韓國 書院의 儒敎文化體驗 敎育旅行에 관한 硏究

Abstract

Korean Confucianism culture put a great emphasis on the Filial Piety Thought among various elements such as character, thought, philosophy, spirit, learning, and values. The representative Confucianism educational institution was the Seowon. The Seowon had been the representative educational institution for more than 400 years and was designated as a national and regional cultural assets. Cultural Properties Administration tries to promote the Seowon whose image has been an old and outdated, as an traditional educational place for the general public. This study tries to propose Seowon as an authentic Confucianism culture experience place for educational travel based on the analysis of Seowon’s historic cultural characters. Seowon’s historic cultural characters could be classified as five categories such as educational place, a meeting place for intellectual people, social educational place, ethical action place, and library and publishing functional place. The Seowon has been the symbolic private school of regional education based on pursuit of study and a special place with educational policies and personality. The study suggests five principles of Seowon’s supervision and direction as an authentic Confucianism culture experience place for educational travel.
