Whitehead의 유기체 철학에 근거한 유기체적 교육의 방향

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore and present the direction of organic education that overcomes the real problems of Korean education, which is biased toward entrance examination and competition and culti-vates the wisdom of a vital and harmonious life by examining the basic characteristics of Whitehead's organism philosophy and education.
 Methods To this end Whitehead's nuclear power plant and related literature were studied to understand the basic concepts and core theories of organism philosophy, and based on this, the purpose, content, and method of or-ganic education were considered.
 Results Since all parts of organism philosophy are interrelated and connected as a whole, it was confirmed that education based on this should be a direction in which learning content and learner's lives are organically con-nected and life wisdom should be constructed around the relationship and interaction between educators, learning materials and fellow learners surrounding learners.
 Conclusions In organic education, educational content should be organically connected for the purpose of applica-tion to learners' lives, intellectual thinking and aesthetic sense are harmonized, generality and professionalism are harmonized, learners' voluntary and free intellectual search and precise and verified knowledge are harmonized, and people, objects, and nature around learners should cultivate personality that pursues symbiosis, harmony, and cooperation.
