생태시를 활용한 대학 생태문학교육의 방향

Abstract

This study aims to lay a foundation to implement ecological environment education for students by seeking direction for ecological literature education in universities using ecological poetry. As a premise for this, the current status of ecological literature education in elementary and secondary schools was identified through an analysis of Korean language curriculums and a review of ecological education research. Although ecological environment education contents, which disappeared in the 2015 revised curriculum, reappeared in the 2022 revised curriculum, limitations were revealed as it was not presented as an achievement standard or educational goal. As one of various problems faced by the 'community', ecological environment problems were exemplified. Educational methods that start with reading works on ecological environment topics and move onto an understanding of problem situations and a cultivation of actively participative attitudes for problem solving have repeatedly been presented in subjects with the search word "ecology." As they are conducted using educational methods that start with students understanding and appreciating ecological poetry, most of the activities focusing on ecological environment problems are presented as in-depth activities conducted after achieving literary educational goals. At this, studies were conducted to use ecological poetry for literary education by focusing on educational values suitable for cultivating ecological consciousness, ecological sensitivity, and ecological knowledge along with the literary values of ecological poetry. Based on the unique characteristics of ecological literature, ecological literature education of university will be differentiated as a convergent subject that has contact with environmental and ecological education as well as literary education. Unlike literature-oriented ecological education in elementary and secondary education, universities can focus on ecologism and utilize ecological poetry with more diverse themes and forms. Through this, expansions can be made, not only in in-depth ecologism, but also in social ecologism. Ecological literature education of university can move away from literary education methods centered on appreciating literary works and provide convergent education and media education based on university majors.
