Concept information
Preferred term
purposes and goals of multicultural education
Definition
- Multicultural education emphasizes equalizing various dimensions of teaching and learning, such as curriculum content, instructional styles, classroom climates, student–teacher relationships, and assessment procedures. Since its inception, its ultimate goal and mission have remained constant, but how they are conceptualized and operationalized in practice have become more complex and expansive to include culture, social class, gender, language, immigration, ability, and sexual orientation, along with race and ethnicity.
