최근 급증하고 있는 다문화사회에서 다문화 가정의 가족 구성원의 안정적인 상태로의 정착과 특히 그 자녀들이 '건강하고 행복한 한국인'으로 동반 성장할 수 있는 방안 마련이 현재 주요 과제 중 하나라고 할 수 있다. 무엇보다도 한국의 저출산율은 사회를 구성하는 문제와 인구 노동력 감소로 이어져 국력까지 약화시킨다. 이를 해소할 방안 중 하나로 외국인들을 부족한 한국사회의 인구로 보충하는 것이다. 다문화 가정을 통한 자녀 출산과 그 자녀들로 하여금 성인인구를 늘리는가 하면 다문화가정의 자녀들이 사회의 구성원으로서 올바른 성장과 건강하고 행복한 한국인이 될 수 있도록 돕는 일이 우리 한국의 심각한 사회적 상황을 안정적으로 잘 지탱할 수 있는 길이다. 무엇보다도 감정의 기복이 심한 청소년기를 겪고 있는 다문화 가정의 청소년들의 학교생활적응과 관련된 연구의 필요성은 매우 중요한 역역이라고 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 학교생활적응에 중요한 작용을 하고 도움을 줄 수 있는 연구들의 필요성에 관한 방안들을 모색하고 향후 연구에 적용함으로써 학교생활에 대한 적응력을 높일 수 있는 기초적인 자료가 제공될 수 있도록 하는데 목적이 있다.
