The purpose of this study is to analyse research trends in contrastive researches between Korean and Japanese, and then to explore future tasks of contrastive research in Korean education research. This study analyses 2,635 journal articles, academic dissertations, and books since 1970. The previous researches are classified by three variables; chronology, published type, and field of research. The trends of contrastive researches between Korean and Japanese are discussed according to seven categories; comprehensive study, phonological study, vocabulary study, grammatical study, pragmatic study, study on orthography and Chinese character, and the rest. Based on the results of the analysis, I will suggest future directions for contrastive analysis between Korean and Japanese in Korean education research. (Keimyung University)
