본 연구에서는 중학생의 다문화가정생활문화에 대한 전반적인 인식과 다문화효능감과의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 대전지역 중학생을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중학생의 성별에 따른 다문화가정생활문화 인식의 차이는 없었으나, 학년과 가정의 월수입에 따라 다문화적 태도의 다문화적 태도의 하위변인인 관계존중에서 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 즉, 학년이 높을수록 다문화에 대해 더 긍정적인 태도를 보이며 다문화인과의 관계를 존중하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 아버지의 교육수준이 높을수록 다문화적 태도가 긍정적이고 다문화에 대한 열린자세를 가지고 있는 것으로 보인다. 어머니의 교육수준은 다문화가정생활문화 인식에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 셋째, 대전시 중학생의 다문화가정생활문화에 대한 인식과 다문화효능감 사이에는 정적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 청소년기에 있는 중학생들의 다문화효능감을 높이기 위해서는 다문화가정생활문화 인식을 개선시킬 수 있는 적극적인 방안 모색이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to explore employees' experiences of integrated services in Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Centers in Seoul. In-depth interviews were conducted with seven employees, including managers and heads of Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Centers. The interviews identified three themes: the direction of integrated service, the characteristics of the integration process, and the challenges of integrated service. For the direction of integrated service, the participants identified the integration center as a professional family services organization that provided customized services for different types of families. During the integration process, employees found it difficult to provide integrated services because few guidelines existed on operating an integration center that provided services to families with different characteristics and needs. However, they also explained positive aspects of integration, such as strengthening the business's capacity by expanding the organization. To improve integrated service, employees emphasized the expertise and appropriateness of the family services over the efficiency of the integration centers. They also stressed expansion as a role of a professional family services organization. These findings suggested that establishing a clear direction for integrated service as well as the roles of administrative support agencies is important for activating integrated services.

This study purposed to analyze difference in experience of life in Korea among adolescents whose immigrant backgrounds were different (Korean-born children of multicultural families and foreign-born immigrant children) using the data of the 2012 National Survey of Multicultural Families (adolescent children aged between 9 and 24). According to the results of analysis, first, multicultural adolescents with immigrant backgrounds experienced 'difficulty in using the Korean language (speaking, listening, reading, and writing),' 'school dropout,' and 'school violence' more frequently than Korean-born multicultural adolescents. Second, with regard to social discrimination (friends, teachers, relatives, neighbors, and unknown people), multicultural adolescents with immigrant backgrounds experienced 'discrimination by teachers,' 'discrimination by relatives,' 'discrimination by neighbors,' and 'discrimination by unknown people' more frequently than Korean-born multicultural adolescents. By analyzing these differences, this study suggested directions for differentiated support policies and specific strategies for adjustment to life in Korea by multicultural family adolescents with different backgrounds.

This study identifies the aspects of a managers' perceived work experience in a Multicultural Family Support Center and analyzes how work experience backgrounds are formulated. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 managers from March to September 2015 to understand managers' work experience. Descriptions from the interviews were analyzed using phenomenological research methods. The result show that their work experience can be categorized into 73 meanings, 10 subcategories, and five themes. The five themes are 'program development,' 'employees assignment optimization,' 'use and control network resources,' 'deal with changes in needs of multicultural families,' and 'supports vs. controls.' The analysis of the themes and subcategories from each theme allows us to first interpret that managers consider their significant and diversified work tasks overwhelming. Second, they find their jobs fit them and feel personally interested with a sense of duty from their work to overcome stress from heavy workloads. Third, managers put a high value on their work as a hands-on experience that is an officially authorized position from the government. Fourth, they are proud that they contribute to offering welfare services to multicultural families as members of Multicultural Family Support Centers.

Family environment plays a significant role in adolescent development. Multicultural adolescents in Korea are brought up in a distinctive family environment, where they get to experience two different cultures within their families. Thus, it is important to examine how internal characteristics of the family environment in multicultural families and interactions between family members influence adolescents. The aim of the current study was to examine structural relationships among Southeast Asian mothers' and Korean fathers' bilingual socialization, adolescents' attitude toward mothers' native culture, and mother-adolescent relationship satisfaction. Specifically, the following two questions were addressed in this study: 1) Does bilingual socialization of each parent affect adolescents' attitude toward mothers' native culture? 2) Does children's attitude toward mothers' native culture affect mother-adolescent relationship satisfaction? To answer these questions, the survey data from the '2012 Nationwide Survey of Multicultural Families' was analysed, using SEM. The sample consisted of 318 multicultural adolescents (aged 9-17) living with Korean fathers and immigrant mothers from Southeast Asia. The main findings were as follows. First, Korean fathers' bilingual socialization had a positive effect on immigrant mothers' bilingual socialization. The path from Korean fathers' bilingual socialization to adolescents' attitude toward mothers' native culture was significantly mediated by immigrant mothers' bilingual socialization. Second, adolescents' attitude toward mothers' native culture had a positive effect on mother-adolescent relationship satisfaction. Results suggest that Korean fathers' bilingual socialization is an important factor for bilingual socialization of multicultural adolescents. It is also worth noting that each parent's bilingual socialization helps multicultural adolescents to form a positive identity as a member of multicultural families.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of family support and participation in activities on the improvement in interpersonal relationships perceived by rural multicultural and non-multicultural household adolescents and compare the results with the perspective of Sullivan and Bowlby. For this purpose, the data of 403 persons from multicultural households and 348 persons from non-multicultural households were analyzed and several conclusions were drawn. Firstly, the family support variable had the greatest effect on the improvement in interpersonal relationships in both the rural multicultural and non-multicultural household adolescents. Secondly, the number of activities experienced at home significantly affected the improvement in interpersonal relationships in both types of adolescent. The effects of age, number of friends, and number of traditional activities on the improvement in interpersonal relationships differed for each type of household adolescent. And to conclude, the significant factors affecting the interpersonal relationships of the rural adolescents were their family and parents. Therefore, this study supports Bowlby's perspective on adolescents' interpersonal relationships. Based on the results, this study proposed plans to improve the interpersonal relationships of rural adolescents through family support and activity participation. Also, a plan for follow-up studies was suggested.

The aim of this paper is to briefly consider the present state regarding Korean language education for multicultural family members, and to consider the outcomes produced so far. Married woman immigrants and their children must be one of the most significant groups for Korean language education in terms of their huge number and their roles and meanings in Korean society. In order to uplift the Korean communicative ability for multicultural family members, an effective operating system for Korean language education is needed, and also live and efficient Korean language instruction must be given by capable Korean language teachers with adequate teaching materials. A customized Korean language education must also be offered based on researches about the characteristics of multicultural family members as "Korean language learners". Korean language education for married woman immigrants has almost been set up in some extent, in terms of teaching materials and the teacher training system. Therefore, an efficient operating system must be constructed so that the developed teaching materials can be actively utilized in the site of Korean language education. A periodical retraining of Korean language teachers for multicultural family members is also necessary for the improvement of Korean language teaching efficiency. However, Korean language education for multicultural children is still in its infancy due to its late start-up. By the support of the Korean government, the curriculum of Korean language education has recently been fixed, KSL text books are being developed, and a diagnostic tool for evaluating their Korean language ability is now in progress. Many continuing concerns and support must still be provided for the improvement of their Korean language ability and fostering them as competitive and capable of speaking Korean.

본 연구의 목적은 다문화가정과 비다문화가정 아동청소년의 학교생활 적응을 비교하는 것이다. 본 연구는 한국 아동 청소년패널 자료를 활용하여 여러 혼동 변수들을 통제한 상태에서 다문화/비다문화가정 아동 청소년의 학교적응을 비교함으로써 두 집단간 학교생활적응의 차이를 추정하고자 하였다. 다문화가정 아동청소년은 평균적으로 비다문화 가정에 비해 학교생활 적응 수준이 낮은 것으로 추정되었으나, 매칭방법을 통하여 개인과 가족특성, 부모의 양육방식의 특성을 조정한 이후에는 두 집단 간 학교생활 적응에 유의한 차이가 없다는 결론이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과는 외국인 부/모를 가진 다문화가정 자녀라는 특성이 이들의 학교생활에 위험요인으로 작용하지 않는다는 점을 알려주며, 다문화가정 자녀의 취약성에 대해 의문을 제기하는 결과로 해석될 수 있다. 또한 다문화 가정 여부와 무관하게 자녀의 학교생활 적응에는 자아탄력성과 긍정적 양육방식이 주요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 자아탄력성을 강화시키는 개입의 필요성과 아동청소년 뿐 아니라 그들의 가족까지를 포괄하는 개입을 통해 학교생활적응을 제고할 수 있음을 시사한다.
