A Study on Teaching Design for the Space of Modern Poetry as Regional Literature

Purpose: This study aims to develop an AI-digital convergence instructional model for teaching modern poetry as regional literature, with a particular focus on regional spaces. Method: Based on Richey & Klein’s (2014) Design and Development Research (DDR) methodology, a six-stage, practice-oriented instructional model was developed using 3D creation and coding software. The model was applied in actual classes with middle school students, using modern poetry from the Busan region as the subject matter, and its effectiveness and validity were analyzed. Results: Students creatively embodied the spatial dimensions of regional modern poetry through software such as Minecraft. The model was found to effectively foster learners’ interest, engagement, meaningful learning experiences, and multidimensional literary appreciation. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the educational potential of a digital convergence, practice-oriented instructional model in modern poetry education. It also suggests the continued refinement of such models for broader application in school settings.
