우리나라는 정부차원에서 교육과학기술부, 문화체육관광부, 여성가족부, 보건복지가족부, 법무부, 지방자치단체 등 관련 부처별로 필요한 분야에 한해 다문화 강사 양성이 이루어지고 있다. 교육과학기술부에서는 2007년 다문화가정 자녀교육 지원계획을 발표하고 2008년부터 각 교육청 주관으로 다문화교육 직무연수를 외부에 위탁하여 중앙 및 각 지방 다문화교육센터를 중심으로 현직교사 대상 '다문화교육을 위한 교사 양성 연수 프로그램'을 지속적으로 운영하고 있다. 문화체육관광부 산하 한국문화예술교육진흥원에서는 2008년에 다문화강사 양성과정을 개설하여 운영하였다. 그리고 여성부는 청소년, 이주노동자, 이주여성을 대상으로 다문화교육을 제공할 목적으로 2008년에 '다문화이해교육 강사양성' 과정을 개설하였다. 그러나 이들은 모두 일회성에 머물러 지속적으로 연계되지는 못했다. 또한 보건복지가족부는 2007년에 '결혼이민자 다문화가족 지원센터'에서 종하며 교육활동을 하기 위한 다문화 강사 80명을 일차적으로 양성하였다. 최근에는 각 지방자치단체별 다문화가족 지원센터에서 결혼이민자를 다문화 강사로 활용하여 청소년들에게 다문화 이해 교육을 제공하도록 하는 '다문화강사 양성과정'을 개별적으로 개설하여 운영하고 있다(설동훈 김찬기, 2009). 한편 법무부는 2008년 5월 다문화 이해증진 및 이민자 사회통합을 위한 정책개발 추진에 우수 대학의 적극적인 참여 기회를 부여하고, 관련 분야에 대한 대학의 새로운 학문 개척 기회를 마련하기 위해 공모 절차를 거쳐 20개의 ABT대학을 최종 선정하였다. 명지대학교는 2010년 3월부터 산업대학원 산업시스템경영학과 국제교류경영학석사 과정에서 국제교류경영 전문가 양성을 운영하고 있다. 경기도 지원 경기도의 새로운 브랜드 가치 실현을 위한 '다문화사회를 위한 의식개선 사업'으로 사회통합 - 다문화사회 공동체 형성을 목표로 총4개의 컨소시엄 기관(시흥시, 수원시, 화성시외국인복지센터, 의정부시외국인근로자지원센터)이 형성되어 2010년 2월22에서 2010년12월20까지 시행되었다. 본 연구는 '다문화사회를 위한 의식개선 사업'을 통해 교육대상자 구분과 사업장 교육 지역별 구분과 일반인 교육 지역별 구분을 파악하고 이를 기초로 우리의 다문화사회에 도움이 될 수 있는 다문화교육의 개선 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study set out to investigate the effect of internet environment and gender on online sexual violence. The final sample size was 436 college students in Gwangju city, South Korea. Hierarchical regression analysis was used for analysis. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, more frequent usage of internet influenced directly increase of online sexual violence, and influenced also indirectly through favorable attitudes to deviance. Third, gender did not influence online sexual violence directly, but influenced indirectly. Male students' more favorable attitude to deviance affected more frequent online sexual violence. These results suggest that internet environment play a role in facilitating online sexual violence through normalizing or justifying online sexual deviance. And gender also affect online sexual violence indirectly through male students' more favorable attitudes to deviance rather than female. And limitations and implications of this study were discussed with respect to further studies.

Although social work values are stressed among social work educators as well as practitioners, empirical studies on values have been very scarce. The objective of this study is to validate a Korean Version of the Professional Opinion Scale(POS). The Korean version was validated with a sample of 325 social worker working in various types of social work agencies. A series of confirmatory factor analysis suggested that 8 items be removed, resulting in 32 items with 4 factors. The Korean version has the same factor structure as the original version of the POS reported by its developer. The Korean version of the POS are found to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring social work values. However, validation with more representative samples is needed to improve the quality of the Korean version of the POS.

The OECD High Level Forum-4 that was held in Busan in 2011 was a very important international conference in which more than 2,000 high level representatives from OECD countries, UN, private businesses, charity foundations, NGOs, etc participated, and which dealt with the aid effectiveness issues of ODA (Official Development Assistance), one of the important funds for social welfare of developing countries. However, despite its significance, none of social work organizations, either international or domestic, were in appearance during the conference. What made such a thing happen? This study started from that question and tried to explore the history of international social work: when and how social work gained an international leadership in caring for social welfare of developing countries and how and why it began to lose it. This study also tried to explore, based on the international experience, the tasks that Korean social work community, both academia and field, which just began to be concerned with international social work for developing countries, should address at this beginning stage.

Interest in spirituality in the workplace is rising as an alternative to overcome the possibility of burnout of social workers. This research has evaluated the results of spirituality education program to social workers in senior welfare centers. CPE(Clinical Pastoral Education) was provided to 25 social workers in 3 different senior welfare centers for 12 to 14 weeks. 4 Focus group interviews with 24 education participants after the end of education were conducted. For the participants of CPE, there were changes in individual levels(habituation of self-reflectivity, the integration of personal spirituality and social worker's spiritualty, expansion of self-awareness and pursuit of altruism), practice behavior(recognition of client's individualism, getting rid of the obsession of proposing a resolution, active listening), and organization levels(intimate fellowship, increase in horizontal relationship in the agencies). Pursuing changes within the organization towards integrating individual and organization spirituality along with social welfare organizations helping the development of social worker's individual spirituality for the simultaneous growth of social workers and the organizations is necessary.

In spite of theoretical logics about the necessities and effects of community networking, we have easily watched the failure of netwoking efforts and break of community networks in everyday life. Starting from these experiences, I tried to understand the process of community networking from the networkers'point of view, by the qualitative research method. Through qualitative in-depth interviews on the 6 experienced social workers in 4 communities, I analyzed their experiences of community network building, presented the results(practical guidelines), especially for the social workers expecting to be a community netwoker themselves. They consist of 10 categories and 5 themes(Being a leader/leaderships, partnership/teamwork building, understanding the impact of context, resource usage, netwoking sustaining).
