조선총독부 발행 1930~40년대 교과서의 보건･위생론

Abstract

The theory of health and sanitation in 1930s textbooks emphasizes arousing a sense of hygiene. This pointed to the Joseon people''s hygiene, and they said to strive for the “public interest.” In the 1910s and 20s, the logic was that health and hygiene were necessary for filial piety, public interest and loyalty, but by the 1930s, filial piety and loyalty disappeared, and only “public interest” remained explicitly in textbooks. In addition, the description that the hygiene concept of Joseon people has not been spread still emphasizes the inferiority of Joseon people''s spirit. Another popular health and hygiene theory in 1930s textbooks is the emphasis on cleaning. It also intended to foster the spirit of labor through cleaning, reflecting the reality of vocational education emphasized in the revised Joseon Education Ordinance. And the usual physical training is also the main content of health and hygiene theory of health and hygiene. In the wartime system, a different theory of health and hygiene emerged than usual. Children needed health to grow into soldiers and producers. In addition, infectious diseases were recognized as cancerous to increase productivity, and they were also a major obstacle in avoiding air strikes in air defense shelters. Thus, injection was implemented as a preventive measure against epidemics, and the textbook included a unit called ‘injection’. At the end of the Japanese Colonial Period, he emphasized the state again, stating that mental and physical health was a requirement for the good people of the imperial army.
