The purposes of the study are to understand how multicultural awareness and multicultural efficacy is different and to investigate the factors of multicural awareness affecting the multicultural efficacy. To achieve the goals, the study conducted surveys to examine an interrelation of multicural awareness and efficacy on 329 elementary school students in North Jeolla Province with questionnaires. First, the results showed significant differences in the multicultural awareness and efficacy based on all the ground factors. Second, it was found that elementary school students had significant relations in multicultural awareness and efficacy.

The study suggests that sustaining multicultural education shall be implemented for elementary school students to have right and positive minds and various studies shall be conducted to nurture values in their lives to live together.

이 연구의 목적은 초등학생의 다문화인식과 다문화효능감은 배경변인별로 어떠한 차이와 상관관계가 있는지 및 다문화인식이 다문화효능감에 영향을 미치는 요인은 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 전라북도 초등학교 학생 329명을 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 실시하였다. 응답결과에 대하여 첫째, 배경변인별 모두 다문화인식, 다문화효능감에서 의미있는 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 초등학생들은 다문화인식, 다문화효능감에서 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 초등학생의 다문화인식이 다문화효능감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과로 볼 때, 초등학생들에게 다문화에 대한 올바르고 긍정적인 인식을 갖도록 지속적인 다문화교육이 이루어져야 하며, 모두가 더불어 살기 위한 삶의 철학을 기르는 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
