Abstract

This paper examines the need and possibility of the convergence between school geography education and traditional geographical knowledge. To this end, it empirically analyzes that indigenous knowledge is a knowledge inherent in liberal community citizenship in Jeju Island’s haenyeo community and traditional residential cultural landscape, and that indigenous knowledge of Jeju Island is highly valuable to pass on to future generations as well as the current generation. Ultimately, this emphasizes that the scope of geography education should include not only objective and scientific geographical knowledge that is empirically verified and universally accepted by students, but also traditional geographical knowledge for cultural appropriateness that provides a distinct cultural identity and explanations that are suitable for local emotions and views.
