Abstract

Education plays a big role in setting one’s life, goals, and direction correctly in a rapidly changing reality like modern society. Therefore, the general view is that problems in modern society come from moral insensitivity or loss of humanity, and that solving these problems should be solved from education. This paper started with this sense of problem and sought to find ways to be used in personality education in the 21st century through consideration of Woo-gye’s educational ideas. In terms of education, the will to learn on its own is the most important thing for Woo-gye, and it is said that education will maximize the efficiency of education only when it is tried to learn on its own because it is motivated and firm. Also, the right form of learning and education for the Woo-gye is education that establishes sustainable lifelong learning, which makes humans human, and improves human dignity. Lifetime learning is the way to achieve an ideal human image, and the fundamental ideology of education is the process of human formation. Woo-gye emphasized moral practice more than any Neo-Confucian, taught himself to enlighten himself, and tried to realize his moral self by presenting the task of lifelong learning. Woo-gye’s educational ideas can be said to have an important meaning that suggests in which direction Korea's personality education should move forward.
