‘군사부일체’의 교육적 의미

Abstract

The doctrine of king-master-father trinity was accepted as a major educational norm in traditional education. It is ordinarily mentioned as an meaningful phrase also in contemporary educational context. The reason seems that its educational significance passes through both traditional and contemporary education. The aim of this study is to clarify the meaning of this doctrine and to derive its educational implications in contemporary educational context. The general meaning of this doctrine is that as a king, a master and a father's benefit are the same, they must be served equally. In this study, its meaning is attempted to be interpreted in two ways, the view of identity and of singularity, with relevance to education. The view of identity corresponds to the general meaning of the doctrine. It means that a king, a master, and a father are in the same status respectively and stresses 'the respect and gratitude for a master'. Meanwhile, the view of singularity broadens the domain of its general meaning. It means that they are in one body and emphasizes their diversity and integrity in education.
