Like we know, when Western social and human theories are accepted as grand theories that can explain social and human phenomena of other societies, it becomes a disaster not only to the societies those theories are accepted but also to the Western societies. In this paper I suggest an alternative and regional way of seeing - battle field theory of education – the phenomena of extremely high zeal for education, exam hell, and higher education expansion. And based on that perspective, I reanalize educational problems and their origins, and prescribe alternative solutions. The battle field theory defines the present situation of Korean education as ‘war for education. ’ The battle field theory of education is focusing on the individual while admitting the existence of a ‘ loosely coupled system and structure.' I call this view the ‘ individualistic structural view ’ The theory focuses on the individual in the structure and argues that the individual’s behavior does not necessarily reflect and represent the structure’s intention. This view assumes that the individual has partially free will that is different from the group’s will. In this point, we can call this view an 'individualistic structural view.’ Second, this view sees the group or class as a ’loosely coupled structure. ’ According to this view, the group interests are not as solid as any other views assert and sometimes the inner-group conflicts are bigger than the inter-group conflicts. This view assumes that when there are conflicts between the group or class interests and personal interests, people choose to protect their personal interests rather than their group’s. Third, this view is distinguished from other views in the point that it doesn’t accept or reject assumptions of any state theory. It might be categorized as ’a state-free view,' like the context perspective. The battle field theory of education theory lose explanation power in Korea when it becomes a wealthy country, it has a fixed social structure, and educational credential doesn’t work as an important ticket for class movement. Most theories in the field of social and human studies are built based on a certain time, space, and people. The explanation power of a theory is usually changed when the context is changed.
