Since the 3·1 Independence Movement, spread and advancement of the cultural enlightenment movement generated a raise of the zeal for children`s education. The defusion of the reconstruction theory(改造論) made the development of personal ability as an social issue. And also, the consciousness change of children increased the interest of its education. Therefore, the founding movement of kindergarten in the 1920s is worthy of attention.
The defusion of children`s education brought the interest of the training and qualification of kindergarteners. Children education department affiliated with a kindergarten grew to the statue of childcare school which was a professional education organization. Since the late of the 1920s, many lectures for the improvement of kindergartener`s qualification were held in some regions. But a national organization for kindergartener`s reeducation or rights was not appeared.
The Chosun Childcare Association was a representative educational organization which was founded by interested people on July in 1931. It was intended to advance the children education including protecting kindergarteners`s rights and improving their qualification. It also held a dance lecture on every July from 1932 to 1940 supported by a department of art and science of the Dong-A Ilbo press company. More than 100 kindergarteners attended the lecture from all over the nation. The lecture made a great appeal to them and later, its capacity was increased to 200 people. Even people from Manchuria and Siberia were took part in it. So, some kindergarteners who were under the inspiration of their passion organized various local study groups.
Under this background, the established criticism and debates of children education were intensified. Especially, members of the Chosun Childcare Association published and distributed all sorts of textbooks or reference books related to the children education. As a result, they could build the foundation of grafting the advanced theory onto the real classroom. This is a historical importance of the Chosun Childcare Accosiation.
