능력주의 교육과 자존감: 롤즈의 시선에서 본 한국의 능력주의 교육 현실 = meritocratic education and self-esteem: The reality of Korea’s meritocracy education from Rawls’ perspective

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The discussion of fairness triggered by Michael Sandel’s criticism of the meritocratic myth has been discussed as a social issue in Korea. Education is always a hot topic at this time. At the root of Korea’s education policy lies a meritocratic view of education, and for this reason, schools have functioned as a venue for competition for entrance exams. However, contrary to the intensifying theoretical discussion, there is still a strong perception in Korean values that the realization of meritocracy guarantees fairness. In other words, the social acceptance of the immorality of the meritocratic view of education and the movement of change are delayed. I will discuss Rawls’ theory of self-esteem after discussing meritocracy in education and the reality of Korean education. Based on this process, first, we will review the reality of meritocratic education in Korea based on Rawls’ theory of self-esteem, and second, based on this, we will urge a change in the reality of meritocratic education in Korea.
