통합적 다문화교육이 유아의 창의성과 편견에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was conducted to determine the effect of integrated multicultural education on creativity and prejudice of children, The test results are as follows.
First, the integrated multicultural education provided children with an opportunity to know about various cultures, accept the variety, equality, and identities of multiculture and respect, accommodate, and understand minority cultures, however, relatively short opportunities and times for children themselves to resolve diverse problem situations to represent their opinions prevented the aforesaid education from having a positive effect on the creativity of children. Second, the integrated multicultural education significantly reduced the stereotype of children. This result is analyzed to be produced because the said education included programs enabling children to understand, respect, accommodate multi culture and recognize the variety and equality of minority cultures and have their cultural identities to result in a positive effect on reducing stereotype on the disabilities, capabilities, different cultures, and family members.
In summary, the multicultural education will be more effective to reduce the stereotypes of children when it is not applied only once centering around specific topics, but is applied occasionally as daily tasks naturally, and is not provided only as a separate activity but is performed in all of integrated areas. Thus multicultural education not only enables children to understand, respect, accommodate the multiculture, recognize the variety and equality of multiculture and have their own identities, but also has a positive impact on stereotype decrease when in an integrated form of large group activities and free-choice activities. However such an integrated multicultural education further needs to include programs enabling them to think in a various way and represent their thinkings creatively, in order to have a positive effect on their creativity.
