뇌교육이 내포하는 세 가지 교육영역의 특징과 의미 = The Characteristics and Meanings of Three Related Educational Fields Involved in Brain Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The main aim of this paper is to understand the characteristics and meanings of brain education in connection with existing educational theories and practices based on the knowledge of the human brain, and lastly to clarify the possibility of brain education as a new academic subject. To do this, I organized the existing brain educational theories and practices into three fields ``brain-knowledge education,`` ``brain-experience education`` and ``brain-based education``. The goal of brain education is a brain operating system that presupposes all three fields. In order to distinguish the characteristics and significance of brain education, I examined the strengths and weaknesses of each field, and also the interrelationship of these three fields. As a result of this study, I found that brain education can be a new educational subject that aims to improve the knowledge and experiences in the brain itself. It also makes the teaching-learning processes compatible to human brain`s natural way of learning. As the goal, and indeed the core, of all educational practices is a deeper understanding of humanity, brain education has the potential to become the basis of all educational subjects in the very near future because it deepens our knowledge of how the brain is the essential agent in all learning.
