This study performed to develop a basic framework of adolescent's perceptions about multicultural families, the children of multicultural families, the impacts of cultural exchange on cultural diversity, and multicultural efficacy. The participants were 368 students from four high schools in the Seoul area. The data were analysyed by ANOVA, Duncan-test, and multiple regression. The results revealed significant differences; perceptions of the multicultural family was the highest among those who believed the perceptions would increase, while the lowest among those believing to decrease. Perceptions of multicultural efficacy showed significant differences in thought about education for understanding other country people, the multi media experiences of multicultural families, knowledge about the multiculture, and thought about an increasing number of multicultural families. There were significant correlations among perceptions about the multicultural family, the children in the multicultural family, the impacts of cultural exchange on cultural diversity, and efficacy of the multicultural environment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the multicultural perceptions (multicultural acceptability, multicultural sensitivity and judging multicultural children) of elementary school students. The subjects comprised 1,252 students (583 third graders and 669 sixth graders), promoted from 20 elementary school in J province. The findings are as follows. First, the independent t-test showed that the lower graders had higher scores in cultural openness and national identity of multicultural acceptability, as well as the cognitive element of multicultural sensitivity than upper graders. In addition, the upper graders had higher scores in unilateral expectations for assimilation of multicultural acceptability, as well as the cognitive element of judging multicultural children. Second, all subscales were found to be interrelated, except for unilateral expectations for assimilation and two subscales (cognitive and righteous) in judging multicultural children. These results imply that in order to help have more positive perceptions of multiculturalism, it is necessary to develop more diverse multicultural education programs for elementary school students which take into consideration their grade levels.

The purpose of this study is to discuss current problems and the directionality of multicultural education by examining the perceptions of teachers regarding the implementation of multicultural education and the actual practice of it within early childhood classroom. The study participants included a total of 7 teachers and 41 young children (3 children from multicultural families). Data were gathered by in-depth interviews with 7 teachers and non-participant observations in two classrooms. The results of our examination of teachers' perceptions of multicultural education were as follows. It is addressed only when there are children from multicultural families present in the classroom. Furthermore, it is only addressed in terms of specific life themes, and it requires external supporting instruction and resources because it is difficult to implement multicultural education by most teachers. The current practice of multicultural education is being addressed through an assimilative approach. It was also clear that teachers respond ambivalently to the issue of cultural particularity in children from multicultural families and use an individualized educational approach situated within the cultural deficit model. etc. Based on these results, the implications and limitations were also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of daycare teachers' demographic variables and multicultural variables upon their perception of multicultural families. Daycare teachers' multicultural variables consist of their multicultural family-related education, their perception of single-races and multi-races persons, their acceptance of familial diversity, their cultural capability and the efficacy of multicultural teaching. In conclusion, the study findings show that the multicultural variables seem to have an influence upon teachers' perception of multicultural families. Since the teachers' perception of the multicultural family is important for the shaping of relations between teachers and children from multicultural families and between teachers and females of transnational marriage, the importance of teachers' perceptions of multicultural related variables must be recognized. Therefore, it seems to be necessary to help children from multicultural families improve their adaptability to daycare facilities and for females of transnational marriage to form mutual, cooperative relations with teachers.

본 연구는 한국과 중국의 예비유아교사를 대상으로 다문화 교육의 인식을 조사하고, 이를 통해 다문화 교육의 방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 유아교육과에 재학 중인 한국과 중국인 대학생을 대상으로 하였고, 설문내용은 t검정과 교차분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 한국과 중국 예비유아교사의 문화에 대한 관심과 다문화 유아 및 가정에 대한 인식은 큰 차이가 없었으나, 부분적으로 차이가 있었고 전반적으로 한국 예비유아 교사들이 다문화 유아 및 가정에 대해 긍정적으로 생각하고 있었다. 둘째, 다문화 교육 필요성에 대한 인식은 두 집단 간 유의미한 차이는 없었으나 전반적으로 한국 예비유아교사들이 더 긍정적이다. 그러나 '다문화 교육 자신감'은 중국 예비유아교사들이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 교원양성과정의 다문화 교육에 대한 필요성은 두 집단 간 차이가 없었다. 본 연구를 통해 다문화 교육을 활성화하기 위해서는 교원양성과정에서 이론중심 교육보다는 실습중심의 교육으로 다문화 효능감을 향상시키는 방향으로 이루어져야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Multicultural Family Support Centers (MFSC) have provided five program areas including family, gender equality, human rights, social integration, and counseling since 2015. It is important to examine the MFSC staff's perceptions of the family programs and program needs for multicultural families to improve the effectiveness of these programs. In this study, we aim to explore the staff's perceptions of the family programs and to assess multicultural family program needs based on the family life cycle. A total of 130 MFSC staff were recruited through 128 MFSCs across Korea. Descriptive statistics were conducted for data analysis. Our findings revealed that MFSC staff have increasingly recognized that their target audiences are not only marriage immigrants and their families but also foreign workers' families and families from North Korea. In addition, the MFSC staff identified the importance of family programs instead of only programs for individual family members and multicultural families' different program needs based on their family life cycle. Contrary to the positive perception of the family programs, they described challenges of the family programs including a shortage of funds, difficulty recruiting family member combinations (e.g., couples, parent-child) for family programs, a lack of a program manual, and a heavy workload. This study provides insights into the family programs including their development and delivery.

The purpose of this study was to examine mathematics teachers' perceptions of multicultural education. To achieve this goal, the study explored how 10 elementary mathematics teachers noticed multicultural content in a mathematics textbook. Building upon noticing framework (Jacobs, Lamb, & Philipp, 2010), we first examined teachers' attention toward multicultural content in a mathematics textbook. Then, we examined teachers' interpretation of the content. We employed a content analysis approach to examine the collected data. The results indicated that most mathematics teachers held a content integration perspective. Their view was that "multicultural education" referred to learning about the diverse cultures of different countries. Moreover, although they noticed some multicultural content in the textbook, they wanted to discuss them in superficially descriptive ways and avoid talking about social justice issues. Additionally, some teachers believed that mathematics is a culture-free subject. They argued that multicultural content should not be presented in mathematics textbooks. We also discussed uncommon themes, which were reported by only a few mathematics teachers.

본 연구는 다문화사회의 미래를 담당해야 하는 대학생들을 대상으로 우리 사회가 다문화사회를 준비하면서 필수적으로 요구되는 우리의 인식을 점검하고 구체적으로 무엇이 어떻게 변화해야 하는지 그 방법을 제안해 보고자 시도되었다. 2018년과 2019년 매 학기 1회씩 4번에 걸쳐 동일 교양 교과를 수강하는 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 불충분한 설문 6부를 제외하고 총 299부의 설문자료를 활용하여 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 이주민에 대해 연령이 낮거나 외국 경험이 없는 경우 부정적인 이미지를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이주민에 대한 인식형성 요인에서는 사회적 거리감과 인지적 유연성에 있어서 연령이 높은 경우 이주민에 대해 더 친밀하게 느끼지만 사회문제에 대한 걱정이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 이주민에 대한 한국인 인정조건에 있어서는 사회복지학 전공자가 혼합된 전공자들에 비해 훨씬 더 많은 항목에서 이주민을 한국인으로 인정하는 조건들에 동의하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 다문화사회를 이끌어가기 위해 준비해야 하는 대학생들에게 적용할 수 있는 몇 가지 실천적 방법들을 제안하였다.

This study investigated perceptions of early childhood teachers about children of Female International Marriage Migrants(FIMM) and their classroom conditions. Data was collected from 117 teachers of kindergartens and day care centers in Jeonnam Province using a 28-item inventory composed of classroom conditions and perceptions of teachers about the children of FIMM. Results showed that over 70% of teachers' students were children of FIMM. Children's traits included poor language skills, confusion of identity, and socio-emotional problems due to passive interaction with peers. Programs specifically for FIMM and their children are rare. Teachers considered difficulties teaching children of FIMM are due to lack of economic support, hardship of managing multicultural curriculum, restrictions in application of that curriculum, and institutional inertia.
