This study aimed to suggest research directions for future studies by exploring trends of existing academic literature on multicultural acceptance of elementary school children in Korea. For this purpose, this study searched for domestic articles in academic data base using key words related to the subject of this study. Finally 36 articles were selected and using content analysis they were analyzed according to year of publication, fied of study, research themes, and research methods. The results of the study indicated that steady academic efforts have been made related to this topic since the first study in this field appeared in 2010 and the most prolific field of study was pedagogy. Results also showed that the theme of analyzing factors affecting multicultural acceptance of children was studied the most and quantitative methods were dominant. Results of the analysis suggested a need to put more research endeavor to extend the scope of research themes, study fields, and research designs in this field and they contributed to providing basis for future research.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 초등학생의 다문화 수용성에 관한 연구 동향을 고찰함으로써 향후 연구를 위한 방향을 제공하는 데 있다. 연구 목적을 위해 국내 학술데이터베이스에서 연구 주제와 관련된 키워드 검색을 이용하여 현재 시점까지 게재된 논문을 검색하였다. 검색 결과 총 36개의 논문이 선정되었고 내용 분석 방법론을 사용하여 발표 연도, 학문 분야, 연구 주제, 연구 방법론을 중심으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 2010년 관련 연구가 처음 수행된 이후로 해당 주제에 대한 꾸준한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며 학문 분야별로는 교육학 분야에서 가장 많은 연구가 이루어진 것으로 나타났다. 연구 주제와 관련하여서는 다문화 수용성에 영향을 미치는 요인 분석 주제의 비중이 높았으며, 양적 연구 방법이 절대적으로 우세하게 활용된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 연구에서 연구 주제, 학문 분야 및 방법론에 있어 범위를 넓히기 위한 학문적 노력이 필요함을 제시하였으며 향후 연구에 활용될 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하였다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다.
