『教育時論』における朝鮮教育に関する一考察

抄録

  KyōikuJiron was a Japanese educational magazine published three times a month between 1885 and 1934, aggregating 1762 volumes. It contained numerous articles written by Japanese educational officials, scholars, and educators, whose content encompassed information about educational publications and literary works such as novels and poems, as well as ideas, systems, and policies. It was one of the oldest magazines of its time in Japan and was published continually for 50 years. Thus, it served as a source that disseminated an understanding of the opinions of varied groups and was influential because it made discrete viewpoints easily accessible to ordinary readers, rather than government-published work.

  This paper examined the page make-up and characteristics of KyōikuJiron, and subsequently analyzed the magazine’s contents related to Korean education. The scrutiny elucidated several interesting facts. First, the page make-up of KyōikuJiron was changed to reflect educational issues and trends. Second, only a few articles on Korean education were published in this magazine; however, it functioned significantly to provide information about Korean education to Japanese readers. Third, in particular, the study observed the spread of negative images on mission schools and Seodang. To summarize, this paper could constitute as an important reference for examining the perception of Japanese intellectuals apropos Korean education at that time.
