Abstract

This study looks closely at how descriptions in the language reading book of the Joseon Dynasty has been modified accordingly throughout the development of educational policy during the Japanese colonial period. It also focuses on the changing aspect and the features that reveal the essence of the colonial education during the time. Analyzing the description of 'the Joseon style' as it was excluded and the description of 'a dog who was unselfish' explains a phenomenon of the compromise between the cautious Confucian abstinence and the Japanese colonial ruling logic. The text book as it was utilized by public schools under the fourth Joseon educational policy, aimed for the pure Korean. Thus, it can be noted that there is a clear direction of 'the Joseon style'. Also, according to the “Rehabilitation”, the fictiveness of the model 'Kim Jae Ho' who represented the colonial model was criticized. The study confirms the textbook being termed as 'the yellow chrysanthemum colonization and the failure of the description'. For instance, 'a dog who was unselfish' and 'an ant and a grasshopper' are two allegorical descriptions included in the textbook remained throughout the Japanese Empire from the early colonial period. From these descriptions, we learn that the characters were the symbol of the human-type which the Japanese Empire intended to mass-produce over the all educational processes of the colonial period.
