초록

본 연구는 다문화사회의 미래를 담당해야 하는 대학생들을 대상으로 우리 사회가 다문화사회를 준비하면서 필수적으로 요구되는 우리의 인식을 점검하고 구체적으로 무엇이 어떻게 변화해야 하는지 그 방법을 제안해 보고자 시도되었다. 2018년과 2019년 매 학기 1회씩 4번에 걸쳐 동일 교양 교과를 수강하는 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 불충분한 설문 6부를 제외하고 총 299부의 설문자료를 활용하여 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 이주민에 대해 연령이 낮거나 외국 경험이 없는 경우 부정적인 이미지를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이주민에 대한 인식형성 요인에서는 사회적 거리감과 인지적 유연성에 있어서 연령이 높은 경우 이주민에 대해 더 친밀하게 느끼지만 사회문제에 대한 걱정이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 이주민에 대한 한국인 인정조건에 있어서는 사회복지학 전공자가 혼합된 전공자들에 비해 훨씬 더 많은 항목에서 이주민을 한국인으로 인정하는 조건들에 동의하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 다문화사회를 이끌어가기 위해 준비해야 하는 대학생들에게 적용할 수 있는 몇 가지 실천적 방법들을 제안하였다.

This study was attempted to examine our perceptions, which are required as our society prepares for a multicultural society, targeting college students who are in charge of the future of a multicultural society, and to propose specific ways of changing what and how. A survey was conducted on college students taking the same liberal arts course four times each semester in 2018 and 2019, and a total of 299 survey data were used to analyze the results, excluding 6 insufficient surveys. As a result of the analysis, it was found that migrants had a negative image when they were younger or had no foreign experience. Regarding the factors of cognition of migrants, social distancing and cognitive flexibility were found to be more intimate with migrants when they were older, but were more concerned about social issues. Finally, in terms of the conditions for accreditation of migrants to Koreans, it can be seen that social welfare majors agree with the conditions for recognizing migrants as Koreans in much more categories than those with mixed majors. Based on these results, several practical methods that can be applied to college students who need to prepare to lead a multicultural society were proposed.
