요산 김정한 문학의 교과서 수용 양상과 문학교육적 함의 -제5차 교육과정 이후 『문학』 교과서 수록 양상을 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to identify the context and aspects of Yosan Kim Jeong-han’s novels accepted into the literature education system after the 5th Curriculum, and to examine the educational value of his literature based on the 2022 Revised Curriculum. After the 5th Curriculum, Kim Jeong-han’s novels, which actively portrayed the people’s harsh reality and people’s resistance against unjust power, have established themselves as representative examples of realism and peasant literature within the educational system. In the 2007 revised curriculum, Kim Jeong-han’s works were used as representative subjects of regional literature. This is attributable to the strong locality of his works as he stayed in Busan all his life and made the local community the main subject of his novels. Sandbar Story and People live in Mountain are works that deal with the life problems of local people. They have been used as regional literature materials in various textbooks since the 2007 revised curriculum, and have played a role in enhancing the value of region and locality in literary works. So far, Kim Jeong-han’s literature has been established as realism literature and regional literature that depicts the people’s life and rural reality. In educating his works, it is necessary to seek new educational meanings in line with the changing educational environment. The 2022 revised curriculum puts climate and ecological issues urgently facing humanity as a major agenda. Kim Jeong-han is a novelist who has deeply contemplated the relationship between humans and the region and described the vitality of nature in detail. Various ecological values can be found in his works. A Certain Will and A Professor and Goby Minnow can be said to be representative works that depict the reality of the natural ecological environment being brutally destroyed in the process of industrialization. His work, which focuses on ecological issues, is more special in that it is based on the locality of Busan and Gyeongnam. In particular, the problem of marine ecosystem pollution raised in A Professor and Goby Minnow is related to the regional characteristics of Busan. This shows that Kim Jeong-han’s literature can be actively used as an ecological transformation education material that inspires ecological sensitivity based on regional specificity and seeks the direction of sustainable development.
