문학교육에서의 평가에 대한 비판적 검토 = A Critical Approach to the Evaluation in Literature Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is the purpose of this article to review the current discussion about the assessment and evaluation in teaching literature in secondary education. Teaching Literature(Gu, In-Hwan, et al., Seoul: Samjiwon, 1988) was the first book that discussed this matter seriously and theoretically in Korea, so the part of this book regarding the assessment was analysed closely. It is criticized in that it does not criticize the current education fundamentally that makes students accept only one interpretation and evaluation of a literary work. I criticized that this view is based on the essentialism on the literary value. The writers of the book are mistaken in that they think it depends on qualified teachers to teach literature well. This is why they do not recognize that the education in the capitalist schooling makes people discriminated by assessment. I argued that assessment is contradictory with the ideal of teaching literature. In order to overcome this, we should view the assessment as a socio-cultural and institutional matter, and should establish new viewpoint on the evaluation based upon the dialogue among different evaluations.
