Korea faces a unique and complicated situation
in becoming multicultural. Modern Korean education has
changed several times in response to the contextual shifts
which have occurred in the country’s demographic composition.
Given the complex social circumstances which
exist in Korean society, this paper explores how the social
ideologies of patriotism and multiculturalism are presented
in Korean elementary moral education textbooks which are
currently used. In order to do so, we particularly examine
which groups are considered as “others” in Korean multicultural
society. With this approach, we aim to obtain a
comprehensive understanding of how moral education
textbooks reflect current conditions present in Korea
