Effect of Multicultural Acceptability, on Multicultural Awareness and Global Citizenship: Moderated mediating effect of school-adaptation

본 연구의 목적은 고등학생의 다문화인식과 세계시민의식 관계에서 다문화수용성의 매개효과에 대한 학교적응의 조절된 매개효과를 분석하는 데 있다. 연구문제는 첫째, 다문화인식과 세계시민의식 관계에서 다문화수용성이 매개하는가? 둘째, 고등학생의 학교적응은 다문화인식과 세계시민의식 관계에서 다문화수용성의 매개효과를 조절하는가? 본 연구는 전북 지역의 고등학생을 대상으로 246명을 분석하였다. 자료처리는 SPSS PROCESS macro를 이용하여 연구모형을 검정하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 다문화인식은 다문화수용성에 정적 영향을 미쳤고(β=.3638, p<.001), 다문화수용성은 세계시민의식에 유의한 정적 영향을 미쳐(β=.1511, p<.001)간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 다문화인식은 세계시민의식에 유의한 정적 영향을 미쳤다(β=.4274, p<.001). 이를 통하여 볼 때 다문화인식과 세계시민의식 사이에서 다문화수용성은 매개하는 것을 알 수 있다. 한편 다문화수용성과 학교적응의 상호작용항은 유의한 영향을 미치지 않아(β=-.0656, p>.05) 다문화수용성과 세계시민의식 사이에서 학교적응의 조절효과가 유의미하지 않았다. 둘째, 다문화수용성에 대한 학교적응의 조건부 간접효과을 살펴보면 다문화수용성과 세계시민의식의 관계에서 단순 기울기는 학교적응 값이 M-1SD(-.5638)부터 M(.0000), M+1SD(.5638)의 수준에서 모두 유의하였다. 이는 다문화인식, 다문화수용성, 세계시민의식이 학교에 잘 적응할수록 모든 영역에서 증가율이 높아졌다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 고등학생을 대상으로 학교적응을 높일 수 있는 다양한 분야의 교육과정 접근방식, 프로그램을 개발 등 방안 마련이 필요하다.

IMPLIKASI PENDIDIKAN MULTIKULTURAL

Multiculturalism is a term that is relatively new in today's global discourse. In its development, multiculturalism is nothing more than a term that perfects the previous idea, namely pluralism. Multicultural in the perspective of the Indonesian nation is not something surprising. This is because the character and personality of the Indonesian people are accustomed to the extraordinary diversity of this archipelago. Multiculture is not something new because Islamic doctrine and civilization have presented how Muslims with the guidance of revelation should behave. The diversity of human beings is seen as the cause of suffering and misery. Conflicts and wars that exist are seen as a result of this diversity which creates a siltation of humanity's attitude towards it. So experts consider that multicultural awareness must be instilled and become part of human awareness in various aspects of life. To instill this awareness requires an effective method. Education is ultimately seen as a solution to this. The nation-state of Indonesia is full of diversity, be it ethnic, religious, cultural, ethnic/racial, regional, and so on, so understanding and applying multicultural values is a must. It is very urgent to include multicultural education in the curriculum, at least "entrusted" to other relevant subjects, such as: Civics, History, and Religion. Multicultural education is a response to the development of the diversity of the school population, as well as the demand for equal rights for every citizen.

Pre-service English Teachers’ Reflections on Culturally Responsive Teaching in Teacher Education

As Korea has recently become a multicultural society, English teachers acknowledge the need to address anti-racism in the classroom. However, how to raise students’ racial awareness and ways to incorporate racial issues into English language instruction have not been sufficiently studied in the Korean teacher education context. The aims of this study were to provide pre-service English teachers with a guide to implementing antiracist pedagogy in their language teaching and assessing its impact on their racial literacy development and to examine how pre-service English teachers’ racial literacy can be developed through multiple self-reflective practices and microteaching experiences in their teacher education programs. This paper first introduces an anti-racist curriculum for pre-service English teachers intended to raise their multicultural awareness, and then provides multiple educational resources and teaching strategies to help them become culturally responsive language teachers. The paper concludes with some pedagogical implications regarding the necessity of including culturally responsive teaching in teacher education programs.

Building Awareness about Multicultural Society through Da’wa bi al-Hikmah

Indonesian society exhibits a high level of complexity in terms of diversity, comprising numerous islands with diverse cultures, races, regional languages, ethnic groups, religions, and beliefs. This characteristic has earned Indonesia the distinction of being recognized as one of the world's largest multicultural countries. Given this context, it is unsurprising that conflicts between races, ethnicities, and religions frequently arise. Consequently, as Indonesian residents, it becomes imperative for Muslims to contemplate potential solutions. This study endeavors to address two primary research questions: 1) What is the depiction of a multicultural society as fostered by Prophet Muhammad? 2) What are the manifestations of da'wah bi al-ḥikmah (wisdom-driven propagation of Islam) undertaken by Prophet Muhammad? The research employs a qualitative approach, specifically relying on library research methods. The findings of this study reveal that 1) Prophet Muhammad laid the foundation for a society characterized by multicultural awareness, exemplified through the cultivation of religious tolerance, mutual respect for diversity, including ethnic disparities and social statuses, and the promotion of unity and brotherhood among individuals. 2) The forms of da'wah bi al-ḥikmah employed by Prophet Muhammad in nurturing multicultural awareness within society were rational-psychological in nature. The Prophet skillfully engaged in dialogical and interactive communication with his companions (ummah), imparting understanding, awareness, setting good examples (uswatun hasanah), and even extending forgiveness to those who sought his pardon or absolution.

As the Special Issue of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology celebrates the 50th anniversary of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology (IACCP), this article aims to summarize and track the development of counseling and psychotherapy in cultural contexts over the past half-century. When the edited volume, Counseling Across Cultures (CAC) first appeared nearly half a century ago, it sent an innovative message that culture matters in counseling and psychotherapy. The CAC editors produced six more updated editions in the succeeding years by 2016. The CAC authors examined the cultural context of accurate assessment, meaningful understanding of culture-relevant concepts, and appropriate interventions in each of the seven editions. They have surveyed universal and cultural aspects of counseling and psychotherapy according to such themes as emic and etic approaches to models of mental health, therapeutic relationships and techniques, assessment and interventions, and training needs against the IACCP’s ever-growing academic and professional activities. Research on the cultural adaptation of specific psychotherapies for specific clients should enhance access to culturally sensitive and evidence-based assessments and interventions. The need for training in multicultural awareness is expected to accelerate in the age of rapid globalization. This article affirms the contribution of the foundation-building approaches of CAC and the need for developing the interface between cross-cultural psychology and related clinical and counseling fields.

Multicultural education in Hungarian daycares

The subject of multicultural education remains largely unknown in Hungary despite the many, often volatile changes in everyday life that have arisen due to globalization and migration. This paper contends that children can be shown basic concepts related to multiculturalism, acceptance and tolerance within a daycare environment. The purpose of this study is twofold: while one aspect of this discussion explores to what degree Hungarian society is open to multiculturalism, the other examines what multicultural methods, topics or attitudes can be introduced to children attending daycare, a period that spans the ages of twenty weeks to three or four years old in Hungary. It is the authors’ general experience that Hungarian people are fairly open to the idea of multiculturalism, even though educational laws do not mention the importance of teaching multicultural ideas. To support or disprove this impression, a survey was conducted both in English and Hungarian to assess what the general public thinks about the topic of multicultural awareness in daycares. After analysing responses from the survey’s 105 participants, a practical session led by a daycare professional-in- training was then used to test the effectiveness of a playful, multicultural approach to introducing certain topics to three-year-old children.
