한국 청년 선교사자녀들의 국내 적응을 위한 교육적 필요 = (An) Educational Need for Adaption in Korea of Youth Missionary Kids

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Korea became the second nation that sent many missionaries abroad as a center of world mission in the 21st century. But there is a serious problem. It is something yet to support missionaries than to grow in number of missionaries.
Particularly, it is little to support their children who have an important effect upon missionaries. In this condition, the first generation Korean missionaries’ children are returning to Korea. God loves them, and they are potential workers for evangelization of the world. Therefore Korean churches must be concerned about youth MKs(Missionary Kids) and help them to adapt in Korea. For that reason in this research examined an educational need for adaption in Korea of youth missionary kids.
This study is composed of two parts. The first part is a theoretical study about understanding of MKs and youth MKs from records. The second part is a case study about youth MKs to live in Korea. The result is as follows;
MKs who have cross-culture experiences and be frequent moved since their childhood have unique characters. They have a large world view and an international sense because of their cross-culture experiences, but they are hard to get a belongingness feeling to the community. So they are called as ‘Third Culture Kids’ or ‘Trans-Culture Kids’(TCK). And they have problems as follows: identity’s confusion, educational problem, loss of native language, disagreement with parents, and hardness of human relationship.
Youth MKs in twenties who are the subject of this study have an intelligence highly developed and like to discuss. They want to belong to the community of the age. And they worry about their job, army, and marriage. They are living in sorrow not to be solved and have problems of the developmental process.
In this case study interviewed with six youth MKs re-entered to Korea and examined background and purpose of re-entry, problems to adapt themselves in Korea and positive changes, and an educational need for their adaption.
Youth MKs re-entered to Korea to solve their identity’s confusion and to design their life as an international Korean, a missionary next generation.Buttheyhaveproblemsasfollows;difficultyofcommunicationin Korean,Confucianculture,economicalhardness,bustlinglife,disappointment for Korea, loneliness, and disagreement in the church.
Therefore Korean churches must be concerned about MKs and pray continuously and support their faith and life. So in the church must set a minister for MKs and support systematically and continually as follows; MK hostel, scholarship, educational program for adaption, and counsel about their way, marriage, and etc. I hope that Korean churches will cherish MKs with God’s love.
