공동창작으로 표현한 자화상을 통해 본 대학생들의 자기 인식

Abstract

This study analyzes the self-image of university students in the setting of a general education class, Creative Thinking and Communication. About 430 people participated in the three semesters, divided in 10 classes from the fall semester of 2018 to the fall of 2019. Every class there was a debate where students read the text, raised questions and discussed the answers together. Students were encouraged to express themselves within groups in three ways. The project for the spring semester of 2018 was to express oneself with images. Concepts of passivity and uniformity were repeatedly manifested in the 16 images produced in 2 classes. There was not a single image suggesting the future or the enjoyment of life. In the spring of 2019, students selected keywords for “age 20s in the eyes of university students” and “what university students need”. ‘Freedom and responsibility’, ‘youth’, ‘alcohol’, and ‘challenge’ were highly ranked keywords in the former, and ‘money’, ‘courage’ and ‘passion’ were ranked at the top in the latter category. In the following fall semester, the surrealist game ‘The Exquisite Corpse’ was used. Looking inside the sentences produced according to the rules of the game, feelings of anxiety, fatigue, and crisis were found. By looking at the self-image of university students, the professor hopes to be able to understand the students more closely and cooperate and learn as partners in education and learning.
