MULTICULTURAL
EDUCATION
What is MULTICULTURAL
EDUCATION ?
Banks and Banks(1995) define
multicultural education as a
field of study and an emerging
discipline whose major aim is
to create equal educational
opportunities from diverse
racial, ethnic, social class and
cultural group.
What is MULTICULTURAL
EDUCATION ?
According to James Banks(2001),
the primary goal of multicultural
education is to transform the
school so that male and female
students, exceptional students,
and students from diverse cultural,
social class, racial, and ethnic
groups experience an equal
opportunity to learn.
What is MULTICULTURAL
EDUCATION ?
A related goal of multicultural
education is to help all students
develop more positive attitudes
toward different racial, ethnic,
cultural and religious group. One
way of achieving this goal is to
transform the curriculum by
integrating these groups. James
Banks says that there are four
approaches for accomplishing this.
APPROACHES TO
MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
LEVEL 2 : ADDITIVE
Special units and topics
about various groups are
added to, but do not
fundamental alter, the
curriculum.
LEVEL 1 : CONTRIBUTIONS
Heroes, holidays and food
become special focus on a
particular day, recognizing
the contributions of various
groups.
LEVEL 3 :
TRANSFORMATION
Curriculum is changed, so
that student see the world
from different perspective of
various groups. LEVEL 4 : SOCIAL ACTION
Students make decisions
about their world and
become directly involved in
social action.
Multicultural education is
progressive approach for
transforming education that
holistically critiques and
addresses current
shortcomings, failings and
discriminatory practices in
education.
Despite a multitude of
differing conceptualizations of
multicultural education, several
shared ideals provide a basis for
its understanding. While some
focus on individual students or
teachers, and others are much
more “ macro “ in scope, these
ideals are all, at their roots,
about transformation:
Every students must have an equal
opportunity to achieve her or his full
potential.
Every students must be prepared to
competently participate in an
increasingly intercultural society.
Teachers must be prepared to
effectively facilitate learning for every
individual student, no matter how
culturally similar or different from
themselves.
Schools must be active participants in
ending oppression of all types, first by
ending oppression within their own
walls, then by producing socially and
Education must become more fully
student-centered and inclusive of the
voices and experiences of the students.
Educators, activists and other must
take a more active role in reexamining all
educational practices and how they affect
the learning of all students : testing
methods, teaching approaches,
evaluation and assessment, school
psychology and counseling.
There are five dimensions of multicultural
education according to Banks (1997 ). They
are :
1. Content Integration
2. Knowledge Construction Process
3. Prejudice Reduction
4. Equity Pedagogy
5. Empowering school culture and social
structure
Dimensions of Multicultural Education
Dimensions of Multicultural Education

their subject area or disciplines.
Dimensions of Multicultural Education
2.KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION
PROCESS – it describe how
teachers help students to
understand, investigate, and
determine how the biases, frames of
reference, and perspectives within a
discipline influence the ways in
which knowledge is constructed
within it.
Dimensions of Multicultural Education
3. PREJUDICE REDUCTION – it
describe lessons and activities
used by teachers to help
students to develop positive
attitudes toward different racial,
ethnic, and cultural groups.
