Abstract

This study conducted research on the actual condition of multicultural education in universities and multicultural competence among university students. The overall results are discussed by two sections as follows: The average score of multicultural competence is 3.49, above moderate. The students who rate their multicultural competence high are those who have been abroad, lived in aborad, had foreign friends, or had communicative ability in foreign languages. There were significant differences in multicultural competence among students based on gender and major. Based on the overall results of the study, the several suggestions were made by the researcher as follows: Universities should support students' overseas volunteer program and encourage students to participate in domestic volunteer program for multicultural background groups.

본 연구는 휴먼서비스분야 실천현장에서 요구되는 다문화 역량의 중요성을 강조하면서 다문화에 대한 대학의 교육 실태와 학생들의 다문화 역량에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 분석한 결과, 문화적 역량 수준은 평균 3.49점으로 중간 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. 외국경험에 있어서는 외국을 방문한 경험을 가지고 있거나 외국에서 거주한 적이 있거나, 외국인 친구가 있거나, 외국어로 의사소통이 가능하다고 응답한 학생들의 문화적 역량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또 조사대상자의 성별과 전공에 따른 문화적 역량을 비교한 결과, 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 조사결과를 바탕으로 대학생의 해외 자원봉사활동을 적극 지원하고, 다른 문화적 배경을 가진 집단을 위한 국내 자원봉사활동에도 학생들의 참여를 독려할 필요가 있다.
