교육학으로서의 교육인류학 탐색

Abstract

Man is not only a being but also becoming. This enables us to understand man through both aspects. The science of education focuses on the becoming aspect. When we understand the becoming aspect we can understand the being aspect better too. Anthropology of Education and Educology of Anthropos understand humans through the becoming aspect. But there are some radical differences between them. Anthropology of Education regards education as a cultural transmission process only. In this point of view, we cannot understand precisely all the human becoming process. This is because, human becoming does not only go through the cultural transmission process, but also through the culture diffusion process or acculturation process. Educology of Anthropos regards education as a form of life in which human reflects upon the existing culture and renovates it. In this point of view, we are able to understand the human becoming process as an education, and not the Pedagogics but the Educology we can set up. The Educology of Anthropos understands the becoming aspect of humans in relation to a culture. But, to set up the Educology of Anthropos as a science, we have to make a provision for its own research method. I have suggested briefly a educological research method for the study of Educology of Anthropos. In my opinion, the Educology of Anthropos has just started. But it can contribute to improve Korean dark school and our everyday life.
