다문화교육 정책의 다문화주의 유형 분석(2006-2022) = Analysis of Types of Multiculturalism in Multicultural Education Policy(2006-2022)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to analyse the Ministry of Education's multicultural education policy, anchored in the typologies of multiculturalism proposed by Jenks, Lee & Kanpol. From 2006 to 2022, the research examined the types and objectives of the initiatives announced by the Ministry of Education to support multicultural education. The research was based on the types of multiculturalism (conservative multiculturalism, liberal multiculturalism, critical multiculturalism) presented by Jenks, Lee & Kanpol (2001).
The findings revealed First, South Korea's multicultural education policies were predominantly characterised by Conservative Multiculturalism. However, there has been a notable decline in such Conservative initiatives across governments, with a corresponding increase in Liberal and Critical Multiculturalism efforts. Second, across all governments, initiatives aimed at students were predominantly of a Conservative Multiculturalism persuasion. Thirdly, projects that focused on multicultural students emphasised access to public education, school adaptation, Korean language education and academic support. In contrast, initiatives targeting the wider student population tended to focus on promoting an understanding of multiculturalism.
Several implications emerge from this research: First, there is an urgent need for South Korea's future multicultural education policies to emphasize the role of Critical Multiculturalism. Secondly, there is a need for increased focus on both liberal and critical multiculturalism in multicultural education policies aimed at students.
Finally, in addition to facilitating multicultural students' access to public education and supporting their school adjustment, there is an urgent need to expand emotional support initiatives
