栗谷의 人性敎育論

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the value, structure and characteristics of humanity education on the Yulgok(栗谷)’s thought. So first, I discussed what Yulgok's aim of humanity education is. And I analyzed the core contents of the method of Yulgok’s humanity education, and how to establish the norms of the school, which is the main axis of education for the improvement of the humanity education. Finally, we examined teacher evaluation theory to select teachers with appropriate qualities and to evaluate humanity education performance as a subject of yulgok’s humanity education. Through these study, I tried to understand the structure and characteristics of Yulgok 's theory of humanity education, and to grasp the implications for today' s valuable humanity education. Humanity education is the essence of Yulgok’s education, so that it means that education is humanity education. However, Yulgok judged that humanity education was not done properly in the Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, Yulgok suggested a systematic humanity education policy in order to solve the problems of education. Yulgok thought that humanity education should be able to cultivate the good character of human beings, to study the good(善) precisely, and to cultivate the practical ability of the good. Therefore, Yulgok suggested a reasonable way to consistently embody the value of personality education in the process of education goals, methods of education, school norms, selection student & teacher, evaluation teacher. This Yogok 's theory of humanity education implies a worthy meaning that can be accepted and considered in terms of the establishment and implementation of the theory of humanity education in our days.
