중국 조선족학교의 ‘학교문화’ 연구 －교표(校標)를 중심으로－

Abstract

I have studied the designs, the features, and the contents in the School Symbols of Chinese-Korean Schools in China. These schools have intended to make the students realize their own identity, and also make the students, parents, and all the teachers become one through ‘the School Symbol.’ To begin with, about the recent situations of the School Symbols of Chinese-Korean Schools in China, firstly, there are no written data about it. Secondly, there are no motivated intentions to use the school cultured school symbols in diverse ways, and eventually they have not been used. Thirdly, the iconography is often used. Fourthly, the English initials have been used to indicate that they are not Chinese Schools. Fifthly, there are different colours indicating different meanings. Then, I have studied generally in what the meanings of the School Symbols have. Firstly, the cultured school symbols put emphasis on the students being Koreans in diverse ways. Secondly, they contain all the characteristics of the education and district such as the names and the philosophy. Thirdly, there are the messages of overcoming the hardships and trials which can be interpreted in various ways. I do hope that this report would motivate researchers to study more of the vanishing school symbol cultures of the Chinese-Korean Schools in China and to help the fewer number of the Chinese-Korean Schools in China to be successive. We Koreans should extend our school activities from South Korea to the Korean descendants outside of this country.
