영문 초록

The study examines the problems and limits of Sohak(小學) as a textbook of moral education, despite the high evaluation of its being the standard of moral education. As a beginner level text of Confucianism, Sohak had been considered to be an important text of man-making framework both in China and the Chosen dynasty, for it presented more typical Confucian principles and methods than other Confucian classics. Moreover, different from other Confucian classics, Sohak was designed to match the stages of development of moral consciousness and the proper educational methods corresponding to them. However, Sohak had some problems and limits as the following: Firstly, Sohak was too difficult for the beginners. It was directed toward children aged seven to fifteen, so it would be more effective if written in verse. Secondly, there also had been some problems in introducing Sohak from China into Korea. In Chosen dynasty, Sohak had been more valued by those Confucian moralists who emphasized rituals, who adopted the examples of rituals and moral behavior at face value without paying enough attention to the philosophical significance underlying in them. Thirdly, as Sohak also laid more stress upon the ideal of the Confucian ethics, it tended to estrange from the actual situation of the children's mental development. Most of all, it took little account of the particularity of children's personalities. Because of its excessive emphasis upon virtue(仁) and human essence based on the four virtues(四端), it neglected the natural process of human life.
