and activist, Yi O-Deok, as a lens to approach historically and culturally embedded notions of humanization in education in Korea. Anchored in the ethos of “Asia as Method,” this study offers a unique perspective that exemplifies the importance of the local sociocultural context in Asia in enriching our understanding of universal concepts.  \nDesign/Approach/Methods: This study adopts a methodological approach centered around the examination of Yi O-Deok’s work and his influence on critical literacy education. Key source materials include Yi’s extensive five-volume diary and the various literary pieces he edited from the 1950s to the 1980s.  \nFindings: Yi O-Deok’s philosophy on humanizing education, deeply influenced by local contexts, provides a distinct, non-Western perspective. It offers a critical counterpoint to Western-centric educational paradigms and enriches the broader understanding of humanization in education. Originality/Value: The uniqueness of this study resides in its focus on children’s writings, affirming faith in the unfiltered expressions of their pure spirits encapsulated in the raw “languages of the  \nCorresponding author:  \nYoonmi Lee, Department of Education, Hongik University, Humanities and Social Sciences Building C (Room \\#630), 94 Wausan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul 04066, Korea.  \nEmail: [yoonmi.lee.edu@gmai](yoonmi.lee.edu@gmai)[l.com](l.com)  \nCreative Commons Non Commercial CC BY-NC: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative  \nCommons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 License ([https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)) which permits non-commercial use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access page ([https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage](https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage)).  \nsoil,” which have persevered through the sociopolitical upheavals of Korea’s modern history.

Inganhwa gyoyuk has been a key motto in the Korean progressive teachers’ movement and has been heavily developed since the late 1980s. This movement is rooted in the country’s modern history, which has experienced complex processes of Westernization, colonization, national division, and rapid industrialization (Lee, 2022) . The activist motto of humanization in education has not been well defined by its users but has remained open-ended, with mixed origins. Yi O-Deok’s work illustrates an endeavor among the multiple strands of this unfinished project.  \nThis study explores the nuanced subject of humanization within the Korean sociocultural context.
