북한이탈주민을 위한 다문화(이주민) 통합 교육 방향

Abstract

This article aims at discovering direction of education of multicultural integration for North Korean defectors, adults and young people. They supported by special law to adapt to Korean society and culture, and reared as a Korean citizen in a short term. But because they treated as same races like Korean, they received a certificate of residence right after adaptation education for 3months and several weeks. Though they don’t know Korean langage and culture very well, they live just like Korean citizen without Korean identity, and they have weak belonging to Korean society and solidarity. In philosophical dimension, our multicultural integration education goes for the union of assimilation approach and multiculturalism approach in multicultural integration. On the base of assimilation approach, we need to try to educate them communal solidarity, and on the base of multiculturalism approach, we need to try to educate them global multicultural citizenship. I suggested for this philosophy ‘Kujeolpan approach’ which means the combination communal solidarity by Asian and Korean culture identity, and global citizenship education. Immigrant multiculture in Korea can be united with major Korean major culture. Simultaneously, Korean majority culture have to infiltrate into immigrant minority multiculture. The original Korean culture mixed with immigrant multiculture in the meaning of social integration for the solidarity in order to live a Korean citizen, and this can make ‘we-identity’. In that point, like multicultural education for others in Korea, multicultural integration education for North Korean defectors, there are two kinds of direction. Firstly, we have to teach Korean traditional culture and spirit, and have them Asian cultural identity. For this kind of education, we have to teach Asian culture and spirit including specially southeast Asian culture. Secondly, we have to cultivate global multicultural citizen as a role maker for the Korean multicultural integration. In that sense, 1) they learn the basic theory of democracy and freedom etc. 2)they study global multi-religious culture in Korean migrant culture. And we have to teach them inter-cultural understanding and Asian cooperate attitude. 3) North Korean defectors have to have morality for Korean unification citizenship. In order to accomplish this education, we firstly understand their difficulties in adapting process to Korean culture that separate from their northern culture. And, we teach them the necessity for Korean unification and enforce them to effort.
