This study is to research the formation process and establishment of creative education in modern education history in Korea. The formation, development and establishment of creative education in Korea started by Lee Jong-rok (1921~) who advocated the theory of creative education. Lee Jong-rok, born in the Japanese colonial period, took upon himself the mission of the education for Korean people under the national resistance consciousness in the colony and built up the will to creative education. His will to creative education was practised under the goal of creative education as the teacher, pedagogist, education administrator, and education manager in the liberated homeland. Accordingly, Lee founded the theory of creative education based on his research of creative education and the experiences of the education practice. Furthermore, Lee arranged the basis of the study and practice of creative education through the establishment of creative education academy and the organization of creative education research society. Lee Jong-rok hereby has established his own independent domains in the theory and practice of creative education as an educationalist and founder of creative education in the context of Korean modern education history. The creative education, advocated and established by Lee Jong-rok provides the foundation to present the ability factor of value in human life as the goal of education, considering human creativity from the viewpoint of the whole person. Creative education, therefore, has its meaning in the education history since it not only has embraced the directing point of all the education but also has formed the theory and practice by the education to make pursuing values possible with the method of creative education.
