Social Education is from Mars, Lifelong Education is from Venus

Han， Soonghee

This article argues that the concepts of ‘social education’ and ‘lifelong education’ had been rooted and developed from different origins and theoretical foundations. Although mixed in usage, it shows the two concepts has evolved from the clearly different species, as like one from Mars and the other from Venus. The article shows that the academic irrationalities and conceptual mistakes for last ten years in the academic community, or lifelong education societies in Korea, have been based on the simple mistake of identifying the two key concepts each other without further in-depth philosophical analysis. The concept of lifelong education, I argue, stands for a chosen perspective or theoretical construction invented to understand and re-structure the educational practice and theory, while the term social education stands for the field of practice, contrasting to school education, as more focusing on remedial and compensatory education for the marginalized. This article, based upon the presumption, explains further on the nature of the chosen perspective that lifelong education has built in the last several decades in Korean academic community.
