패전 직후 일본의 역사교육 쟁점과 대안 모색

Abstract

This study looked into centrally activities of the ‘History Educationalist Conference of Japan(歷敎協)' who tried to find the solution for controversial issues in history education aftermath World War II in Japan. Especially, in spite of criticism from history education society, ‘Social Studies Course' which was adopted, as the part of an occupation policy of the 'Allied Military Administration', to overcome the militarist history education of the past, was dramatically accepted, as the name of ‘Social Studies on History Education', by history education society of Japan. In the situation of rapid change in domestic and international, as Japanese education authority was back to reactionary education policy, history education society, showing opposite movement to amendment of ‘Social Studies Course', chose the ‘Social Studies on History Education' which is securing the democracy and international peace. As shown in the reinforcement of patriotic education and authorization of ‘JIYUSHA(自由社)‘ history text book recently, wrong-directed awareness for history and reinforcement of nationalism by Japanese authority is to ruin the value of the democracy and international peace, aimed by 'Social Studies on History Education'. Because ‘Social Studies on History Education' which had been criticizing the militarist history education before the World War II and studied as the alternative for it, has been showing that good direction of history education is to aim the universal value and peaceful patriotism. The process of adopting the ‘Social Studies on History Education' in Japan gives us the chance to know the good direction of history education and also gives Japanese authority the cue to solve the problem of history conflict with asian countries.
