Shaping the Educational Legacy
Revisiting resistance
Baby boomers and the collapse of the ‘narrow gate’
This study examines the implications of the ‘equalisation policy’ and the expansion of secondary education in South Korea in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The equalisation policy is one of the most radical school reform attempts in South Korea. A random assignment or lottery system for students was introduced for all middle schools in 1968 and all high schools in 1974, abolishing selective and competitive school-based entrance systems. This sys…
We Should Learn to Live, Learning is Power”
This study examines the pedagogical roles of the print media movement for youth associated with night schools in colonial Korea, focusing on the socialist magazine Pyŏllara (1926–1935). The movement deserves attention because of its educational function, in which activists endeavored to empower young workers. Since formal schooling was limited under colonial conditions, the night schools often complemented the role of public schools, providing op…

Effects of Recreational Physical Activity on Abdominal Obesity in Obese South Korean Adults
This study investigated the effects of general characteristics, health behaviors, and level of physical activity on abdominal obesity in obese adults (BMI (body mass index) ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ) using data from the seventh period (2016-2018) of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). We also prepared basic data on the improvement and management of abdominal obesity. The participants were 2343 obese adults (men, 1338; women, …
Teachers empowered by shame
This paper examines the formation of the teachers’ movement in South Korea, focusing on the publication of the short-lived magazine Minjung Gyoyuk (People’s Education) in 1985. Progressive teachers published this magazine to systematically critique the education practises of the time and seek a new direction for education under repressive conditions, which led to dismissals and arrests of the contributors. This incident became central to the form…
Changes in Physical Activity Compared to the Situation before the Outbreak of Covid-19 in Korea
The purpose of this study is to examine changes in physical activity in Korean society, after the outbreak of COVID-19. Method This study was conducted using the Korean Community Health Survey conducted in 2019 and 2020. Subjects that have been diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes were excluded; a total of 355,914 cases were involved for analysis. In terms of the analysis method, General Linear Model (GLM) was conducted to examine the changes…
Hybrid spaces
This paper examines the memories of Japanese teachers who worked in Korea during the colonial period. By focusing on the autobiographical narratives of three Japanese primary school teachers who worked in rural Korea between 1931 and 1945, this study aims to unpack the relatively under-studied aspects of colonialism. Their narratives carried personal histories regarding their choice to study and work in Korea, the nature of their relationship wit…
Politics and the practice of school change
In this article, we examine the characteristics of a progressive school-change project in South Korea called the Hyukshin School (HS) movement. HSs are public schools that are intended to disseminate progressive and democratic practices. We obtained data from interviews with participating teachers, official documents, reports, and various statements from the stakeholders involved in the project. First, we found that in the case of the HS movement…
A critical dialogue with ‘Asia as method’
This article discusses the implications of the idea of Asia as method, a discursive strategy in Asian studies popularised by Kuan-Hsing Chen, in the context of Korean education. Chen has pointed to the one-way flow of knowledge into Asia from the West and has urged using ‘Asia as method’ in the production of post-colonial and anti-imperialist knowledge. The research interests of this article are twofold. First, I analyse ‘Asia as method’ as a str…
Transnationalising the history of education in modern Korea
Religion, modernity and politics
The work of the Australian mission in the southern part of Korea during the first half of the twentieth century has been a relatively undeveloped subject in scholarly research. By focusing on the educational work of the mission between 1910 and 1941, this article provides an overview of how the missionaries interacted with the Japanese colonial authority and the Korean people. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, it traces how the missi…
