A study of the content composition of global citizenship education using fairy tales: Based on 『The Child Who Weaves the Coffin』 by Han, Jung-Young

초록

The purpose of this study is to prepare a plan to organize the contents of global citizenship education by utilizing the fairy tale of “The Child Who Weaves the Coffin” by Han Jeong-young. Today, Korean society is forming a multicultural society with the influx of many migrants. However, since the global citizenship education program operated including them is not a regular curriculum, the reality is that learning contents are operated differently depending on the operating entity or the subject of the class. Therefore, systematic programs for global citizenship education need to be provided from the lower grades of elementary school. In general, the fields of global citizenship education are largely ‘race’, ‘bias’, and ‘conflict’. Among them, Han Jung-young's fairy tale “The Child Who Weaves the Coffin” (2013) can be a desirable educational sanction for elementary school learners when trying to deal with complex problems. The fairy tale tells the story of the Turkana people in Kenya, Africa, who suffer from drinking water shortages. Kiare's story includes a variety of content, including drinking water problems, water pollution, conflicts and wars with neighboring Uganda over water. In this study, based on the principle of commerce and culture, elementary school learners investigate the drinking water problems, ethnic conflicts, and educational problems experienced by African countries through this fairy tale, and by contemplating them together, a plan to construct educational content that can naturally grow as a global citizen was suggested.
