Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of bias and the multicultural attitude of elementary schoolchildren on the multicultural efficacy and to seek for the right direction of multicultural education in elementary school. To attain this purpose, this study asked 416 elementary schoolchildren to questions in Jeonbuk Province. The results are as follows. First, there is a significant difference on bias, multicultural attitude, and efficacy to gender and grade. Second, there is a meaningful correlation among bias, multicultural attitude, and multicultural efficacy. Third, the elementary schoolchildren's bias has a significant influence on the multicultural attitude and efficacy. Fourth, the elementary schoolchildren's multicultural attitude exercises a meaningful effect on the multicultural efficacy. According to this survey, a variety of multicultural programs for the elementary schoolchildren are needed to develop and apply in substance at the level of their eyes. In addition to that, a diversity of studies are needed constantly for making the elementary schoolchildren get some positive understanding on various cultures.

이 연구의 목적은 초등학생의 편견, 다문화적태도가 다문화효능감에 미치는 요인을 분석하여 초등학교 다문화교육의 방향을 모색하는데 있다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 전라북도 초등학교 학생 416명을 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 성별, 학년별 모두 편견, 다문화적태도, 다문화효능감에서 의미있는 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 초등학생들은 편견, 다문화적태도, 다문화효능감에서 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 초등학생의 편견이 다문화적태도 및 다문화효능감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 초등학생의 다문화적태도가 다문화효능감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과로 볼때, 초등학생들의 눈높이에 맞는 다양한 다문화프로그램을 개발·활용하여 지속적인 다문화교육이 체계적으로 이루어져야 하며, 학생들이 다양한 문화를 바라보는 긍정적인 이해와 수용이 뒷받침 될 수 있는 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
