문해교육의 개념과 내용 분석 연구

초록

Korean adult literacy education was started by volunteer workers in nonprofit organizations and is now supported by the government at the education welfare level. By government aid, textbooks and formal teaching curriculums are being developed, and eventually the framework for literacy education is getting built. However, because literacy education was systemized by government backing in a short period of time, curriculums are too similar to regular courses and lack flexibility. Also, since most textbooks are developed by field experts without professional help from specialties in academic subjects, there are errors in contents and inadequate methodological approaches. As written above, these problems derive from approaching literacy education in achieving higher level of education, rather than the original purpose, literalization. In the future, the spectrum of illiterates will get wider, and the field of literacy education will not only be restricted to Hangul, number, English but also be expanded to information literacy, financial literacy, etc. Considering the upcoming changes in literacy circumstances, it is necessary to change the present paradigm, which provides literacy education only to the elders, and to develop various programs appropriate for individual illiterates.
