Inquiry on the Vocabulary Notation for Sahmyook Education Based on Ellen G. White’s Vision of ‘True Education’

이 연구의 목적은 엘렌 G. 화잇의 ‘참교육 이상’에 근거하여 ‘삼육교육’의 기존의 표기를 비판적으로 검토하고 대안을 찾으려는 것이다. 현재 삼육교육의 표기는 ‘지덕체(知德體),’ ‘지덕체(智德體),’ ‘덕지체(德智體),’ ‘영지체(靈知體),’ ‘지영체(智靈體)’ 등으로 표현되고 있다. 이런 현상은 지덕체(知德體)에 기반한 일반 삼육교육론의 영향과 화잇의 ‘참교육 이상’에 대한 이해의 진전에 따른 것이다. 이 연구는 ‘영지체(靈智體)’를 기독교 가치관에 근거한 화잇의 ‘참교육 이상’을 가장 적확하게 나타내는 대안으로 제시한다. 그것이 지덕체(知德體)에 근거한 일반 삼육론과 차별화된 재림교회 삼육론의 특징을 바로 나타내기 때문이다. 아울러 ‘영지체’ 표기도 인간의 구성 요소를 ‘영혼몸’으로 보는 삼분론과 연결된 개념이 아니라 분리 불가능한 전인적 개념임을 재확인하였다.

This article aims 1) to critically examine the existing notation of ‘Sahmyook Education’ (Korean version of Adventist education, literally meaning ‘nurturing of the three’) and 2) to suggest a notation of different character and sequence, based on Ellen G. White’s vision of ‘true education’. The notation of holistic dimensions of Sahmyook education is currently expressed in various ways such as: ‘zhī dé tǐ(知德體 transliterated to the preceding Pinyin and translatable to knowledge-virtue-physical health),’ ‘zhì dé tǐ(智德體, wisdom-virtue-physical health),’ ‘dé zhì tǐ(德智體, virtue- wisdom-physical health),’ ‘líng zhī tǐ(靈知體, spirituality-knowledgephysical health),’ ‘zhì líng tǐ(智靈體, wisdom-spirituality-physical health).’ This complicated phenomenon is due to the influence of the general Sahmyook education theory based on ‘knowledge-virtue-physical health,’ and the progress of Adventists in their understanding White’s vision of ‘true education.’ This article presents ‘líng zhì tǐ(靈智體 ‘spiritualitywisdom- physical health’ as an alternative notation which represents White’s vision of ‘true education’ most appropriately. This alternative more meaningfully represents the characteristics of the Adventist’s educational theory differentiating it from the general educational theory of ‘knowledge-virtue-physical health.’ In addition, this study also makes an important point that the notation integrating ‘spirituality-wisdomphysical health’ does not espouse the tripartite concept of three part human being with ‘mind, body and spirit’ as separate entities. White clearly uses mind-body-spirit as inseparable human dimensions in education or growth by using adjectives ‘spiritual, mental and physical’ together to describe holistic human experience.
