Research Abstract

The aim of this research is to show difficulties that children have and to find out the way to go in good education practices by understanding education reform through the perspective of public sphere. Main findings are following.
Firstly, neo-liberal and neoconservative education reform have destroyed public sphere and as a result, they have broken down a possibility of empowerment that education practitioners had developed for a long time. This showed the limit of recent education in which children are treated separately.
Secondly, as a result of the research that we analyzed the children's life, it is conformed that the experiences children have gone through are made shallow. Instead, investments for education have been conducted.
Thirdly, the feature is linked to hierarchy. On the one hand, media like TV in consumer society is emphasized, but on the other hand, organization like cram school is spread. Both of them are something to make vulnerable children's relationship with society and others.
However, education practice that nurtures public sphere has been held. This kind of sphere is the place to face economic difficulty, to include children's weakness, to learn each other and to work together. To support these attempts is social responsibility of public administration. It is needed that the way of looking at children is changed fundamentally including role of the nation.
