Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the validity and reliability of the research and development process of multicultural programs for high school students and to provide basic data for the development of multicultural programs for high school students, which have been blind spots for multicultural education.
 Methods To this end, the characteristics of multicultural programs in the study were analyzed, focusing on the existing program development program analysis framework for program development and the educational operation of the Ministry of Education's 2022 multicultural education support plan.
 Results As a result, there were seven programs for non-multicultural high school students and three programs for multicultural students, and four general high schools, three specialized high schools, and three papers that showed only regions without presenting school types. The program composition varied from 4 sessions to 10 sessions a year, including short-term, long-term, one-off, and continuous operation every year. The goal of the program was to improve multicultural capabilities for non-multicultural high school students, and to support adaptation to Korea and recognize their strengths. The multicultural program examined in this study applied Bennett's theory as a theoretical basis, which was similar to the direction of the Ministry of Education's multicultural education support plan. However, out of a total of 10 programs, four programs with theoretical grounds were confirmed.
 Conclusions The theoretical basis for program development is to be considered to increase the awareness, visibility, execution, sustainability, and effectiveness of the program. Multicultural programs to be developed in the future should be actively developed. It also suggested that in order for social and contextual factors to be more acceptable and inclusive in multiculturalism, it is necessary to improve multicultural capabilities of all community members, and to this end, the development and research of multicultural programs for each target must be continuously and actively carried out.
