다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this research was to diagnose the current status of multicultural education in Korea and to suggest its direction focused on elementary education, based on the current data and experience of Seoul National University of Education, Research Institute for Multicultural Educaiton(SNUE RIME). The three main targets for the multicultural education were classified as elementary teachers, students, and parents to achieve the ultimate goal of social integration in Korea. Currently approaches for multicultural education appeared to be focused on direct education of the students, therefore, more effort should be given to the education for the parents and teachers including perspective teachers. To minimize the social expenses that we may have to pay in the future, followings are suggested. First, the multicultural education should be started from the early stage of education, that is, kindergarten. Second, more efforts for the multicultural education for perspective teachers as well as teachers on service should be made to provide various educational programs in an efficient way. Third, the ministries related with the multicultural education should collaborate each other to provide public-friendly joint educational program that could exert synergistic effect for the education of multicultural family members.
