탈현대적 가정교육을 위한 제언-'주역'을 바탕으로-

Abstract

As social structures has changed, so have the family roles. In the pre-modern society, family took part of socializing and educating children through home training. But, in modern society, family has transferred its economic, educational, religious, and political functions to the respective professional organizations and has lost these functions. Nevertheless, one of the most important roles of family is home education and the disciplining role of family can not be emphasized too much in the rapidly changing social structures such as modern society. The present state of home education can be characterized as follows. First, modern home education has lost its directions about what to pursue and what to teach. Second, the objective of modern home education is focused on aiding children to achieve the modern style success. Third, the main concern of modern home education is to help children to overcome and solve their problems. The above-mentioned features of modern home education only serve to expand the ego of children but the ultimate happiness can not be obtained through the expansion of ego. Given this, this is the time to face the problems of modern home education and develop some arguments of new home education for post-modern society. Modern society is destined to give its way to post-modern society, where the purpose and content of general education will be changed and thus the purpose and quality of home education will be changed, too. In order to map out post-modern home education, this paper attempts to set up the purpose of post-modern home education, to plan its content, and to propose the methods of post-modern home education. The proposal for post-modern home education will be based on I-Ching, which can provide practical and concrete answers for the questions made in modern society because it includes plenty of creative wisdoms.
