새로운 밀레니엄을 불과 몇 년 앞둔 지금 우리는 정치.경제.사회.문화.과학기술 등 전 분야에 걸쳐 전개되고 있는 역동적인 변화를 몸소 체험하고 있다. 냉전시대의 종식 이후 세계의 정치 구도는 경제패권을 둘러싼 지역화.블럭화의 경향을 보여주고, 플랜트와 하드웨어 중심의 규모의 경제가 기술중심의 소규모화 된 현장중심의 범인의 경제로 전환되는 와중에 있다. 사회.문화적 측면에도 오늘날 우리는 국제화, 다원화, 지방화의 무드 속에서 조직구조의 변화는 물론 이에 따른 인간의 가치관과 생활양식의 변화를 때로는 능동적으로 혹은 피동적으로 체험하고 있다. 한편, 과학 기술 분야의 변화는 거대 에너지와 물자를 활용하는 ‘힘-중심적’ 방향에서 새 사고와 아이디어를 요구하는 ‘지식-중심적’ 방향으로 옮겨가고 있다는 것이다. 이는 과학과 기술에 있어서도 에너지, 재료, 기계 등 대대적으로 활용하는 거시적 과학과 기술로부터 지식, 정보, 통신을 중심에 두는 정밀과학, 정밀기술 쪽으로의 변화가 진행중이라는 것을 의미한다. 사회의 변화와 관련된 교육적 대응의 원리는 두 가지 형태로 집약될 수 있다. 교육은 본질적으로 순응(accommodation)과 적응(adaptation)이라는 서로 상반되는 두 가지 기능을 수행한다. 순응의 원리는 교육의 탄생이래 교육목적의 본질에 해당되는 것으로 기존 사회질서의 유지와 체제 존속을 위해 교육은 과거로부터 전해져 내려오는 의미 있는 문화내용을 엄선하여 미성숙한 학생들에게 전수하고 그들로 하여금 문화와 전통을 계승하도록 하는 사회화에 그 일차적인 목적이 있다는 것이다. 따라서 순응의 원리를 강조하는 교육은 과거 지향적이며 외부의 변화에 대해 수동적인 자세를 견지한다. 한편, 적응의 원리에 입각한 교육은 문화와 전통에 대한 피동적 전승을 넘어서 사회의 변화에 따라 교육체제와 내용을 바꾸는 등 적극적으로 변화에 대응하고, 이러한 변화를 주도할 인간육성에 힘을 기울이는 교육방식을 취한다. 시대적 변화의 소용돌이 속에서 교육은 이제 기왕의 많은 교육적 신화들을 타파하고 뉴 밀레니엄을 준비해야할 기로에 서 있다. 현재의 변화를 슬기롭게 대처하고 미래의 변화에 능동적으로 적응하는 인간을 육성하기 위한 오늘날 교육의 사명은 우선 미래사회를 위한 교육정책의 방향을 수립하는 일이다. 교육정책은 국가의 교육방침으로서 현실 교육문제의 해결도 중요하지만 미래의 발전을 기약할 수 있는 장기적인 비젼과 목표 속에서 정립될 필요가 있다. 이러한 의도하에 본 연구는 21세기를 대비한 교육정책의 방향을 탐색하고 그에 따른 정책적 과제를 제시하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 목적하에 본고는 \circled1 과거 우리 나라의 교육정책을 반성적으로 회고하고, \circled2 미래사회에 대한 전망과 교육적 시사점을 분석하며, \circled3 마지막으로 21세기의 변화에 적응하기 위한 교육정책의 방향과 과제를 내용으로 제시하고자 한다.

It is a follow-up study on acculturation types and adaptation level to South Korea among North Korean defecting adolescents who participated in the study with the same purpose five years ago(2003). The study of 2003(1st year study) was done with 90 adolescents, out of whom 46 participated in this study(2nd year study). The data from 46 subjects who participated in both 1st and 2nd studies were analyzed. The results on individual acculturation type showed that 40% of the respondents who belonged to 'marginal' or 'separated' types in the 1st study were changed to 'assimilated' or 'integrated' types in the 2nd. Twenty percent changed from 'assimilated' or 'integrated' types in the 1st study to 'marginal' or 'separated' in the 2nd. Furthermore, the higher is the acceptance level of South Korean culture, the lower are their psycho-social problems and the higher is the satisfaction level of daily lives in South Korea. While the higher is the preservation level of North Korean culture, the higher is aggression. Based on the results, the study developed discussion on diverse alternative plans for helping North Korean defecting adolescents in successfully adjusting to the South Korean society.

Using meta-analysis, this study aims to examine individual, familial, and social support variables in relation to acculturative stress by in order to draw implications for social welfare practice and policy. For the purpose of this study, authors selected 37 studies between 2000 and 2013. Results are as follows: First, acculturative stress of marriage-based migrant women showed statistically significant average effect size in individual, familial, and social support variables. Second, each variable showed at least 'medium' and above size. Further, marital satisfaction and social support showed 'large effect size' and life satisfaction, family relations and functions, self-esteem, psychological well-being, and depression showed 'near large effect size.' Third, when moderating effect was examined, Korean language proficiency, economic difficulty, depression, and self-esteem among individual variables showed differences in effect size according to socio-economic variables. Meanwhile, marital satisfaction and couple relationship among familial variables and social support among social variables showed differences in effect size according to socio-economic variables. Based on these results, authors suggested ways to prevent or reduce acculturative stress among marriage-based migrant women in Korea.

This study aims to examine heterogeneous acculturation patterns of elite North Korean female defectors in South Korea. The study employed a synthetic comparative analysis. A series of in-depth interviews with 5 North Korean female defectors in South Korea were conducted. In addition, the research team implemented 20 open-ended surveys with other defectors. Through this study, we have found various types of cultural adaptation in the group of the elite North Korean women in South Korea. The study findings imply that it is imperative to establish national policies that support different types of North Korean defectors. Putting all North Koreans into one category might result in alienation and discrimination to some groups. Thus how the participants reframed their social identify in South Korea illuminates essential facets of human-right education, especially education for refugees and immigrants in different global and multi-cultural contexts.

In this study, WSS developmental checklist and nursery maladaptive test were conducted and applied to 203 multicultural children and non-multicultural children. The children were 3-5years old and were attending 34 kindergartens located in Gimpo-si and Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do to investigate the developmental level and status of adaptation to the nursery in multicultural children. The result shows that there is no difference in the development of scientific thinking and mathematical thinking while developmental level is lower in personality, sociality, language, reading and writing area in multicultural children compared to non-multicultural children. According to age, there is no difference in the development between 4~5-year-old multicultural children and non-multicultural children while there is a difference in the development between 3-year-old multicultural and non-multicultural children. It also shows that there are no significant differences in nursery adaptation between multicultural children and non-multicultural children.

Two investigations were carried out to understand the relationship between self-enhancement bias and psychological adjustment. In study 1, a scale for measuring the self-enhancement bias was constructed and the relationship between self-enhancement bias and psychological adjustment was examined in Korean college students. The relationship between two variables was significant in Korean college students. At study 2, college students and laborers in Korea and Germany participated to examine the relationship between two variables. It was significant both samples. This is very interesting result because it is reverse the existing outcomes that there are no self-enhancement bias and no relationship between self-enhancement and psychological adjustment in collective cultures. It is need to develop more refined measure tool and to do comparison with various cultures for more profound research on self-enhancement bias and cultural difference.
