데이터로 보는 학술지 『국어교육 』 70년의 연구 동향 분석

초록

This study analyzes the historical development and research trends of Korean language education by examining 2,082 articles published in Korean Language Education from Issue 1 to Issue 185, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of The Society of Korean Language Education. The analysis focuses on chronological changes based on the categories of content theory and pedagogical theory. The findings show that, since 1997, research topics have diversified significantly, influenced by both external factors such as the journal evaluation system and internal efforts to establish academic independence. Research has also shifted from traditional literature and linguistics toward communication, media, and Korean language education, reflecting processes of differentiation and integration. In addition, pedagogical research has steadily increased, showing a qualitative shift from practice-oriented reports to more systematic theoretical studies. Furthermore, the analysis of underexplored areas suggests possibilities for expanding the scope of the discipline. These results demonstrate that Korean language education has developed a distinct academic identity over the past 70 years and provide important implications for its future development.
