Abstract

Recently, the number of multicultural families has significantly increased in Korea, and this trend creates a need to understand how successfully students from multicultural families achieve their mathematics learning. To understand and predict the changes in mathematics learning achievement of these students over time, we conducted in this study a latent growth mixture model analysis. The study findings show that the majority (92%) of the students from multicultural families experience a decrease in their mathematics achievement over time as their grade level goes up. It was found, in particular, that female students are likely to have lower initial achievements and rapid decline over time more than male students and that the decline over time was more severe for female students than their male counterparts. The findings of this study convey several implications on the how to support the students from multicultural families. First, the result of this study was different from the outcomes of previous studies that presented the income of the household and the education level of the students' parents as major factors that determine the academic achievement of the students from multicultural families. Furthermore, the study indicates the need for more research to identify variables related to the mathematical achievements of the students from multicultural families and the need to use these research findings to develop public support plans for the students from multicultural families.

본 연구는 다문화 학생들의 수학학업성취도 변화의 양상을 파악하고 예측하기 위하여 성장혼합모형의 잠재성장모형 분석을 하였다. 연구 결과는 다수의 다문화 학생들이 학년이 높아갈수록 성취도가 하향하고 있음과 성취도의 변화가 부모의 소득수준이나 교육수준과 연관이 없는 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 여학생이 남학생보다 초기 성취도가 낮고 시간이 지남에 따라 급격히 감소할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 공교육적 차원에서의 다문화 학생지원을 강화할 필요성을 보여주고 있다.
