The definition of "creativity" by early psychologists has been vast and ambiguous, so it can not be denied that discussions in the related researches were difficult to be concretely done. In particular, in spite of the fact that how creativity can be expressed in educational ways is a topic that has been hotly discussed, there is insufficient confirmation on the effectiveness of creativity in classroom.
Therefore, I felt the necessity to check how the objectives and direction of the curriculum are being implemented in the textbooks in terms of creativity education through literacy while being faithful to the definition and intention of "creativity". Therefore, it is the purpose of this study to check how the objectives for creativity is embodied in Korean language textbooks, especially "literature" textbooks. The scope of the analysis study is limited based on the part that can identify the specific technology related to creativity for raising research efficiency.
In this study, two research data were used to derive the analysis standard. The first is the 'achievement research results of existing researchers', and the second is the 'contents of the general and particular framework for curriculum'. The characteristics of the creativity of the 'formal elements' and 'content elements' are organized and reconstructed according to the textbooks.
Based on the researchers' research on the cognitive, affective, and environmental factors of creativity, I refine the 'formal elements' required by' linguistic creativity 'of Korean language. First, it is necessary to fully understand existing contents and the element of knowledge. Second, creativity must be new and ingenious. Third, I refine the content element through Korean education curriculum. I organize contents according to the part clearly describing creativity including objectives in curriculum. Since elements of achievement standards are newly emphasized, I organize contents focusing on those things.
Furthermore, I attempt to confirm the implementation aspect through the textbooks which are used in the actual teaching and learning through this analysis framework. I confirm how creativity is implemented, analyzing contents like pre-learning activities, literature contents, strategy of teaching, etc. It is significant that the concept of creativity is described in detail and that creativity implementation is checked comparing to textbooks of each publisher. The purpose of this study is to find out how the Korean language and creativity education should be embodied.
