An Analysis of Policy Change in Multicultural Education using Kingdon's Multiple Stream Framework Model: Based on the Policy Change from 2013 to 2022

The study applied Kingdon's multiple stream framework model to analyze the process of change in multicultural education support policies promoted from the Park Geun Hyen government to the Moon Jae Inn government, clarifying policy issues, policy alternatives, the flow of politics, the opportunity to open the window of politics, and the identity of policy leaders in the process of change. To achieve this research purpose, 2013-2022 was set as a timely range, and various data such as statistical data, press releases from the Ministry of Education, presidential election pledges, and government press releases were collected and analyzed. The main analysis results are as follows, the flow of policy problems consisted of statistical indicators such as the ratio of multicultural students and the enrollment rate, holding multicultural education forums, prejudice against multicultural children, and collective feedback through forums. Also, the flow of policy alternatives mainly consisted of presidential election pledges and proposals from lawmakers. In the flow of politics, the national atmosphere of the need for support for multicultural students and the changes of the administration were included. The window of multicultural education support policy opened twice, while the Park Geun Hyen government and the Moon Jae Inn government were playing the role of policy leaders who led the policy change.
