죽음교육의 정당화와 그것의 교수방법 탐구

Abstract

This study was tried to put death on the center of educational issues. Death is a question about existence, concern for life, grope and effort for life. It is namely a portion of education. Because the education helps someone consider his life, ask himself about it and have a think. Like this, education is interest and love about life, and also means to promote value of life. Value of life is added through consciousness of death. Consciousness about death is an energy for valuable life. Because life has complementary relation to death. Meaningful life is a result of consciousness about death. Death is connected organically with life and death is unitive part of life. There is no life without death and the life, too, is adding that meaning through the death. Thus ‘death' is the basis for valuable living. Therefore understanding about death have to be together in order to understand life and manage valuable life. You need looking squarely death and an effort for learning something in this point in order to look back value of life. However education from until now has disliked and forbid that simply understanding death by unclean thing and having been looked away from place of education. Death education is teaching to make supporting themselves carefully until the end. Now we must grope for relation of life and death in desirable direction and also approach to it wholly and dynamically, not any more malformed moral education that leaned to ‘life’. Hereupon I propose death education's necessity on the basis of culture about death that is inherited in our life.
