This study examined the introduction and development of the Peabody Project, a U.S. educational technical assistance program implemented in Korea from 1956 to 1962, with particular attention to its central aim of elementary teacher education. As one of the largest and longest-term U.S. educational aid programs to Korea during the 1950s, the project sought to improve the elementary teacher-training system and, ultimately, to establish American-style representative democracy in Korean society.
The Peabody Mission pursued two primary goals: enhancing elementary teachers’ professionalism and cultivating their democratic dispositions. To strengthen professional competence, it advocated upgrading normal schools from the secondary-school level to the junior-college level and introducing an integrated, subject-centered curriculum. Rather than promoting democracy solely as an ideology, the mission sought to foster democratic attitudes and values through diverse teaching methods and child-and life-centered curricula. Although this approach reflected the influence of American progressive education, it also had a conservative dimension insofar as it regarded U.S. values and political institutions as an ideal model for a developing country such as Korea. This conservatism stemmed from both the character of Cold War technical assistance and the increasingly conservative trajectory of progressive education in the United States.
The mission’s proposals for strengthening teacher professionalism aligned with the Korean government’s policy orientation toward improving teacher quality and consequently laid the groundwork for the establishment of teachers colleges in 1962. However, its progressive ideal of promoting broader democratic change through education conflicted with the military government’s authoritarian control of education following the May 16 military coup, as well as with the government’s growing emphasis on economic development from the late 1950s onward. As U.S. aid authorities also prioritized political stability and supported the military regime, the Peabody Project came to an end without follow-up assistance or adequate measures to sustain its achievements.
