kyungho: Korea: Seoul National University: Mar 01, 2019

I majored in 'the international relations' and graduated from Naval Academy of Republic of Korea in 1984, and deepened my study for social issues in department of ethics education in college of education of Seoul National University and graduated in 1988 with a teacher's license of social ethics education. In 1992, I graduated from graduate school of education in Seoul National University with a master's degree of education and continued my academic career in the department of education in McGill University in Canada as a doctor's course for studying culture and values in education. Finally, I obtained a doctor's degree of education in Seoul National University in 2014 with the thesis "A study for Military ethics based on social PERSONA(occupation, just war, leadership, and human rights)". My research and studies have continuously focused on leadership education and social ethics including international ethics like just war and peace. My main interest of study are culture, peace and war, environment, international relations issues. and occupational leadership(especially military) and education, which are main issues in social studies and global studies. As I have been a professor of the department of humanities and social science in Naval Academy, I have thought social problems and ethics for more than 20 years. In 2014, I discharged from military service as a naval commander and have been giving lecture on social ethics and military issues at ROK Naval Academy as an inviting professor, and teaching social problems and ethics nearby middle schools and high schools.

I have co-worked to write several books like "Character", "Military culture and ethical problems". And I translated 'The Ethics of War & Peace, by Paul Christopher' into Korean (Navy Headquarters, 2003), which evidently shows my interest upon global studies. Recently, as I teach morals and social ethics in middle and high schools, I have felt happiness and rewarding feeling which is somewhat different from what I felt in Naval Academy. I remember that when I graduated from college of education, I was thankful that I could have this privilege to teach students as a teacher. And now, at second stage of my career, I hope to continue to have this privilege to educate students and demonstrate my abilities. On the other hand, I have serviced as a Sunday-school teacher for middle schoolers in a church both in Korea and Canada. Therefore, education for middle schoolers is not a new thing to me and I can do well as H/S and M/S teacher for social studies including global issues, using my teaching experience in Naval Academy. I think I am equipped with the various experiences, abilities as a teacher at the wonderful international school.
