Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand school dropout experiences of multiculrual adolescents and to suggest policy of promoting their school adjustment. In-depth interviews are conducted with four multicultural adolescents who have dropped out from school and the interviews were analyzed using the phenomenological analysis method. The current study finds that school dropout experiences of multicultual adolescents could be classified in seven themes and those themes are divided again into 19 sub-themes. The seven main themes are as follows: 'the family in crisis', 'maladjustment in school life', 'discrimination and conflict', 'school-violence victimization', 'school dropout crisis', 'nonoperating the mandatory delay before school dropout program', and 'school dropout'. Based on these results, we would like to provide basic information to prevent multicultural youth's academic suspension.

본 연구는 다문화 청소년의 학업중단 과정의 경험을 살펴보고 이들의 학교적응을 강화시킬 수 있는 실천 및 정책적 대안을 제시하는 것으로 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 학업중단 다문화 청소년 4명을 대상으로 심층면접을 수행하였고, 현상학적방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 '위기의 가족', '학교부적응', '차별과 갈등', '학교폭력 피해', '학업중단 위기', '학업중단 숙려제도 미작동', '학교를 떠남' 등 7개 대주제와 19개 소주제가 도출되었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 다문화 청소년의 학업중단 예방을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.
