This paper aims to analyze middle and high school textbooks of Korean and ethics. More specifically, it’s about how much those books are relevant to the filial piety and what kind of content they have.
As a result, there’s a variety of filial piety-content in Korean textbooks. Although most of them are for Korean language education, it’s meaningful in that it can make students realize how precious filial piety is and help them think, feel about it.
The textbooks of ethics and morals, meanwhile, discuss filial piety as an independent chapter. But most of the content is simply emphasizing filial piety as necessary virtues between parents and children.
There has been a lack of concrete and systematic interest in the practice of filial piety, such as what the true meaning of filial piety is, why it should be emphasized in modern society, and what should be done in order to practice filial piety.
Textbooks are an important factor of education in that they are considered as the basics of living and they can also provide students with a better way of life. In this regard, it is meaningful to analyze the contents of filial piety education in those textbooks.
