A Study on the Class of Korean Classics as Liberal Arts Education(1) : <Gojeoninmunhaksanchaek> Focusing on the design of classes

This study aims to examine how Korean classical literature can be utilized in ‘liberal arts education’ at universities. This study focuses on three keywords - ‘Korean classical literature,’ ‘liberal arts education,’ and ‘content’ - and designs a curriculum for learning and teaching Korean classical literature. It is the result of thinking about how to connect liberal arts education (affiliation) and classical literature (major) and how to teach them, and to make it easier for students to approach classical literature, which is difficult for them, we thought about connecting familiar contents with students so that they can learn literature. Through the review of previous studies, we identified the following limitations of Korean classics-related courses at universities: the study of narrative literature rather than poetry as a genre, the number of class case studies, the case studies were mainly accumulated from case reports of running a small part of the entire class, and the classes were biased toward the researcher’s specific major. To compensate for these limitations, the class was designed to develop a course that can operate a semester rather than a class that uses only one genre or applies only part of one semester class. As a model for such a course, we present the design of a course called <Gojeoninmunhaksanchaek>. The first half of the 15-week course is organized around the themes of food, clothing, housing, work, and travel, linked to classical literature. The second half of the course is called “Classical Literature and Content,” which connects video media and classical literature. However, since the course has just been developed and approved, it is difficult to diagnose the results and effects of its operation. It is difficult to diagnose the results and effects of the program. I'd like to conclude with two suggestions. One, which has been mentioned many times in the literature, is that I would like to see a list of blackouts that could be used as sanctions for liberal arts education at universities. I would also like to see an environment created in which classical studies scholars in liberal arts departments can come together to think about course planning and delivery and build methods together.
