다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In Korean Society, a variety of statutes have been enacted and the multi-cultural education has been stressed in preparation for the multi-cultural society due to the sustained increase in migrants. Even if the multi-cultural education is considered to be a part of the multi-cultural policy, as the concept of multi-cultural education implies the point of view from the law of education such as non-discrimination, support of social adaptation, education reforms etc., it is necessary to examine it on its own. For this purpose, this paper wanted to examine how the multi-cultural education has been implemented in the relevant legislation, in particular whether the significance and purpose of multi-cultural education have been implemented well. In order to achieve them, this study attempted to investigate the aspects of how this multi-cultural education has been implemented critically on the basis of extracting the content elements of multi-cultural education and obtaining the implications of the representative cases of legislation in the U.S.A. through the analysis of the significance of multi-cultural education. As a result of this analysis, it was possible to organize the content elements of multi-cultural education into the non-discrimination, ensuring the right of education along with the educational support, training support for social adaptation, and educating all students and general members in multi-cultural understanding. However, this country appeared that the multi-cultural education has been limited only to the migrant people and showed a tendency to recognize it only at the level of welfare. In addition, it was analyzed that multi-cultural education on more diverse cultural backgrounds than that of migrants and the multi-cultural understanding education of all students and citizens were insufficient. Accordingly, this study proposed expanding the target and scope of multi-cultural education, bilingual education and the affirmative action for migrants, strengthening the multi-cultural understanding education, and the legislation of the independent multi-cultural education acts as the measures of improvement.
