Abstract
This article examines how Korean early childhood education reform efforts to foster children's selves create a fragmented and conflicting educational landscape. I focus on the complex and uneven ways that imported educational ideals are practiced in local contexts. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in a preschool in Seoul, I discuss discrepancies between reform ideals and actual everyday practices to highlight unevenness and nonlinearity of the global circulation of educational ideas.
