인성태교를 위한 임신부의 회복탄력성 프로그램 개발 ― 『태교신기(胎敎新記)』를 중심으로 ―

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a resilience program for pregnant women focusing on 『New Theory of Prenatal Education』 aimed for prenatal moral education. Prenatal education is the first education that parents provide for their children, and it can have a great influence on their emotional stability and morality formation as well as brain development. It is generally said that the period when moral education may begin is early childhood, but Lee Sajudang wrote it as the fetal period. This can be seen in Chapter 1:1 of 『New Theory of Prenatal Education』, the first prenatal book in Korea: “Morality is formed through the heaven as the ground, and temperament is made by parents.” It means that the more the temperament acquired from parents is biased, the more the temperament obscures the personality granted from the heaven, which may have a negative effect eventually. In other words, it can be reinterpreted that the beginning of moral education is prenatal education. From this point of view, as the subjects of prenatal education are parents and they have the roles for it, moral education may begin simply by recognizing the importance of prenatal education as a person in charge of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare. For women, pregnancy is an important and precious event in which they can experience physical, mental, and social changes. As anxious emotions in pregnant women can have a great impact on the fetus, mental resilience to lower the stress level of pregnant women must be such an important part. Women should develop the ability to cope with any changes occurring upon pregnancy. Since prenatal education starts from the body and mind of parents, if this is set for the starting point of moral education, it is obvious that a child will be born with the solid Sadan (四端) of personality. Therefore, this study first presents the resilience index for pregnant women for prenatal moral education. Based on the results of the checking, this researcher developed a self-regulating habit checklist program for pregnant women based on the contents of 『New Theory of Prenatal Education』. This attempt will serve as a basis to develop resilience programs and resilience indexes for pregnant women more profoundly afterwards for prenatal moral education.
