17세기 地方敎育政策의 性格 -『課試謄錄』을 중심으로

Abstract

This study aimed at discovering the characters of the policy for the local education in 17century. Especially based on 『Gua-Si-Deung-Lok(課試謄錄)』(the official records of school examination policy), this study founds some characters of the policy. The findings are as follows. First, the major current of the educational policy was conservative. It didn't intend to make any radical changes in educational system, but only focused in revitalizing the educational rules in 16century. So, while the emphasis of the moral education which was to change the practical milieu of the learning did not succeed, the demand for the easy method which forced the students to study by some examinations was increased. Second, 'Gyo-Yang-Guan(敎養官)'(the district teacher-inspector) system was restarted in 1636. Though the concrete informations of the system was not clear, the system sustained until 1671. And from 1650 to 1659, the system effected the vitalizing of the local education. Third, 'Gond-Do-Hwe(公都會)'(the district examination) system was introduced in 1639. Though the system stopped in 1641, it restarted in 1650 and sustained until 1894. The district test system encouraged the local students and helped to improve the standards of their study. These results demand to change the negative standpoint of the present, which regards the educational situation of the latter period of Cho-Seon(朝鮮) dynasty as demolished. And they suggest that it needs to recast the educational facts of the period and to take more careful approach to the concrete situation in time and district.
