다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine the attitudes, needs, and practices of music teachers about multicultural music education. More precisely, the present study examines the following questions: (1) What are the common attitudes, needs, and practices of music teachers about multicultural music education? (2) What is the level of training for music teachers for multicultural music education?; and (3) What are the common multicultural music practices and available educational resources for music teachers? Based on a survey of 278 music teachers, the present study finds that an overwhelming majority of music teachers have positive attitudes toward multiculturalism and recognize the need for multicultural music education in classrooms. However, most of the music teachers felt unprepared, uncomfortable, or lacked sufficient music education in multiculturalism, and expressed interest in attending teacher training for multicultural music education. Therefore, developments in teaching and learning methods and materials, and teacher training for multicultural music education are suggested.
