A Study
on the Legitimacy and Meaning of Early Childhood Habit Formation Education
Based on Reformed Anthropology
The purpose of this study is
to examine the meaning of habit formation education
in early childhood,
the youngest period of life,
and to explore the possibility
of applying habit formation education
based on reformed Christian early childhood education.
To this end, the writer analyzed
how habits have been recognized and discussed
since ancient times,
focusing on Plato, Aristotle, Locke, and Dewey.
The writer examined reformed anthropology
to establish the basis
for habit formation education
in early childhood.
When examining the legitimacy and meaning
of habit formation education
in early childhood
based on reformed anthropology,
first, in the Bible,
habits are connected not only to actions
but also to character and virtue.
Second, the Bible suggests
habit formation should be done
from early childhood,
the beginning of life.
Third, the Bible presents the nature of the human mind
and emphasizes recovery
from an evil mind to a good mind.
At this time,
daily habits can become an educational reality.
In conclusion,
the writer can see
that habit formation education carried out
in early childhood,
which lays the foundation for life,
ultimately follows the process of sanctification
through the repetition of desirable behaviors.
