This study aims to clarify the current characteristics of Korean religious education research based on the analysis of major two Korean academic societies, i.e., Korea Society for Christian Education & Information Technology (KSCEIT), and the Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education (KASRE). Now, KSCEIT publishes two different journals, which are called by Christian Education & Information Technology (CEIT) and Journal of Christian Education & Information Technology (JCEIT). The former is Korean language-based journal, and the latter is based on English language for globalization of Korean religious education. On the other hand, KASRE also publishes one journal named by Korean Journal of Religious Education (KJRE). Accordingly, the researcher tried to analyses these three journals in terms of nine decisive factors, that is, collaborative focus, balance between theory and practice, religious tolerance, gender equality, globalization, educational context, post-modern issues, research field in terms of educational elements, and research methods. In conclusion, the major characteristics of Korean religious education research are appeared like followings: 1) heavily dependence on individual research rather than collaborative study, 2) discrepancy between theory and practice, 3) highly concern for religious tolerance, 4) balanced writers between two genders, 5) a little lower level of globalization, 6) focusing on church context in Christian religious education, but public school-oriented in Buddhist and other Korean traditional religious educations, 7) small concerns for post-modern issues except inter-faith/religious dialogue, 8) high concentration on philosophical and theological research field in comparison with curriculum and evaluation, 9) dependence on literature study rather than social science method like qualitative and quantitative method.
