Research Abstract

There are diverse understandings of social education among researchers. Broadly speaking, there are two mainstream understandings: a modernist understanding and a community-based understanding. This study explores the creation of a new theoretical framework and practice for social education that builds on the latter understanding, while overcoming the difficulties and challenges of contemporary society. Through empirical and comparative research with overseas counterparts, this study clarified that social education is closely linked to welfare. It also verified that the individual growth and development through learning activities is positioned in the process of achieving wellbeing in local communities. However, empirical comparative research on the connection between social education and preventive medicine is insufficient.
