Nowadays, in Korea, the number of returned students who stayed overseas for a long time, is continuously increasing. Since used to being in the foreign culture and educational systems, they can not help experiencing not only culture shock, but also many difficulties in adapting themselves to Korean school life. Accordingly, we have to construct the practical plans in order to help them adjust to Korean school systems with the aids of public education.
This study's purpose is to grasp the realities of adjustment education for returned students and to suggest the ways to improve it. It'll help the returned students adjust to domestic environment easily and be global citizens with international sense which they got while they had lived in foreign country. It'll also be very useful to the educational experts concerned with adjustment education.
The main themes of the study are as the follows.
First, what are the present condition of returned students, their characteristics, and their problems for adaptation to new circumstance?
Second, what are the actual state and objectives of adjustment education in Japan? And what are the educational implications?
Third, what are the actual state and objectives of adjustment education in Korea? And which limits are there in Korea?
Finally, what are the preferable alternatives of adjustment education for returned students?
The results of this study are as the follows.
First, by regional groups, the special classes or schools for returned students will have to be founded.
Second, it is necessary to develope the educational programs for mutual interchange between students who returned from foreign countries and students who studied in Korea. They'll be useful for improving the understanding of international trend and situation.
Third, it is necessary to run a consultation office to help the returned students adjust to Korean society.
Finally, it is important to educate the international directors to help returned students and to establish the schools for Korean students in other countries.
The education should be focused on helping the returned students become the global citizens. Therefore, the adjustment education for returned students is not just their own problems any more. I think this study will help returned students to grow up with the identity of Korean people. Furthermore, it will help them to become the qualified and competent people in global society.
