『태학성전』의 학사운영규정 분석

Abstract

This study aims at analysing the regulations in the 『Confucian University Code, 太學成典』 and revealing the structure of the educational operation of the Confucian University(成均館) in the end of the 17th century of Jo-Seon dynasty. The results are as follows. First, the educational operation was divided into two domains. The one was a usual test domain and the other was a national encouragement examination(課試) domain. The former was applied to the resident students(居齋生) and the latter was applied to both the resident students and the outside students(方外儒生). Second, the various examinations played a central role of the educational operation. So the schedule of the examinations was carefully designed to promote the learning of the students. Third, the primary beneficiary of the educational operation was the resident students. But the Confucian National University endeavored to strengthen the opportunity of the outside students. The rotation system of the boarding(輪回居齋) and the roster of the students(靑衿錄) were used as the important means to the educational equity.
