The Pedagogy of Happiness and Death: From the Perspectives of Buddhism and Christianity
Lee, Jeong-Kyu
Online Submission
The purpose of this paper is to review the pedagogy of happiness and death from the perspectives of Buddhism and Christianity. To discuss this study logically, three research questions are addressed. First, what are the concepts of happiness and death? Second, what is the relevance between happiness and death? Last, what are the meanings of happiness and death in the aspect of pedagogy? To defend the research questions, the author utilizes a content analysis method with a cross cultural approach. As for the limitations of the study, happiness and death are focused on the lenses of Buddhism and Christianity, particularly the Suttanipata in the Buddhist Sutras, and the Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament. The significance of this study is to provide the valuable resources and basic theories of happiness education for global education theorists and practitioners, finding meanings of happiness and death in the aspect of pedagogy. Based on the research results of this study, the author suggests that future higher education should strengthen death and happiness education. For future study, it is recommended that this study should be empirically undertaken to explore death and happiness issues in different cultures with quantitative or qualitative research methodology. Finally, the researcher wishes that this paper would provide basic theories and valuable resources regarding happiness and death education for global education practitioners and theorists.
