문학교육과 상상력 = Imagination and teaching literature

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Literary education should admit that all the human beings are imaginative and that they can develop their imagination by experiencing and learning the others``. The idea that imagination can be taught premises that it is possible to have the concrete teaching-learning method for it. And it is also needed to get the theoretical legitimacy in literary education. From this point of view, this study researches how to theorize the literary imagination which takes a place as one of the most important objects in the national curriculum of Korean language. It also seeks the way to apply it to our educational realities. The main contents of this study are as follows: Firstly, in order to theorize the pedagogy of literary imagination, we have researched the principles of literary imagination and it``s applications, processes, functions and effects. Secondly, we have looked into the patterns of literary imagination and the possibility to apply it into our classroom. Finally, we have manifested that, if we want to develope our students`` imagination substantially, we should reconstruct the concepts of literary education, not as a self-sufficient subject which ends to achieve the aims of teaching literature itself, but as a cultural education for the students to get their own cultural literacy and cultural imagination. Through this research, we try to put much emphasis on the fact that literary education should pay more attention to the imagination which is one of the essentials of literature, not only for literary education itself, but also for the education in general which wishes to develop our students` imaginative ability.
