<2010 만화산업백서>에서는 2009년과 2010년 상반기 주요 이슈 중 하나로 학습만화의 강세를 꼽았다. 시리즈(예림당)는 3천만 부를 돌파했고, <만화로 보는 그리스로마신화>(가나출판사)는 2천 3백만 부를, <먼나라 이웃나라>(김영사)는 1천 5백만 부, <마법천자문>(아울북)은 1천3백만 부, <코믹 메이플 스토리>(서울문화사)는 1천 1백만 부, <서바이벌 만화 과학상식>시리즈(아이세움)는 1천 만부를 각각 돌파했다고 한다. 초판 발행 부수가 2,000부도 넘지 못하고 있는 현 만화 단행본 시장에서 이러한 학습만화의 강세는 단순한 유행이나 교육열을 넘어, 학습만화가 한국 만화 산업에 중요한 위치로 자리매김 했음을 보여주고 있다. 실제로 2009년 출판만화 시장의 현황을 보면, 어린이만화는 총 927종이 발행되어 시장 규모가 2,362억 원에 달해, 출판만화 전체 시장의 67%를 차지하고 있을 정도로, 한국 만화 산업에서 중요한 위치를 점하고 있다.1) 1970년대 '만화전집' 형태로 출판되어 영업사원들에 의해 판매되던 한국 학습만화는 1987년 고려원에서 출간된 이원복의 <먼나라 이웃나라>에 이르러 대중들에게 주목받기 시작했다. 그러던 것이 2000년 초반 <만화로 보는 그리스로마신화>와 <서바이벌 만화 과학상식>시리즈와 <마법 천자문> 등이 참신한 기획력과 적극적인 마케팅 전략으로 천만 부 시대를 열었고, 시리즈에 이르러 3천 만부를 돌파하면서, 명실상부 학습만화 시대를 열었다. 물론 2000년대 중반 인기작의 아류작들이 쏟아져 나오고, 만화 출판 경험이 없는 출판사들이 학습만화 시장에 뛰어 들면서 학습만화 시장의 거품에 대한 우려의 목소리가 아주 없었던 것은 아니다. 실제로 학습만화 시장에 뛰어 들었던 많은 출판사들이 서점 가판대에 제대로 진열조차 못해본 체 사라져 가고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 학습만화 시장은 꾸준한 성장세를 보이고 있다. 그렇다면, 천만 부 이상을 판매하고 있는 학습만화의 성공요인은 무엇일까? 본고에서는 성공한 학습만화의 스토리텔링을 유형별로 분류하여 분석해 보고, 변화한 스토리텔링 방식이 마케팅과 기획력과 결합해 어떻게 시너지 효과를 내고 있는지 사례별로 분석해 보고자 한다.

본 연구는 만화표현학습을 통한 창의성개발을 목적으로 만화의 창의성 평가요소를 추출하였으며 이를 통하여 실험대상의 창의성을 측정하였다. 먼저 만화의 창의성 요소로 유창성, 융통성, 독창성, 정교성과 더불어 흥미성 요소를 추출하였으며 각 요소를 통하여 객관적인 창의성 평가를 얻기 위해 각 요소에 평가항목을 제시하였다. 이 후 1 차 실험은 실험대상의 4 컷 만화제작을 통해 본 연구에서 제시한 창의성 요소를 이용하여 평가 하였으며 기본적인 창의성 요소를 확인한 결과 수업 전의 창의성이 높은 요소는 유창성, 낮은 요소는 독창성을 들 수 있었다. 또한 1 차 실험 후 실험대상의 작품평가에 대한 창의성 결과에 대해 정교성과 흥미성의 요소를 더욱 개발하기 만화 표현학습이 이루어 졌으며 이후 2 차 실험이 이루어졌다. 2 차 실험 또한 4 컷 만화제작을 통하여 창의성 변화요인을 살펴 보았으며 만화학습 후의 창의성 개발요소 중 높은 요소는 정교성, 낮은 요소는 독창성의 결과가 나타났다. 연구 결과 창의성개발을 위한 본 연구의 만화표현학습이 실험대상의 창의성 변화에 대해 영향을 끼친 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

Although many elementary school students love to read edutainment comics, they are not appropriately guided when they read those books. This study aimed to suggest the necessity of reading instruction for the edutainment comics. To achieve the purpose of this study, we examined the 8 chapters programs of reading instruction-for the 4th grade students-in 2 times. After carrying out the 1st program, we found out the problem related to the program and developed the trouble shooted the 2nd program. The purpose of this study is to show necessity of reading instruction on the edutainment comics in order to activate students' reading. This research shows that if teachers use edutainment comics appropriately to teach students with learning difficulties and reading difficulties, they might help the students by developing their learning abilities and enthusiasm for reading. This study suggests reading guidance program should be used to improve students' learning and reading activities as elementary school students can have more interests to specific topics through the edutainment comics.

The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of step-by-step educational comic book behavior of the elementary school students and their reading levels on their learning competencies. To this end, qualitative research with focus group and deep interviews was conducted with students on different reading levels. During their repetitive reading activities, the students tended to use various educational comics within the same subjects area on their corresponding reading levels. Such behavior led the students to further read other books than comics in the similar subjects areas, and by doing so, the books acted as an important reference to the students' class materials. It was found that the students' such behavior has positive impact on the improvement of their learning competencies. It is hoped that this study will be supportive to develop self-study methods and effective reading guidance plans by improving the usage of educational comics.

This study is part of a larger project that investigated the patterns of children's use of educational graphic novels (EGNs), a publication format that has been popular among young readers in Korea since 2000. In-depth interviews with elementary school teachers and school librarians uncovered tension and gaps between these adult professionals and children's enjoyment of the format. Interviewees' views on EGNs ranged from limited tolerance to a potential candidate for high-interest / low-vocabulary reading. All teachers and school librarians urged for guidelines and criteria for selecting and evaluating EGNs for children.

This study aims at expressing the correlation of 'creativity' and 'emotional intelligence' in cartoon expression learning through literary research and correlation analysis. Analyses were made on each sub-factor for the self emotional intelligence evaluation and the creativity evaluation made by experts through cartoon expressions by elementary school students, who are the learners. Studies on preceding research showed that creativity and emotional intelligence had a correlation and that it is common preception that higher creativity is equivalent to higher emotional intelligence. However, results of correlation analysis in this study showed that while there is a relation between creativity evaluation and emotional intelligence in cartoon expression learning, not all factors were correlated. Furthermore, the results of emotional evaluation of the upper and lower group learners did not show similar results in the creativity evaluation. Through this study, it can be said that for emotional intelligence and creativity factors, finding the appropriate emotional intelligence development method would be the way to enhance creativity. Therefore, in order to develop creativity through cartoon expression learning, systematic research should be performed for extracting the relative emotional intelligence factors.

This study investigates the effect of cloze procedure using either cartoons or texts on academic interests and reading achievements. Three equivalent classes were selected from an 1st grade in elementary school in terms of academic interests and reading achievements. While two experimental conditions used cloze procedure either with cartoons or texts during 15 lessons, the control condition used a traditional reading procedure. The results indicated that cloze procedure with cartoons enhanced academic interests in reading only for low achievement participants. Cloze procedure condition also outperformed the control condition on both immediate and delayed dictation test. In particular, cloze procedure with cartoons were quite effective for low achievement participants. Lastly, both types of cloze procedure facilitated overall comprehension test score, specifically inferential understanding test score but not factual understanding test score. Based on these findings, the types of text and learning strategy to improve academic interests and reading-related achievements were discussed.

The accessibility and effect of cartoon on children are very significant. Since cartoon is a medium of conveying information through text and pictures, it has a characteristic of being easily approached by children than any other medium. Its accessibility to children is inevitably more exceptional than any other medium in the sense that it is a method of not only telling or reading stories but also showing stories. The main audience of is children. It has a characteristic of being easily accepted by children since it's mythology seen in cartoon than read in text. However, gods conducts are full of unethical expressions. Sexual expressions of intermarriages between mother and son, between brother and sister and between uncle and niece, as well as extramarital intercourse are very unethical that could have negative effects on children. This study analyzed the unethical expressions of gods that could have negative effects on children at current point in time. Zeus was often unfaithful to his wife with many stories about the children of Zeus that were created from extramarital intercourse. Standard of value on rational decision has been established for adult readers, but children can readily accept things since they lack their own rational decision on what's right and wrong. As an alternative to children's uncritical observatory study, there is a need for author's intervention to help children form desirable values. The purpose of this study is to analyze the sexual expressions of Zeus and gods in that could affect children's social study.
