창작표현활동 융합수업과 청소년기 공감능력 변화* = Exploring Changes in Adolescents’ Empathy through Creative Expression-Based Intergrated Learning

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a creative expression activity program that applies short stories and dance to understand and interpret phenomena that have not been interpreted as statistical results in order to continuously examine students' emotional intelligence and empathy.
Methods: By applying the mixed method design, quantitative key elements (QUAN) and qualitative complementary elements (qual) were continuously constructed. Accordingly, an interview was conducted by applying a qualitative study based on the research results of OOO et al. (2026). In addition, member checking was requested to the research participants by e-mail or Kakao Talk to prevent distortion of the facts so that the researcher's results could be reevaluated.
Results: Both cognitive and emotional empathy were found to exert positive influences on the effectiveness of the instructional content and teaching methods. In particular, participants reported that the class facilitated a sense of companionship and fostered positive emotional experiences throughout the interview process.
Conclusion: To effectively integrate these findings into the curriculum, it is necessary to prioritize educational opportunities within regular classes that promote students' social and emotional regulation skills, rather than relying primarily on after-school programs, which are typically positioned as supplementary instruction.
