This book concisely describes the core contents of 'History of Education and Philosophy of Education,' using simple terms as much as possible and clarifying the meaning of difficult words.
The major and teacher education course, 'Educational Philosophy and History,' has the task of covering the history of education in the Korean Peninsula and the West, as well as the educational philosophy of the East and the West, in one semester.
Considering the reality that a large amount of content must be contained in a single book and understood within a short period of time, we have strived to describe the core content in an easy and concise manner.

We also provide various types of reference materials to encourage deeper thinking and enhance understanding of the topic.
In 'Reading Materials', we included the original sources mentioned in the text to convey the vividness of history and thought.
Videos related to the text are introduced using 'QR codes' to allow readers to approach each topic in an interesting way.
The "Thinking Questions" provided at the end of each chapter summarize the main points of the chapter and can be useful for discussion with other learners.

Finally, it was written to include a wider range of topics than existing textbooks, allowing learners to choose according to their interests and needs, with a particular focus on early childhood education.
In 'Part 2: History of Korean Education', 'Chapter 8: History of Early Childhood Education in Korea' is covered, detailing how early childhood education was introduced in Korea and established itself as a pillar of public education.
In 'Part 4: Educational Philosophy', 'Chapter 16: Child-Centered Educational Philosophy' introduces the educational theories of important figures in early childhood and child education, such as Froebel, Montessori, Steiner, and Neel.
In addition, we planned to add 'Eastern Educational Philosophy' to 'Part 4: Educational Philosophy' to enable a balanced understanding of Eastern and Western educational thought.
