국어과 교과서의 『훈민정음』기술에 대한 검토 - 2015 개정 교육과정을 대상으로

Abstract

The objective of this study is to review the problems with the description of 『 Hunminjeongeum』 mentioned in the current Korean language textbooks, and also to discuss how to modify and complement them. Hunminjeongeum-haeryebon is a national/global documentary heritage, and Hunminjeongeum-eonhaebon that is its translation into middle Korean is also valuable literature material in the history of Korean language. Based on such symbolism and importance, a lot of current Korean language textbooks are directly/indirectly handling 『Hunminjeongeum』 in the history of Korean language of grammar area. However, the explanation of 『Hunminjeongeum』 is all different in each authorized textbook, and some of the explanation is not sound or accurate, which is a problem. This means the learners differently understand and experience the same object 『Hunminjeongeum』 depending on textbooks, which could be led to the gap of understanding of 『Hunminjeongeum』 between learners. To solve this problem, this study presented the matters to be modified/ complemented such as the necessities to explain the ambiguity of ‘Hunminjeongeum’, to specify the relation between haeryebon and eonhaebon, to accurately reveal the source of eonhaebon, to accurately match the name for convenience with the actual name of literature, to divide the language from letters, and to divide the preface from Yeui. Those matters should be fully reflected into the authorized Korean language textbooks that would be revised in the future.
