A Study on the Development of Educational Programs Using the Presidential Archives for the Improvement of the Self-Esteem of Children from Multi-Cultural Families

Abstract

This study proposed an educational program using presidential records to develop the self-esteem of children from multi-cultural families in accordance with the vision of the Presidential Archives—including political, economic, historical, and cultural aspects—to activate programs for the underprivileged. To accomplish this, we performed a literature review of self-esteem–enhancing programs for such children, and compared and analyzed the Presidential Archives’ educational programs of the United States and Korea. We also conducted a survey and interviewed teachers who have experienced teaching children from multi-cultural families. Through the process, this study proposed an educational program for such children to develop their self-esteem.
