도덕과교육에서 선한 인간 본성에 관한 연구: Bregman과 Tomasello의 실증적 연구를 중심으로 = A Study on the Good Human Nature in Moral Subject Education: Focusing on the Empirical Study of Bregman and Tomasello

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives This study aims to explore the goodness of human nature, focusing on the empirical research of Bregman and Tomasello, to find the meaning of moral education and to suggest practical directions.
Methods To this end, representative cases that seem to represent the wickedness of human nature were explored and objected based on Bregman's research. And through Tomasello's research, this study attempted to examine the experimental results that could prove the goodness of human nature and the human moral evolution scenario from a reasonable perspective. Based on this, an attempt was made to induce the formation of a positive perspective on humans in moral subject education and to suggest the direction of moral education.
Results Bregman corrects errors by re-examining war and slaughter, psychology experiments, and media reports that seem to reveal the wickedness of human nature. In the process, he found that many participants showed good motivational behavior. Tomasello revealed the inherently moral aspect of modern humans through evolutionary psychology experiments. And he constructed the evolutionary process of morality leading to large apes, early humans, and modern humans through the interdependence hypothesis. As a result, an empirical and scientific basis was established for teachers to form a positive perspective on children in moral education.
Conclusions The results of Bregman and Tomasello's research demonstrate the goodness of human nature empirically and scientifically. Considering this, participants in moral education, especially teachers, will be able to indirectly influence based on a positive perspective on humans in general, and will be able to conceive and practice direct educational activities.
