북한의 공업부문 과학기술인력 양성체계 마련과 활용(1945~1953년)

Abstract

The study aims to create a frame for science and technology human resource development in North Korea’s industrial sector for the period between 1945 and 1953. The findings illustrate that along with the establishment of educational institutions, the “long-standing intelligentsia” was included to the “People’s scientist” and the development of “new intelligentsia” was encouraged among the working class. The thesis examines the dispatch of students to study in the Soviet Union so as to foster the younger generation. Additionally, the scope of the analysis covers the recruitment process of science and technology personnel from South Korea. The research also questions the reasons and motivations behind the establishment of the Academy of Sciences in April 1952 during the Korean War.The work analyzes the development of the science and technology personnel’s daily training during the Korean War, and what role was played in the industrialization by the students returning from the SovietUnion. Not only the quantitative analysis of the growth of science and technology personnel was finalized but also the qualitative analysis of the principles of fostering the development of “industrial-academic cooperation” production sites was conducted. The preparation of the necessary human resources at the time when the foundation for self-reliant industrialization was first laid was the starting point for cultivating people who would develop industry with their own hands, power, and resources in line with the actual situation in North Korea.
