“…Today, the curriculum on anti-racial discrimination and languages other than English, which requires all students up to the 10th grade to select one of nine languages including Chinese, French, and German as a second language, is being driven as a government initiative [15]. South Korea, which is a mono-ethnic society marked by racial, linguistic, and cultural homogeneity, defines multicultural households as families made up of marriage migrants and naturalized citizens or those who acquired Korean citizenship upon birth [16]. The concept of a multicultural student covers children from an international marriage, children born in South Korea, children who moved to South Korea after being born elsewhere, and children of foreign households.…”

“…Children who moved to South Korea after being born elsewhere are from international marriage households, and children of foreign households are those born from foreign parents living in South Korea. This indicates that there are multicultural households and students in South Korea, where the perception on a single ethnicity is traditionally strongly focused on the heterogeneity of race and ethnicity [16]. Yet, the reality is that multicultural education in South Korea still leans heavily on Korean language and Korean culture [11].…”

The ratio of students with a multicultural background relative to the total number of students in South Korea is consistently going up due to the increasing number of multicultural students and decreasing school age population. Yet, the low level of digitalization in multicultural households requires an effort to address digital divide. This paper, accordingly, held an SW (software) and AI (artificial intelligence) camp on four occasions to 314 multicultural students living in Jeju and observed how the perception of participating students changed on SW and AI. The education camp was organized after analyzing the limitations of existing multicultural education and computer education as well as their issues. To validate effects of the education, a paired sample t-test before and after education and an independent sample t-test were carried out to make an analysis by education period and analyze education effect by background variables. Furthermore, text network analysis on short answers was made for an in-depth analysis of research results. It shows the research participants’ awareness of SW · AI changing for the positive post-camp in most sub-elements. However, self-efficacy of jobs related to SW · AI, which was one of the sub-elements, was lower post-camp than in pre-camp in a few cases. Since the average score of this particular element is noticeably lower than other average scores and research participants were not evenly distributed by grade, further improvement is warranted in follow-up research.

“…For example, the strong Jang et al 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1239337 Frontiers in Psychology 02 frontiersin.org one-ness of Koreans carries critical historical meaning, as it has united the entire country to collectively resist past foreign invasions and wars. Korea's cultural and historical background has also created a Korean mono-ethnicity that limits the country from fully embracing global values; put differently, Korean society features a superficial form of multiculturalism (Lee, 2012;Kim et al, 2019). Therefore, immigrants to Korea and children of transnational marriage families are often treated as foreigners, making them vulnerable to various stereotypes and discriminatory acts (Yoo and Kim, 2015), which can lead to marginalization and mental health problems.…”

This study explored the mediating effect of career maturity moderated by intimacy with parents and immigration backgrounds (native- or foreign-born young adults) on the relationship between perceived marginalization and the mental health of young adults with migration backgrounds (having mixed parentage of one Korean and one non-Korean immigrant parent) in South Korea. We collected data from 300 adults aged 25–34 with migration backgrounds (204 born in Korea and 96 born abroad) through the Gallup Research Institute of Korea and conducted a moderated-moderated mediation analysis using Model 21 of PROCESS Macro in SPSS. The analysis showed that career maturity moderated by intimacy with parents and migration backgrounds mediated the relationship between perceived marginalization and mental health. However, the results were only significant for participants who were born abroad and immigrated to Korea, and not for those who were born in Korea. These findings suggest that while greater perceived marginalization leads to lower career maturity and negatively impacts the mental health of foreign-born young adults, higher levels of intimacy with parents can buffer these negative effects.
