Outline of Final Research Achievements

As public human resources development projects for immigrant-receiving communities, in Germany, cross-cultural knowledge acquisition, case studies on mediation and coordination methods, etc. are provided for civil servants and others. In addition, there were community building projects in which self-assessment and achievement targets for multicultural receptivity at the community level were indicated using rubrics and other methods. In South Korea, knowledge acquisition training on understanding multicultural society for civil servants and training of experts in multicultural society are conducted at universities and other institutions, but neither specific content nor common evaluation/achievement indicators are being used. Furthermore, it was found that the training of leaders and facilitators in charge of human resource development is arbitrary and is a challenge in both Germany and South Korea.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果として得られたコミュニティの公共人材の多文化対応力養成研修の手法、評価方法等については、日本国内の外国人受入れコミュニティの構築に応用可能であり、すでにいくつかの市民、自治体等の研修においてその知見の活用を試みている。
また、これらの調査研究および研修試行から得られた知見の整理により、今後、多文化化が進展するコミュニティの人材育成に対して、必要な能力とその育成方法について体系化を進めるための端緒としての意義を示した。
