Hierarchical regression was used to analyze the survey of 116 college students in university of education. The results are following. Firstly, The hierarchical regression analysis of ModelⅢ with influencing three factors to global citizenship explained 25% of the variance in student’s global citizenship, and it was found common good among moral values and experience of living a life in the foreign countries as important factors in the model. Second, They regressed into the variance of moral values even though a few ones of multi-cultural acceptability and national identity were influential factors before modelⅢ. Contrary to theoretical expectations, they are turned into be a half of influential factors to global citizenship. Based on the results, we suggested that to solve the global problems need to be strengthen in the developing the education curriculum for global citizenship.

Effects and Limits of Core Schools for Multicultural Education (The Journal of Curriculum and Evaluation; Vol. 19, No. 1) Year of publication: 2016 Author: Hyosun Kim | Wonpyo Hong Corporate author: Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) This study investigates curriculum programs of core schools for multicultural education and teachers’ responses to their effects and limits. To address these topics, this study analyzes curricular documents collected from 18 elementary and secondary schools selected as exemplary cases in 2014. It also conducted in-depth interviews with 14 teachers who are in charge of planing and implementing multicultural programs in core schools. Major results support that multicultural core schools expand the targets of multicultural education to mainstream students, their parents and local residents beyond minority students and their parents. It turned out, however, that multicultural core schools still tend to untouch structural biases and discriminations, while focusing on extending students’ awareness of cultural and racial diversities. This study also reveals that participating teachers face such difficulties as heavy workloads, lack of collaboration from local schools, and lack of relevant experiences and instructional materials. Based on these results, this study suggests the sharing of successful programs, enhancing teachers awareness of the significance of multicultural education, and further supports for teachers in charge of multicultural education to achieve the targeted goals of multicultural core schools. 
Multicultural Education through ELT Textbooks: Developing a Checklist for English Materials Evaluation Based on Multiculturalism (The Journal of Curriculum and Evaluation; Vol. 20, No. 4) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Minah Kim | Doseon Eur Corporate author: Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) Multicultural education is recommended as an effort to resolve significant social challenges in Korea. This is reflected in the 2015 reform of national curriculum and instruction as it promotes cultural diversity and competence. As English textbooks are widely used in EFL classrooms in Korea by both students and teachers, it is useful to examine how much English textbooks are multiculturalism-friendly and -responsive. This study has 3 parts: 1) It makes a critical review of previous research on English textbooks evaluation checklists, 2) it then synthesizes them and proposes a new tentative multiculturalism-based criteria for English textbooks evaluation, and finally, 3) it applies the new subset of the criteria to an English textbook used in EFL classrooms in Korea to test its validity and practicality. Developing a multiculturalism-responsive criteria for English textbooks evaluation will provide multiculturalism-friendly classroom environments in which EFL learners can grow not only linguistically but also 'multiculturally'. 
Analysis of the 2015 Revised Korean Languages Curriculum in Terms of the OECD Education 2030 Competencies (Journal of Curriculum and Evaluation; Vol. 23. No. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Jongyun Kim | Hyounjin Ok | Jaeyoon Cho Corporate author: Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the Korean language curriculum through curriculum content mapping (CCM) in the OECD Education 2030 project, which is later compared with the international curricular of the national languages. The CCM framework consists of a “competency code” that presents OECD competencies and a “content code” that contains the content of the curriculum. In this study, the degree of the competencies in the Korean language curriculum is analyzed and compared with the international curricular in terms of the OECD perspective. The result is analyzed as follows. First, foundational literacies of Korean were similar to the international national language curricular. Second, in the competencies of skills, attitudes and values, “problem-solving” and “learning about learning” were higher in the Korean language curriculum than the OECD average, “critic thinking” was similar to, and “persistence” was lower than the OECD average. Third, in terms of key concepts, both “student agency” and “co-agency” were higher in the Korean language curriculum. Fourth, “creating values” and “solving dilemmas” in terms of the degree of reflection of CCM framework competency related to transformational competencies, the Korean Language was higher than the average of OECD member countries in terms of “creating new values” and “resolving tensions and dilemmas” were higher but “taking responsibilities” were lower than the OECD countries. Fifth, the competencies in the compound literacies were also compared. These comparison results provide as reference materials that describes the suitability of the Korean language curriculum and contributes to future revisions of the Korean language curriculum for the students in 2030s.
