Abstract
This study aims to analyze anti-bias education activities for young children in Korea by reviewing related research. Focusing on the themes of biases and teaching medium/methods applied in the research, it tends to enhance general understanding about anti-bias education activities for young children. For this purpose, a total of 125 research papers published from 1995- 2017 dealing with anti-bias activities/programs for young children were analyzed. The results of this study were as follows: In terms of the period of research, almost half of the studies (53 studies) were conducted from 2000- 2004. Regarding the themes of biases covered in the education activities, single bias related activities included 64.8% of the total studies reviewed, and the main themes of bias included disability and gender. In studies that included multiple bias themes, more than half investigated from three to five different bias themes, including appearance, family, disability, gender, race, and culture. The most common teaching medium/method applied in activities was children's story, accounting for 60.8% of all activities. The following was utilizing inclusive environment, which was 14.4% of the activities. Based on these findings, this study would help systematize the contents of anti-bias education and develop diverse teaching-learning approaches.
