MEMORIAL TO MARIA HARRIS (1932-2005): AESTHETIC APPROACH TO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It has been about 10 years since Dr. Maria Harris passed away from us. I dedicatethis study to Harris who had made great achievements in the area of religiouseducation from 1932 to 2005 and has given great influence on my study until now.
Harris has contributed to establishing the relationship between aesthetics and religiouseducation. Harris understands church as the artistic community and human beings asartists with the image of God, the Artist. On this theological foundation, she developsher own educational theory which is called the art of teaching. This study introducesthe art of teaching and curriculum as artistic five movements: contemplation,engagement, formgiving, emergence, release. Harris also describes the art of teachingas the process to create harmony of teacher, students, and subject matter, suggestsfive criteria for the art of teaching (taking care, taking steps, taking form, taking time,and taking risks), and emphasizes the use of poetic and artistic language in theclassroom. Finally, this study applies Harris' art of teaching to the Korean context andcompares the art of teaching with the Korean play, Ma dang Keuk. Harris was thefirst religious educator who connects the aesthetics to religious education and madereligious education artistic, beautiful, imaginative, and creative.
