Abstract

This study aimed to prepare a specific Korean language and convergence class teaching and learning plan for Ildongjangyu. Ildongjangyu is a long-length travel lyrics written by Kim In-gyeom, who was active in the ‘Gyemitongsinsa’ dispatched to Japan in 1763. This work contains a lot of interesting contents that contain specific life aspects such as food, instruments, and institutions from Japan in the 18th century. In this respect, many convergence learning elements can be found and students' interest can be drawn. As a specific model of convergence class, 'autonomous cooperative learning (co-op co-op model)' was applied. Since the active participation of students in convergence classes is important, it was considered appropriate to autonomous cooperative learning that sets each topic and conducts inquiry activities. The elements of convergence learning that can be identified in the work can be largely classified into four categories: Korean language, history, geography, and art. Within this category, students can freely choose and explore topics and experience convergence. Although the burden on school members may be high on conducting convergence classes, the educational value that can be obtained from this is very large and clear.
