학교밖 청소년을 위한 독서교육의 방향성 연구 : 소년원 재원 청소년을 중심으로

Abstract

Adolescents outside of school often find it difficult to achieve a meaningful life and communication – the goal of Korean language education. Therefore, this study attempted to establish a hypothesis that reading education has a high function and possibility to promote self-education of adolescents outside of school, and to verify the hypothesis. First, I collected the reading experience descriptions of youths in juvenile schools who were in the blind spot of reading education. And, using a qualitative analysis tool-NVivo, the subject's change through reading was analyzed. Based on Ricoeur’s theory of reading behavior an analysis was conducted, and as a result, 4 upper nodes (existing me, via the actual other, via the other as a book, and the new me) and 13 sub-nodes (reflection of distorted ideas or emotions, Attribution to one's actions, confession of complex or identity, reevaluation of others, sympathy for other's psychology, refutation of other's perceptions, virtual dialogue with the author, imagining the emotions of the work, construction of messages through books, seeking change and future planning, reevaluation of time and space, reconstruction of narrative of self-identity, demand for recognition and respect of others) were extracted. Through the coding process and content analysis, the pattern and tendency of adolescents to reflect on themselves through reading, plan a new identity, and try to empathize and imagine others in the process also emerged clearly. Based on the results of this analysis, it was suggested that reading education should provide an open experience for adolescents outside of school so that they explore the text world and interpret themselves and the real world, rather than unilaterally correcting their personality. Furthermore, it was confirmed that it was necessary to listen to the expectations and demands of various adolescents for reading education, and to maintain the viewpoint of change/growth through the individual reading experiences of the youth.
