이주배경 청소년의 문화변용 전략에 따른 학업성취도 차이 종단분석

초록

This study analyzed immigrant youth’s academic achievement over six years according to their acculturation strategies. A series of analysis was conducted based on the MAPS data. We found significant differences in academic achievement among different acculturation groups. First, the ‘integration’ group showed the highest academic achievement, followed by the ‘assimilation’, ‘separation’, and ‘marginalization’ groups consecutively. Second, within the ‘integration’ group, the ‘high integration’ sub-group showed even higher achievement. Finally, immigrant youth with a ‘moderate’ or ‘high’ attitude toward keeping the heritage (non-Korean) culture demonstrated higher achievement than those with a ‘low’ attitude. However, academic achievement did not significantly differ between the ‘moderate’ and ‘high’ attitude groups. Overall, these findings suggest that multicultural education interventions should consider immigrant youth’s acculturation strategies more closely to improve their effectiveness.
