elements, and the contents of the Jak-seong-do-ron 作聖圖論, written by Gwon Chae 權採(1399~1438), to explore the implications for humanity education of a Confucian game. Jak-seong-do-ron, which was influenced by Kwon Geun 權近, is a literature that shows the characteristics of Korean Confucianism, which had solved the core concepts of Confucianism by explaining xingli 性理, yin-yang 陰陽, qizhi 氣質, and how to promote one’s virtue based on the current lost Jak-seong-do 作聖圖. It is also a pioneer form of Confucian games, which were designed to use a diagram as a board for a game and learn the way to become a Confucian saint(聖人, shengren) by rolling the dice. This paper explores the contents and significance of a Confucian game in the Jak-seong-do-ron, from the perspective of gamification, which leads to fun by applying game elements to non-game activities such as studying. In particular, this paper discusses the implications for humanity education of a Confucian Game through Jak-seong-do-ron and examines the key of alternative reflection on contemporary Korea’s humanity education situations.
