국어과 평가와 창의적 사고력

Abstract

This study aims to investigate on a measure of learners' creative thinking in korean language teaching. Thinking process with a propound knowledge is important to learners in language lessons, because language is a tool of mind expression and a container of world knowledge. So language instructions should elaborate both learners thinking process and language expression style. We heard that a deep knowledge makes learners creative, esp. that is core element in problem solving thinking. Then mother language learners should be requested to simulate a problem thinking process and acquire more knowledge. It is clear that a deep knowledge influence on one's thinking, especially creative thinking. To evaluate learners' creative abilities, above all teaching methods and instruction materials should be focus on developing their thinking strategies, and korean lessons also should be managed by that plan. But now modern language lessons seemed to be inconsistent to realize that viewpoint. No matter how it does, we must assess learners' creative thinking. So, this article suggests three steps in creative thinking assessment. First, we can use the various creative thinking test tools developed by educational psychologists. Second, we can observe students' activities during the language lessons, and judge their state at any time. Third, after lessons we can gather their task works and evaluate students' creative thinking level through their works, making portfolios for the future.
