An Analysis of Discussions on "Korea is the Second Ireland": Focused on John Dewey

이길상,최정희 한국학중앙연구원 한국학중앙연구원 2015 THE REVIEW OF KOREAN STUDIES Vol.18 No.2

John Dewey, a well-known American educational philosopher who had led the so-called progressive educational movement in early 20th century, visited East Asia around 1920 for a while. Facts about his visit, not to mention the meaning or impact of his visit, were not fully researched yet, while his educational thoughts have had deep and wide impacts on educational theory and practices in this region since then. Especially Korea is one of the countries in Asia where the thought and theory of John Dewey extended strong influence in educational reforms and academic debates on schooling. Before and after his visit of East Asia, John Dewey expressed his notion about East Asian countries including Korea. His visit, as a matter of course, was done based on his knowledge about this region. This paper is interested in looking for the background, contents, and the significance of his perception of Korea around 1920 when Korea was under the colonial rule of imperial Japan and the name John Dewey was in every intellectual’s mouth. There is not a single article or document on Korea written by John Dewey. Some sentences or paragraphs on Korea are found among his works on Japan and China written by him around 1920. These recordings are fortunately included in the 15 volumes of collection of John Dewey’s middle works compiled by Jo Ann Boydston and published by Southern Illinois University in 1982. These are some parts of the full collection of his writings, making up 37 volumes. This collection is to be analyzed carefully for this research. Dewey’s perception of Korea is well condensed, I assume, in his expression “Korea is the second Ireland” which he used in an article on China in 1919. I would like to clarify the reason why Dewey identified Korea with Ireland by comparing him with other intellectuals who used the same metaphor in Korean history.

The sorption mechanism and behaviors of behaviors acid and its derivatives on Dowex 1-X8,Cl-(200∼400 mesh) have been studied in H2O-MeOH media. The weight distribution coefficients (logD) are increased in the order of NO2>Cl>H>CH3>OH> NH2 in the case of para-substituted derivatives. This order is in agreement with the decreasing order of the plea values of the derivatives. No relationship between logD and plea was found in the case of ortho-substituted derivatives. The sorption behaviors of the acids are markedly influenced by the following factors; (1) the effect of substituted group, (2) the effect of organic solveut, (3) the effect of chloride ion added, and (4) the effect of the pH of the medium.

Benzaldehyde와 Semicarbazide의 결합에 미치는 pH치의 영향

이길상,김인자 대한약학회 1962 약학회지 Vol.6 No.1

Like the condensation reaction of general aldehyde, that of benzaldehyde with semicarbazide also depends upon the concentration of carbonium ion that is produced by hydrogen ion. The lower pH value is the facility of the formation of carbonium ion in the condensation reaction, while the reactivity of semicarbazide as a reactant is reduced. In this paper, therefore we want to find out the optimum pH value in the condensation reaction of benzaldehyde with semicarbazide. This optimum pH value was determined by using the simple paper-chromatographic method. According to the result of this experiment, the condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and semicarbazide reacts with its highest point at 3.5pH value. It seems clear that at this point the benzaldehyde acquires the most suitable amount of carbonium ion for the condensation reaction with semicarbazide, and the semicarbazide also has the optimum reactivity.

미군정기 초등교육의 변화

이길상 한국교육사학회 2003 한국교육사학 Vol.25 No.2

This article examines the main changes in elementary education in Korea from 1945 to 1948, so called, the American Military Government period. At first the real situation and urgent problems to be solved in the field of elementary education at the moment of liberation is examined. Cleaning of colonial legacy in educational system, building and remodeling of school buildings, establishing new teacher training programs, supplying more textbooks were some of the problems at stake. The most prominent changes in educational system were the abolition of discriminative system and the adoption of democratic system, introduction of compulsory education, and reform of curricular system. In this article these three aspects are explained with pertinent documents and educational statistics. Expansion of educational opportunity is also one of the most outstanding changes occurred at that time. Elementary school entrance rate increased from 54% in 1945 to 73% in 1948 approximately. Explosive increase in school students caused many educational and social problems. Serious shortage of teachers demanded some temporary teacher training programs, and it caused the decrease of teachers' level of professional expertise. Textbook shortage was also a serious problem caused by the increase in student numbers which could not solved in a short time. Beyond these a lot of different problems emerged. A great amount of educational finance was required to meet these educational needs. Because of limits in legal sources, however, unlawful educational funds such as parents' donation was flourished and made a negative influence on Korean education. The historical meaning of three years, from 1945 to 1948, in the field of elementary education in Korea is that elementary education reached to a level of universal education, and some experiments to democratize educational practices were made without many successes. Transition from Japanese imperial education to American democratic education was only a superficial phenomenon.

고종 커피독살 기도사건의 역사적 의미

This thesis examines the coffee poisoning attempt against King Gojong that occurred on September 12, 1898. This incident was a symbolic event that reflected the circumstances of the time as a whole, clearly revealed the attitude of leader Gojong, and surfaced all the elements of conflict that our society was experiencing in the process of handling the incident. From the beginning of the incident, it spread into a political debate, and there is an aspect that has flowed in a direction that is not related to the essence of the incident. The means of the incident was a new and unfamiliar drink coffee. Nevertheless, there was no direct debate about the new beverage called coffee. Whether this drink is a healthy drink or a harmful drink, the coffee that the emperor drank was produced in which country and by what route was it imported, and how did it come up on the emperor's dessert table? Whether it is appropriate to use it for entertaining foreign guests, whether or not foreign food should be completely excluded without such a debate, whether or not people who want to follow foreign food or foreign institutions should remain around the emperor. It was used only as an opportunity for conflict. In the process of handling the case, the key issue was whether to maintain the modern-oriented system symbolized by coffee, or whether to discard it and return to the old system. Conservative forces insisted on the revival of the implicative system and beheading system, which were abolished due to the Gabo Reform, and were persistent. Despite persistent and repeated demands, King Gojong chose to maintain the modern system. In the process of handling this case, it is true that King Gojong expressed indecisiveness rather than determination. Nevertheless, choosing to defend the modern system rather than returning to the past showed the ultimate consciousness of King Gojong. In the process of handling this case, the People's Association and the public-private association were held, and a public opinion was formed on the necessity of a kind of representative politics that reflects the will of the people in politics. This was a very valuable experience in the history of our country's politics. Although the institutionalization of representative politics was not achieved, it was very meaningful in the history of Korean politics to have the experience of discussion in that direction. In the early modern period of Korea, coffee was more than a simple foreign product, it was at the center of political debate, and it was a product that symbolized the transition period.

The selective sorption of some transition metal ions, such as Fe(III) and Cu(II), has been studied by using Dowex 1-X8, 5-sulfosalicylate (5-SSA) form resin. The available experimental conditions for using 5-SSA form resin were as follows: the concentration of anion of the solution is below 10-3M and pH range is 3-5. The sorption decreases in the order of Fe(III)>Al(III)>Cu(II)>Mn(II)>Mg(II), which is the same in accordance with their metal-5-SSA complex stabilities. The sorption of some metal ions from the synthetic mixtures has been carrried out in the appropriate conditions.
