Abstract

This article is a foundational research on selecting the items of Korean culture education. It aims to examine how the theory and practice of Korean culture education differ to grope for its further directions. To attain this goal, this paper conducted comparative analysis on 144 advanced studies, total 6-type, 36 textbooks and 18 culture-specialized textbooks of chief universities’ annex Korean education institutes having published all of the beginning, intermediate, and advanced-level textbooks, and the current status of operating culture education programs in local education organizations. According to the analysis result, about the items for culture education in Korean textbooks and advanced studies, they commonly suggest behavioral culture by culture types and modern culture by periods in general. However, although the category is the same, the detailed items differ in some way. The culture programs of local education organizations suggest the culture items not dealt with in literatures or textbooks through field trips. It was chiefly the achievement culture by culture type and traditional culture by period. Based on this, it was found that the items of culture education to be provided to Korean learners should be presented in various ways regarding various types of culture according to the features. Meanwhile, in the result of analyzing the difference in the items of culture education according to learner variables such as their Korean mastery level, targeted learners (goal for learning), language area, or age, too, behavioral culture and modern culture are intensively being provided and there is significant difference by the features of variables. This implies that Korean culture education should follow the prototype course of study for all learners to receive it commonly but it is desirable to correct and complement it further according to learner variables.
