diversity pedagogy  

Definition

  • Inspired by the civil rights movement in the 1960s, diversity pedagogy emerged in response to the controversial early works that viewed ethnic minority and poor children as deficient due to cultural, language, ethnic, and economic differences. A diversity ideology in education can be defined as structures of visionary thinking or sets of beliefs, attitudes, ideas, opinions, assumptions, and theories that (a) address cultural, social, economic, and political context and curricular content of schooling and (b) examine human developmental issues, social and cognitive growth affecting individual, and group differences in the teachinglearning process.
