사고 지도를 활용한 한국어 요약문 쓰기 수업 효과 연구

The purpose of the paper is to investigate and suggest how 'thinking maps' can be used as an effective teaching method in Korean summary writing. 'Thinking Maps' is an effective learning method that can assist the learners of Korean when writing academically for University. The explanatory text is an example of majored publications, which is the main type of material used within class. Reports and Exams are frequently used as major evaluation materials in Universities, and these tasks require the ability of reading and understanding explanatory texts and to summarise it in one's own words. Summary writing is an important skill that is required for learners at University. However a systematic teaching method has not yet been put in place to accommodate for this skill. 'Thinking maps' is a visual tool that assists learners to arrange and structure one's thoughts, whilst it also allows to check if a clear understanding on the explanatory texts has been achieved. Consequently, 'thinking maps' is an effective tool for learners when writing academic Korean summaries, for it supports systematic learning and student centred learning.
