초록

본 연구는 한국과 중국의 예비교사들을 대상으로 문화간 감수성을 측정하여 비교한 연구이다. 문화간 감수성이란 다문화적 능력을 갖춘 교사가 되기 위해 필요한 자질로 본 연구에서는 문화간 감수성의 측정을 위해 Chen과 Starosta에 의해 개발된 검사지가 사용되었다. 한국 대학생 301명과 중국 대학생 275명으로 구성된 총 576명을 대상으로 측정한 문화간 감수성의 평균점수를 비교한 결과 한국의 예비교사들의 평균 점수가 중국의 예비교사들에 비해 근소하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 평균점수의 차이가 유의미한 것인지는 T-검증을 통해 문화간 감수성의 5개 하위 영역에서 분석하였다.
