ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the practice process based on the experiences of university students who have participated in the mentoring of multicultural students. To do it, from May to September of the year 2015, in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 university students who participated in multicultural mentoring, then their cases were analyzed. The result of the research is as follows. The practice process of multicultural mentoring was expanded to ‘thrilling stage’, ‘getting to know stage’, ‘sharing stage’, ‘conflict stage’, accomplishing stage’ and ‘widening stage’. First, the thrilling stage comes after applying to the mentoring program, passing the interview and being selected as a university student, the time of anticipating mentoring and waiting to meet the multicultural student. Second, the getting to know stage is the rapport stage which includes meeting the multicultural student with whom the multicultural mentoring will be done, comprehending the multicultural student’s personality, learning situation as well as environment, and developing a relationship with the multicultural student. Third, the sharing stage is when practical activities such as learning activities, experience activities, emotional activities, counselling activities take place with the multicultural student. Fourth, the conflict stage takes place as the mentoring progresses and university students face conflict situations when the multicultural student does not show up or when mentoring activities do not go according to the university student’s plan. Fifth, the accomplishing stage is when university students see various changes in multicultural students through mentoring, and university students themselves have a feeling of accomplishing something. Sixth, the widening stage, is when university students see how through mentoring activities, their values about voluntary service and practice change, and they have interest in voluntary service or through other social activities their civic consciousness is developed and their practice is expanded. Thus, the social practice process was shown in a spiral form with six stages closely related to each other, and was continuously expanding. In this way, through multicultural mentoring, university students, who participated in multicultural mentoring, got the chance to raise the value of their life, and established a healthy civic consciousness and the sense of community. Thus, it is expected that through mentoring the foundation for multicultural students to live as healthy citizens will be provided.
