The secondary education curriculum in Korea just turned from the sixth to the seventh
period. This new curriculum has been thoroughly revised out of consideration for the changes
of information on courses, social conditions, general education theory, and through the
examination and evaluation of the appropriateness of present program. The literature education
of seventh educational curriculum, under this background, focuses on 'Reception and Creative
writing' rather than 'Comprehension and Appreciation' unlikely the previous ones.
The current education in literature, however, in particular novel education, is not free from
the vague 'understanding and appreciation'. So the reality of school field is that even though
most students have studied, or now studying the novels, what they do is only to read and
understand them.
The main purpose of this study is to design the education strategy encouraging the students
to create the works not only appreciating them, which would help activate education of creative
writing. It would urge students to actively respond to class with understanding and creating
the novel, not being only the subject of the instructor-centered cramming system of education.
This accords with the learner-centered education, the soul object of seventh educational
curriculum.
The education of creative writing suggested in this study is the model lecture of story
writing, using process-based writing strategy. The process-based writing strategy newly
developed by the change in writing paradigm, is meant to activate writing process through a
variety of strategies and enable students to write better through those processes. Needless to
say, the result of writing, the work counts. But the strategy of process-based writing stems out
of the concept that the process of writing does also count for the completeness of the resulting
work. Therefore, this study is to develop the story writing teaching/learning model using the

process-based writing strategy and apply them to the classroom to see if this model actually
works in improving the interest and writing ability of students.
Education in story writing is not to make students professional writers but to provide the
students with the opportunity to understand literature, the culture and the world in which they
live better, by writing from that education
First, in chapter Ⅱ, we introduced the theoretical background to design the process-centered
story writing teaching/learning model. To do this, we have studied the changes in writing
theory and the concept, characteristics, effectiveness and meaning of process-based writing
strategy.
In chapter Ⅲ, we explored the principle of literature writing education and then have
surveyed the middle school students to see how much this principle is applied to the
classroom. This questionary is organized to analyze the realities and problems of current
education in story writing and on the result, we verified the need for the new instruction
program of story writing.
In chapter Ⅳ, we concentrated on designing the process-based story writing teaching/
learning model as a solution to the problems explored in chapter Ⅲ.
First, to invent the teaching/learning model, we present the principle of process-based story
writing by engaging the process-based writing strategies and the elements essential to create the
story.
Second, we applied this model to the real class encouraging the students to write a story and
finally, analyzed the works of the students to see the learners' story writing ability.
The specific criteria for evaluating the learners' stories was organized. Besides, the post-test
questionary survey was also done to examine the affective domain such as understanding or
interest in story writing.
In chapter Ⅴ, we verified that process-based writing strategy was proved to motivate
students' interest in story writing and improve their writing ability in terms of technical
development, and highlighted the need to pay special attention to the process in literature
writing. To do this, the form of class should be based on the learner-centered education and
teachers should be equipped with capacity and professionalism to evaluate or proofread the
students' writing process.
