This study explores the characteristics of technical education in the era of wartime colonial Korea by analyzing Kyungsung technical public school(京城公立工業學校), the largest technical institution in colonial Korea. The technical education of colonial Korea had not been formed until 1930's. After the Sino-Japanese War, seven technical institutions of the secondary level were cursorily established in colonial Korea. This rapid and hasty beginning of technical education was attributed to the sharply rising demand for technical professionals in the munitions industry. At this time, colonial Korea lagged behind colonial Taiwan by a decade in training technical professionals. Kyungsung technical public school, established in 1899, had been in stagnant for a long time. However, by the need for technical education, Government-General started to reform Kyungsung technical public school and construct new buildings in Yeongdeungpo-Gu linked with the Kyungsung-Incheon industrial district, one of the representative industrial areas gathering the small and medium-sized machine industry in Korea. Despite severely ethnic discrimination, Kyungsung technical public school was encouraged to select Korean students by Government-General. Consequentially, the rate of Korean students in the school increased from 30% to 50%, fostered by the urgent need for technical manpower during the wartime. Although the curriculum of Kyungsung technical public school was based on that of the general schools, the education in Kyungsung technical public school was actually focusing on practical courses related to a job, especially in the field of mining engineering. While the training program was at a high level in the initial stage, the program could scarcely function after 1943. Because Kyungsung technical public school had tried to select high-quality students from the elementary school in Korea, the alumni were extremely proud of having entered the school. After the independence, however, many alumni cannot help but build their careers in the military industry or education field, not in the same field they had learned. Arguably, this means that the continuity of training technical professionals from the Japanese colonial period to the post-independence Korea would be undermined.

서울학연구소는 ‘서울학’을 육성, 확산하기 위해 서울 600년을 계기로 하여 1993년 서울특별시의 지원 아래 서울시립대학교 부설로 설립되었습니다.
서울학의 연구대상은 도시 서울입니다.
서울학은 서울의 장소, 사람, 일, 문화를 만들어내고 변화시키는 과정과 힘을 탐구하여 서울이 지닌 도시적 보편성과 특수성을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 합니다. 서울학여느 종합적 관점을 견지하면서 학제적 연구를 지향합니다.
서울에 대한 여러 기성학문 분야(역사학, 지리학, 사회학, 인류학, 경제학, 건축 및 도시계획학등)의 연구관심과 성과가 상호조명되고 교차되는 데에 서울학에 영역이 있습니다.
서울학의 학문적 관심은 오늘의 서울을 만들어낸 역사적 과정을 이해하는 데에 있지만, 그 실천적 관심은 현재의 서울에 대한 심화된 성찰을 통해 보다 나은 서울의 미래를 그리는데에 있습니다.
