문학교육의 연구사의 비판적 검토와 전망 = A Critical Comment on the History of Korean Literature Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As a preliminary work, this study explored the history of Korean literary education and was designed to find a new direction in literary education. For this goal, this study first analyzed results and limitations obtained from many existing studies on Korean literary education. This analysis showed that full-fledged studies on Korean literary education began ten years ago and that all of preceding studies had just a `prehistoric` meaning. Then, this study explored some efforts to establish the academic independency and identity of Korean literary education in the area of Korean language education. Specifically, results and findings obtained from doctoral dissertations in Korea were analyzed. On the basis of the analysis, this study showed the following suggestions for a new direction of Korean literary education. First, new research approaches toward new-born discourse education and ideology were suggested. The second suggestion was that literary education could be discussed in the context of culture education-viewing literature as an aspect of language culture. Third, the close reading of a text supported by the strength of New Criticism, which had been neglected in the area of literary education, was still an effective method in literary education. Finally, this study confirmed the proposition that `open` literary education should be realized through this research methodology of literary education. This study also specified the prospect of Korean literary education, in terms of literary education through writing as well as reading and reader`s active learning of literature.
