Educational Principles of Character Building in Traditional Child Education Books24攀* Assistant Professor, Kosin University攀攀Kim, Hyang-eun*This study explored traditional education for character building in Korean society. Through the analysis of the contents in such traditional Korean child education books as “Myung Shim Bo Gam”, “So Hak”, “Dong Mong Sun Seup”, “Kyuk Mong Yo Kyul”, “Sa So Geol”, and “Yae Gi”, educational principles for character building in traditional Korean society were identified as (1) presentation of desirable role model, (2) integration of knowledge and behavior, and (3) reinforcement of the good manners. From these findings, we can conclude that traditional child education in Korean society (1) seeks the contingent educational approaches and principles for character building, the educational goal or ideal, (2) gives good guidance to parents and teachers who have the significant influences on children’s character development, and (3) suggests implication to modern child education practices which are mainly concerned with knowledge and function for competition and survival.
