Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined multicultural social studies education in the United States, Germany, Canada, and South Korea. As a museum application, memory and records are displayed as they are so that learners can interpret them speculatively. It shows that the younger generation inherits the story of memory, not only as a place of memorial and learning, but also as a place of succession.Citizenship Education is being deployed in Canada. It is based on the theory of Taylor, C. , which approves "the pluralism of the pole of identification" and "acknowledges and accepts the pluralism of how to belong to the state." A future research topic is to examine the antagonism and balance of both Multicultural Education and Intercultural Education.In South Korea, Global Citizenship Education, which is being advocated by UNESCO and the EU, is being promoted.
