A Study on the Consciousness for Korean-Chinese Adaptation in Korea

As the Korean society rapidly moves towards a multicultural society, the need for multicultural social integration of Koreans and new members of society (children of multicultural families, immigrated children, and foreign children) is increasing. There is an urgent need for multicultural education than ever for recognizing differences and diverseness among the community members and for avoiding discrimination and exclusion. The formation of learners identity, understanding and respect for social diversity, realization of the society of equality and justice, development of good citizenship, and alternatives to multicultural cross-curricular education for the creation of new culture should also be urgently prepared.
