Aspects of Anti-Communist Comics in Eokkaedongmu (1970-1972) ─ Focusing on I Came from the North and The Bell Tiger ─

The term “anti-communist comics” refers to a genre that continued to appear steadily after the Korean War. Eokkaedongmu (Shoulder to Shoulder) serialized such anti-communist comics intensively between 1970 and 1972. The magazine Eokkaedongmu was first published in 1967 by Yuk Young-soo. Although it was intended as a children’s magazine, it implicitly incorporated elements related to South Korea’s politics and state policies of the time―for example, themes such as anti-communism, the Saemaul (New Village) Movement, and the Yushin regime. In this sense, Eokkaedongmu can be regarded not merely as a children’s magazine but also as a medium of political propaganda directed at children. This study examines the manifestations of anti-communist ideology in two comics― Bangulbeom (The Bell Tiger) and I Came from the North―serialized in Eokkaedongmu from 1970 to 1972. The purpose is to analyze how Eokkaedongmu functioned not simply as a magazine for children but as a vehicle for political propaganda during that period. Bangulbeom is an allegorical “animal war serial comic” depicting a conflict between the “Livestock Army” and the “Beast Army.” Through anthropomorphic animal characters drawn in a friendly style, the comic conveys a sense of hostility toward communism and justifies war. In contrast, I Came from the North is based on the true story of a defector from North Korea. By dramatizing a real-life narrative, it heightens awareness of the presence of spies active throughout South Korea and reinforces the perception that the South is superior to the North. Through these two works, this study explores how anti-communist ideology in the 1970s approached children and investigates how Eokkaedongmu embodied political and economic ideologies―such as anti-communism, the Yushin system, and the Saemaul Movement―through the medium of a children’s magazine.

Effects of Rubric Education on Improving Self-Assessment Skills ─ Focusing on The Use of Generative AI ─

Yang, Sung-hee | 2025, (131) | pp.205~232 | number of Cited : 0

This study was designed for the following research purposes. First, what is the effect of rubric-based self-evaluation on learners' ability to perform writing? Second, how does the rubric affect learners in argumentative writing when using AI? Third, what is the educational effect that appears when ‘AI utilization’ and ‘rubric education’ are conducted in parallel? in order to achieve the above research goals, data from 56 college students who participated in the pre-post evaluation and open questionnaire were analyzed using a revised and supplementary version of the 2025 Argumentative Writing Rubric developed by the National Institute of the Korean Language. a large proportion (82.1%) of the 56 learners evaluated that their writing skills improved in the second writing task (final exam) compared to the first (interim exam). The item that showed the greatest improvement in score was the ‘expression’ category (language conventions and norms d=0.7, sentence structure and vocabulary d=0.6). This suggests that writing ability improved as learners experienced a pattern of ‘observation-recognition-regulation’ of their language habits, amplified by the interaction effect between parallel ‘rubric education’ and AI’s spelling correction function. analysis of the open responses revealed that the interaction effect between ‘AI utilization’ and ‘rubric education’ contributed to learners' metacognitive growth. In conclusion, this integrated approach indicates that ‘AI utilization with metacognitive criteria’, which promotes learners' thinking processes and self-monitoring, functions as a pedagogical approach beyond mere technical assistance in AI-assisted writing. Learners recognized AI as a ‘tool to increase writing efficiency’, while also acknowledging the need for ethical judgment and self-regulation in its use. This suggests that AI writing education should evolve into a learning design that integrates critical thinking and ethical reflection, moving beyond simple functional skill development.
