Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to clarify the characteristics of peace education (PE) in South Korea. To this end, this paper investigated the following three specific areas: First of all, it drew on previous research to describe trends in PE in South Korea. Next, it presented how unification education (UE), which is the center of PE in South Korea, has changed. Finally, it examined the reality of school unification education (SUE) in order to see what types of PE and UE are practiced in schools. As a result of this study, the following four characteristics of PE in South Korea were clarified. First, UE is at the center of the discussion of PE in South Korea. Second, UE in South Korea is shifting from an anti-communist approach to a peace and UE approach. Third, SUE is carried out throughout the curriculum, centered on experience, events, and connection with the community. Fourth, classes are carried out mainly by students through dialogue based on discussions. PE like this centered on UE is expected to continue in South Korea for the time being.
