문학교육에서 내러티브와 메타포의 상생 방안 탐구

초록

This study aims to explore the educational functions of narrative and metaphor in literature education and to propose integrative strategies for their coexistence. Narrative serves as a thinking framework that helps learners structure their experiences in the form of stories and construct meaning, while metaphor functions as a cognitive device that conveys abstract concepts and emotions in concrete and sensory ways, thereby expanding the scope of thinking. However, when literature education becomes biased toward either narrative or metaphor, it risks diminishing the multi-layered interpretation and aesthetic experience of literature, and stifling learners’ creativity and sensitivity. Therefore, this study examined the complementary relationship between narrative and metaphor through literature review and qualitative case study, and suggested balanced teaching and learning methods that integrate both elements in literature education. The findings indicated that the integrative approach to narrative and metaphor could help students reinterpret literary texts in connection with their own lives, create new meanings, and ultimately would contribute to transforming literature education into a creative and empathetic field closely linked to real life.
