Abstract:

This paper explores the application of Chavruta from Jewish education to Korean education. It examines, in particular, the discussion culture under King Sejong the Great in the Chosun Dynasty. It begins by describing Jewish education and Chavruta which stemmed from the multiple Jewish identity, assessing the impact of Chavruta and its reception in Korea. The discussion shifts to the present status of Korean education and traces back to its past influences from the Japanese colonial era through the U.S. military government period to the Korean War. Then, it focuses on the educational context conducted by King Sejong in the Chosun Dynasty, which is closely associated with the essence of Chavruta. Finally, it proposes to set the vision to practice of Korean Chavruta, emphasizing the potential to foster the integration of it into Korean education.
