Abstract
This paper proposed plans for writing as liberal education based on Hongildongjeon from the perspective that the problematic consciousness raised in classical literature could be applied to real issues. In an attempt to search for its present values, the investigator asked the three following questions: first, do Hong Gil-dongs exist in this era? Second, is his resistance just? Finally, why does the suppression of others by others happen? Trying to answer those questions, the investigator analyzed Hongildongjeon in terms of “discrimination between legitimate and illegitimate children, activities as a righteous outlaw, and conquest of Yuldoguk.” Based on the analysis results, the study identified valid problematic consciousness even for today such as “discrimination according to innate factors, resistance against unjust public power, and issues of subjects and others.” The study then proposed plans for writing from problem-solving to apply its present values to the subject of writing as liberal education. A writing process of applying the problem-based learning(PBL) model and expanding the problems in classics into real world ones was suggested as a method for problem-solving writing. The method can help learners improve their abilities to reinforce and resolve problems in a self-directed manner in the process of finding connections between works and the reality. Such a writing process is an inquiry into the essential problems of human beings that were raised in classical literature and have not been solved yet and also a reflection and introspection onto oneself.
