국문 초록 (Abstract)

오늘날 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 국가간 인구이동과 다양한 측면의 문화적 접촉은 많은 유익과 더불어 더 많은 해결해야 할 과제들을 가져오고 있다. 이처럼 급속히 변화하는 환경은 교육장면에도 문화간이해와 관련된 새로운 과제들을 제기하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 다양한 문화적 배경을 가진 귀국학생들이 한국 학교에서 겪는 어려움과 그것을 다루어가는 과정을 살펴보고, 그에 기초하여 교사 및 학생을 위한 문화간이해교육 프로그램의 필요성을 제기하고자 한다. 문화간 접촉과 상호작용 속에서 이루어지는 역동적인 일련의 과정들을 이해하는 일은 시대적으로 요청되고 있는 문화간이해교육의 방향을 설정하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다. 이 연구에서는 이해지향적 패러다임에 속하는 문화기술적 사례 연구를 택하였으며, 구체적으로는 참여관찰과 심층면담 기법을 채택하였다.
