This study aims to ponder over specific tendencies and features of dramatic literature-related works and questions in the verbal section of the College Scholastic Ability Test for 19 years from 1996 to 2012, thereby clarifying educational values of dramatic literature in the verbal section of the College Scholastic Ability Test. The shape and momentum of dramatic literature changed in the midst of national curricular transition.
Even though dramatic literature was disregarded in the 5th national curriculum, it has gradually increased momentum since the 6th national curriculum. This is because dramatic literature gained greater momentum amid the change of times, thereby grabbing enormous attention to relevant study outcomes.
To analyze dramatic literary works addressed in the verbal section of the College Scholastic Ability Test, this study classifies these works into several subgenres, thereby looking at subgenre-specific tendencies. Plays 'stage a confrontational setting between self and the world' against the backdrop of national turbulence. As a screen adaptation of novels, movie scenarios ‘visualize discord between self and the world.' As distinct from the above genres, broadcast scripts 'visualize communication, rather than confrontation and discord, between self and the world.'
For analysis of questions about dramatic literature, this study looks at behavioral goals based on the manual for the College Scholastic Ability Test. Consequently, these questions record arelatively low proportion of vocabulary, grammar, factual thinking, and critical thinking. But, they post a higher share of inferential thinking and creative thinking, and many of them confirm educational values.
Based on the above analysis, this study offers specific instructional design for dramatic literature. Dramatic literature secures a wider space of uncertainty than any other literary genre because lyrical and narrative selves are lacking in dramatic literature. Therefore, dramatic literature requires an abundant level of inferential thinking. It also demands further creative thinking because it embodies not only a written text but also staging and screen visualization thereof. If instructional design for dramatic literature is based on the above two axes, it will presumably maximize the educational effectiveness of dramatic literature.
