남붕南鵬의 일기를 통해 본 1920년대 영덕 지역의 신구新舊 교육갈등

Abstract

This paper deals with the background, development, and closing process of the conflict between old education and new education in Yeongdeok area in 1920s. From the end of the Joseon Dynasty, new education gradually replaced the previous Confucian education, and under Japanese colonial rule, modern schools was being established in each village as well as in the cities. However, the conflict between new and old education was inevitable as Confucian education has not yet completely disappeared. The conflict was not temporary, but lasted for a considerable time, and the scope was also nationwide. The education conflict in the Yeongdeok area was ostensibly a confrontation between Yurim and young people over the establishment of the new school. Young people argued that they would establish a new school called Taehwa School太和學院 at the site of Yeonghae Hyanggyo寧海鄕校, while Confucian scholars argued that Hyanggyo is an institution of Confucian education, so we cannot build a new school. Government offices intervened in this conflict, and the conflict ended with the establishment of the school. In this paper, I argued that the background of this conflict was the Japanese imperialism's education policy and the Hyanggyo policy. I also claimed that the government office were involved in the position of controller or manager not coordinator. This paper was written in text in Haejuilllok海洲日錄, a diary written by a scholar named Nambung南鵬, a party to the conflict.
