ABSTRACT

This study is to examine whether the core values and virtues of character education, as defined by the Personality Education Promotion Act, are valid from the main approach of character education, and to suggest the direction of character education to cultivate character virtues in that approach. To this end, we understood the seven approaches of the main approach to character education, looked at the relevance of character virtues in accordance with what was central to each approach, and looked at how character education should be done on the basis of each approach. The results are as follows: First, by grasping the meaning of where each major approach to character education should focus and provide character education, the eight core values a nd virtues of character education: etiquette, filial piety, honesty, responsibility, respect, consideration, and communication. In addition, it was possible to determine whether cooperation is an important virtue of character education. Second, the direction of character education was presented in the plan and major approaches for cultivating the core values and virtues of character education. This study is meaningful in that it provided knowledge and access to the attributes of character education virtues in the absence of clear understanding and consensus on character education at school sites, and that it identified the emphasis within the main approach of character education and suggested the criteria for character education where the focus of character education should be placed.
