집중이수제 기반의 창의·인성 한문 수업 사례

Abstract

In the curriculum revision of 2009, a concentrated class hour system limiting the number of subjects completed per semester to 8 subjects was introduced. It also put stress on cultivating creativity and character building as well as advanced knowledge acquisition. By implementing the concentrated class hour system, the total lesson time of Classical Chinese, which had been spread across three years, was able to be gathered in one concentrated period. Usually, 2 or 3 class periods, per week, of the course are guaranteed during two semesters for first and second year students. Due to this concentration, diverse class participation methods, rather than simple teaching by rote, are allowed. After the system introduction, many changes such as curriculum reconstitution, teaching methods, and evaluation within the curriculum are being investigated. This paper examines the possibilities of this system. Through diverse class examples, the possibilities for creativity and character building in a Classical Chinese course were found. In order to heighten the effect of Classical Chinese class for creativity and character building within the concentrated class hour system, proper class hours need to be guaranteed and various supporting plans for teachers are required.
