한·영 지리 교과서에 나타난 다문화교육 내용 분석 -인구 관련 단원을 중심으로-

Abstract

This study is to analyze the content of multicultural education which is included in the unit related on population in geography textbooks in Korea and UK. The findings are as follows. Firstly, Both of them well reflect a multicultural situation generated by immigration in the unit related on population of their geography textbooks, but The textbooks in UK also reflect that in the unit on the country. Secondly, the textbooks in UK reflect just multicultural situation inside us by immigration, but the textbooks in Korea contain typical multicultural situation outside us. Thirdly, UK describes positively multicultural situation in terms of population movement, but Korea also deals in that in population problems. What geographical minorities by immigration are recognized as problematic people in terms of population geography is not only disagreed with nature of multicultural education, but also can extend discrimination, conflict and prejudice. So, Multicultural education through geography needs to focus more multicultural situation inside us than multicultural situation outside us through the unit related on population, and its content needs to be consisted of without prejudice and discrimination for pupils positive recognition and a sense of value in the future multicultural society. As result of that, pupils recognize multicultural situation positively and can be become informed citizens to live with geographical minorities.
