국어교과에 대한 사회적 요구와 교육현실 - 대학생들의 인식 조사를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study conducted a survey and identified the social needs for the Korean language arts by 176 college students’ responses. This study found out a remarkable gap between the social needs and the reality of Korean language arts education. First, the college students did not realize the necessity of Korean language arts in the classes though they agreed with its necessity as a subject in general. Second, students recognized the goal of the Korean language arts as the development of comprehension and persentation abilities based on language usage; however, the reality of education was not matched with it. Third, in the real classes, speaking and writing that students put the most value was rarely taught. Lastly, there was also a mismatch between the needed methods(various practice-based teaching and authentic assessment) and the applied methods. These findings emphasize the importance of reconstructing the goals, contents, and methods of Korean language arts toward developing communication abilities.
