An Application of Korean Traditional Paper to Sewing Instructional Materials in the Discretional Activities of Elementary School

Korean traditional paper is more than paper itself to the Korean people because of its excellence, compared to western paper, in keeping records, flexibility, strength, air permeability, and blocking ultraviolet rays. It has been used for various purposes such as book-making, covering for walls, windows or floors, making clothes and living appliances, and so on. Notwithstanding these merits, mass-produced paper has been substituted for Korean paper. Recently, however, there is a growing tendency to re-evaluate Korean paper because of its physiochemical properties, traditional beauty, eco-friendliness, and applicability to crafts. Korean paper deserves widely received re-evaluation as teaching materials for the education of ecology, creativity, and traditional arts. The purpose of this study was twofold: (i) to develop instructional materials for sewing classes in which the Korean paper is used; and (ii) to propose how to use this method in discretional activities. The present researchers reviewed the usage of the Korean paper as sewing materials and contrived to use it in the classroom. We tried to make various kinds of daily needs such as baskets, boxes, trays, etc. of the Korean paper and abstracted the properties of the paper as sewing materials. Finally, we proposed how to use the Korean paper as an instructional material for the 5th and 6th graders.
