This study aimed to figure out a correlation between perception of multicultural family life culture and multicultural efficacy of middle school students. The participants of this study were 303 middle school students in Daejeon. The results of this study were as follows. First, there was little difference in perception of multicultural family life culture between the genders. In contrast, there was a significant difference in awareness of 'respect for relationship with others', a subcomponent of attitude toward multiculture, depending on grade and family income. Second, the one whose father is well-educated was more likely to show a positive and open minded attitude towards multiculture. Education level of the mother had no influence on perception of multicultural family life culture. Third, there proved to be a positive correlation between the perception of multicultural family life culture and multicultural efficacy of middle school students. In conclusion, ways to improve the perception of multicultural family life culture are needed in order to enhance adolescents' multicultural efficacy.

In Korea, the traces of Mongolian history and culture are often found in Korean life and customs. Under these perceptions, this study has attempted to develop the learning contents using the Mongolian historical and cultural heritages in Korea. For this, the perspective on Mongolia in Korean History and Social Studies textbooks and the exhibition of Mongolian cultural materials in a museum have been analyzed. In addition, this study has researched a plan to develop learning contents for exhibition and education using the Mongolian historical & cultural heritage and folklore materials in Korea and people's perspective on Mongolia in the ancient western maps as a way of understanding the historical and cultural heritage between Korea and Mongolia. In addition, a way of taking advantage of the Mongolian historical and cultural heritage in Korea from the view of world history has been proposed to share historical views and promote cultural exchanges between the two countries. Furthermore, the development of learning contents of the museum using the historical and cultural heritage between Korea and Mongolia could be grounds for humanistic studies from the view of understanding multiculture and characteristics of international culture.
