ABSTRACT

In this article we tried to articulate philosophical Problems about our multicultural education faced with multicultural phenomenon. "Multiculture" Phenomenon is a one comes from globalisation. Most of the existing multicultural pedagogy was mostly descriptive works on the current multicultural phenomenon. So, through the critical evalutation of existing three models of multicultural phenomenon, it is inevitable to make sure philosophical basis of multicultural pedagogy. In general, the academic approach to multicultural phenomena can be divided into three broad categories. First, assimilationism emphasizes the adaptation of foreigners to mainstream culture. The second is integrationism. It acknowledges the specificity of minority culture, but it pursues integration into the mainstream society fundamentally. Finally, multiculturalism pursues the coexistence of various races and cultures by emphasizing ethnic diversity. This article critically evaluates these three models by looking at the "Interculturalism" that is emerging in German society today. In addition, we pointed out that this interculturalism should be used as a critical measure of multicultural policy in Korea and as a philosophical foundation of multicultural pedagogy in the future. Future multicultural education philosophy should be reciprocal comprehensive cultural discourse.
