A questionnaire was used to survey effects of environmental education using method of rephrasing lyrics of songs. The results of this study are as follows: First, it is found that the environmental education using method of rephrasing lyrics of songs is effective on building up the environmental sensitivity. Second, the environmental education using method of rephrasing lyrics of songs is effective on 4 domains of the environmental sensitivity - positive reception, expectation, disagreeableness and anger for environment and environmental problems.

This study aims to investigate the context of materials in literature textbooks and the awareness about the educational value of classical literature, as part of an interest in literature education phenomena. This study accepts the premise that textbooks affect the practice of classical literature education and, in particular, materials in textbooks are chosen according to the intentions, demands, and perspectives of education in specific social conditions. I divided the educational value of classical literature into two categories, classical and literary value, and investigated the actual conditions and context of materials of literature textbooks based on the 2009 revised curriculum and the 2011 revised curriculum. Classical literature is generally alienated and excluded; contemporary literature materials are mostly included and organized in the domains of 'the role of literature', 'reception and production of literature' and 'literature and life.' In addition, the tendency to heighten classical value and diminish literary value is deepening. In order to solve the problem that classical literature is only included as the product of the past, changes must be made not just to the curriculum, which are external changes, but to the awareness of the essence of classical literature, which are internal changes. Above all, generality as 'literature' and the sense of distance about space and time as 'classic' should be connected to various relationships which respond to problematic situations and the demands of learners. Based on the relationships, we can expect a rich diversity of contexts and aspects of included classical literature. In addition, an extension of the width and scope of included classical literature is anticipated. The reduction of workload, the advent of the concept of capability and the dissolution of traditional literature concepts are the changes of external environment, which is continuously requiring renewed investigation into classical literature beyond simple appropriateness.

This paper examines the characteristics of the traditional education contents that they have preserved and succeeded based on the recognition of 'Dongdo' by the modern intellectuals, and selects the contemporary contents of traditional education which are worthy of modern succession, It is aimed to categorize by classification and to reconstruct the contents accordingly. For this purpose, I will try to diagnose the problems of modern education and explore the possibilities of traditional ideas represented by Confucianism as a solution to solve and solve these problems. In particular, I will examine the positive and negative perceptions of intellectuals about studying abroad since the modern era, and examine what are the meaningful things to avoid and how to reconstruct the contents of traditional education in a modern way. Through this review, I will establish the principles for the modern reconstruction of the contents of the traditional education and finally discuss the parts that should be emphasized in the modern reconstruction of the contents of the traditional education and the composition of the alternative contents.
