정을 위한 교육 -페미니즘적 유아교육의 한 방향- = Teaching Children to Care: An Exposition of Feminist Early Childhood Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article examines the implications of feminism on early childhood education. The feminist paradigm is the radical variety rather than the liberal one. It is more concerned with feminist dimensions of human functioning rather than liberation of women from male-dominated social practices. There are two implications of radical feminism on education: to teach with care and to teach to care. The argument of this article stresses teaching to care. Young children should be taught by teachers with care, of course; but, more importantly, they may have to be taught to care for something themselves, including people, other living creatures, the environment, and ideas. This feminist ethics of care is not simply complementary to that of male-oriented objectivist justice; rather, at least according to Noddings, it purports to encompass a general philosophy of education covering all aspects of curriculum.
