About A Korean History For International Readers: What Do

Product description This book is a historical text that covers Korean history from its foundation to the modern era. It especially deals with pre-modern societies of Korea in detail. Despite its long history, life in its society and its culture are rarely spoken of outsides the peninsula. Rather than arranging the historical events chronologically, this book focuses more on the details of the historical events by questioning how the diverse experiences that Koreans had affected their life and culture and what influences that culture had on constructing Korean history. This is the reason why we publish this book, although there are already numerous books that introduced Korean history. Readers could realize what Koreans have endured and how it lead to their position in the world today. It also mentions their moral values and what they believe is right or wrong. About the Author The Association of Korean History TeachersThis association was launched in 1988 by history teachers for the purpose of providing students with a lively history education based on accurate historical perspectives and visualization of the past. Currently there are about 2,000 members who are actively working for this organization throughout the country, and we have been developing teaching materials in specialization of regional, Korean, East-Asian, and World history in accordance to individual subject curricula. Furthermore, we show concern in other educational methods such as the Internet, photos, videos, and field trips as well as theorizations. Based upon our accomplishments, we endeavor to make history a part of public knowledge while publishing History Education, a quarterly magazine specializing in history education in Korea. We have published the following list of books ever since: Our History in view of art (1992); Our History in view of Historical Materials I.II (1994); Korea through the Ages I.II (2002); How Should We Teach History to Our Children? (2002); Lively World History Textbook I.II (2005); Mutually Facing Korean and Japanese History I.II (2006); History, What Should We Teach and How? (2008); Living as a History Teacher (2008); Delighted Korean History for Elementary Schools, 1~10 (2010).
