Cultural Pluralismin Relation to Education
Millions of ethnic groups mainly built
the society and most of them born in the
reality of having a cultural diversity. Moreover,
Cultural pluralism had been a common part of
the society. Many variations in culture were
mostly seen in different countries which
particularly were in the field of
education (Agcaoili, 2008).
Cultural Pluralismin Relation to Education
Basically, cultural pluralism in every nation is normal. Everyone is used to
this and it became a part of the society. On the other hand, cultural pluralism in
education is helpful in a way that students, having different cultures, interact
with one another. Furthermore, it is expected that students with the same culture
became friends and also, it is possible that students that have different culture
can be friends (Ward, 2007).
Cultural Pluralismin Relation to Education
Cultural pluralism is everywhere. Hence, it would be advantageous or
acceptable to all if there would be no conflicts form. Also, it was one of the ways
of schools to bind different groups and developed a tight relationship between
them.

Cultural Dimensions of Learning, Teaching and Educational Processes
Cultural Responsive Teaching
Culturally Responsive Teaching is a
pedagogy that recognizes the importance of
including students' cultural references in all
aspects of learning. It is an approach that
empowers students intellectually, socially,
emotionally, and politically by using cultural
referents to impart knowledge, skills, and
attitudes (Ladson-Billings,1994).
IT DOES THIS IN THREE IMPORTANT WAYS
Effective teachers accept and value their students as human beings.
Culturally Responsive Teaching acknowledges cultural pluralism in classrooms and accommodates this diversity in instruction.
