This paper discusses the narrative drive of science fiction and its effects and presents the direction of course design using science fiction.
What makes science fiction different from other fantasy genres is that it depicts an alternative world, but is based on realistic and scientific assumptions. In this sense, science fiction has the potential to operate as a link between the humanities and science. As SF-related subjects are on the rise in Korea, this paper researches the possibility and design of SF-related subjects. Above all, it investigates the characteristics of science fiction and its narrative features that can be used educationally in terms of its reasoning, its logical thinking, and its possibility as the tool for STEAM education. In addition, this paper also researches the SF-related courses that are open in our country, and compares them with similar courses in the UK and the USA. Finally, it makes several suggestions for SF-related courses in the present and future. |
