Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility and significance of genealogy as an educational research method. This paper analyzed the concepts and characteristics of genealogy, and explored examples of research using genealogical methodology. Through this, the meaning and significance of genealogy as an educational research method are discussed and strategies for utilizing genealogy as an educational research tool are suggested. 
 Genealogy is the work of tracing the origins of knowledge about current concepts and of analyzing changes. It is a tool that can analyze that the knowledge we take for granted is not spontaneous but contains power relations. In particular, if genealogy is used as an educational research tool, it will be possible to be of help in conceptual reconstruction and practical development.
 The strategies for using genealogy as an educational research method are as follows. First, research starts by raising questions about the concept. Second, in order to collect data, a wide and vast amount of data is collected. Third, during the analysis, concepts are deconstructed and critically analyzed. Fourth, interpretation is done with the subjectivity of the researcher in mind. Fifth, in the writing stage, the researcher constantly reflects on themself.
 If we use genealogy when conducting educational research, we will be able to seriously reflect on the educational problems we are currently facing, and this will help us come up with new alternatives. This is expected to contribute to individual growth and to innovative changes in the education system.
