Full textAbstract:
This study investigates multicultural attitudes among 168 ECE teacher candidates from four state Islamic universities in Indonesia, using a quantitative descriptive design and the Multicultural Attitudes Survey for Teachers. Results indicate a high average multicultural attitude score of 74.12, with candidates demonstrating confidence in managing multicultural classrooms and promoting cultural pride among children. However, their attitudes are primarily based on personal interactions rather than formal coursework. Interviews with 27 respondents further explore multicultural education practices during teaching practicum, revealing a need for improved collaboration with parents and greater emphasis on multicultural education in both teacher education and ECE curricula. Practical implications include integrating multicultural education into teacher education programs, fostering experiential learning for attitude development, and expanding multicultural education coverage in ECE curricula to enhance children's multicultural awareness.

Full textAbstract:
The present research examines how teachers implement Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) as part of multicultural education in a higher education institution. The urgency of the current research lies in the fact that teachers of the 21st century need to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to survive in this interconnected world. However, it was evidenced that one of the challenges in implementing multicultural education is the lack of teachers' skills to be culturally responsive. Accordingly, it is essential to highlight the implementation of Culturally Responsive Teaching in the Indonesian setting. In doing so, a qualitative case study is employed to answer the research questions. The current research involves six multicultural classroom teachers as research participants with different characteristics. To gain a depth understanding of the teachers' attitudes, the researchers employed semi-structured interviews and observation as data collection techniques. Using thematic data analysis, the results indicated nine practices that reflect the implementation of Culturally Responsive Teaching in the higher education context. The nine practices are: giving more freedom to students in selecting the familiar topic, emphasizing preserving local wisdom, celebrating different perspectives in the discussion, allowing gaining and checking students' understanding, talking personally outside the class, focusing more on positive rather than negative, being a role model, being patient, and sharing the experience.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the common assumption that teachers of color (TOC) are more culturally competent than White teachers by assessing physical education teachers’ cultural competency. A secondary purpose was to ascertain the possible differences in cultural competence levels of White teachers in diverse school settings versus those in more racially homogenous schools. One hundred and ninety physical education teachers from two states in the southeastern U.S. completed a demographic questionnaire and the Multicultural Teaching Competency Scale (MTCS) (Spanierman et al., 2006). The MTCS consists of two subscales; multicultural teaching knowledge (MTK), and multicultural teaching skills (MTS). MANCOVA analyses indicated significant differences with TOC scoring higher in both MTK and MTS than White teachers. Results also indicated that White teachers in city school settings scored significantly higher in MTK than those from more rural school. Results and implications for teacher preparation and professional development are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Multicultural education is transformative, emancipatory, and justice-oriented. As multiculturalism is the defining characteristic of Nepali society and the basic identity of Nepal, the relevancy of multicultural education can hardly be exaggerated. The Constitution of Nepal, 2015 has also acknowledged unity in diversity as the basic feature of the country. So, multiculturalism needs to be incorporated into Nepal’s educational system and teacher education programme. In this context, this study aims to explore multiculturalism in teacher education curriculum of Tribhuvan University and outlines the basic features of multiculturalism and assesses the present teacher education curriculum of English Education in B. Ed under Tribhuvan University in terms of multiculturalism. Analysing the different components of English Education Courses of B. Ed in English Education, it is concluded that multiculturalism is adequately addressed in objectives and content of reading courses while other English education courses address multiculturalism in terms of evaluation and teaching strategies not in content and objectives.

Full textAbstract:
There are large number of students from around the world who are planning to continue their education in the U.S. universities. They have different nationalities, cultural backgrounds, social beliefs, and so on. Moreover, the educators who are from different countries have the special cultures. This is their task to manage the culturally diverse classrooms to obtain the best results for the educational purposes. In this study, the focus was on three main issues: (a) teaching in multicultural higher education, (b) students’ attitudes toward the different cultures (especially their classmates), and (c) the strategies the educators apply in the multicultural classroom to establish peace. Five Iranian faculties who were teaching English language literature subject, in California State universities, were selected and interviewed via Skype. The results showed that they had a very positive attitude toward teaching in multicultural classrooms. The educators claimed that they apply the emotional empathy, empathy training, culturally proportional curriculum, and the structured rules for the multicultural classroom. One of them argued that holding conferences regarding the diversity is very useful, and the other one proposed that holding involuntary service, sport, and community programs for both the immigrant and the local students is considerable to make the students closer and establish the sense of peace among them.

"Immigrant Students’ Experiences of Higher Education in Iceland: Why Does Culturally Responsive Teaching Matter?"

Full textAbstract:
The paper is based on the first, extensive, qualitative study on immigrant students’ experiences of university education in Iceland. The theoretical framework is based on culturally responsive teaching that derives from multicultural education theory which focuses on analysing the position of minority groups, including immigrants in societies with special attention to their access to education. According to the theory, culturally responsive teaching methods and balanced workload based on the students’ language abilities, previous experiences and background have positive effects on the immigrant students’ well-being and generally contribute to their sense of belonging in the universities (e.g. Gay, 2018; Nieto, 2010). The participants of the study are 41 immigrant university students who participated in focus group and individual interviews. The findings show that despite the fact that culturally responsive teaching as an established teaching method is still an uncommon phenomenon in Icelandic universities, the students’ experiences are highly positive, even when culturally responsive teaching is applied unsystematically by some teachers. Furthermore, the findings reveal that the students especially valued an atmosphere of care, trust and power-sharing in the classroom. The study makes a significant contribution to understanding immigrant students’ experiences of the education process in Icelandic universities that currently emphasise the importance of multicultural education and pay special attention to providing equal rights to education to everyone regardless of their origin. Furthermore, the study is relevant from a comparative perspective and contributes to the general discussion about immigrant students in higher education in Europe.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide insights for educators when adapting their pedagogy to suit the increasingly diverse international student body. Design/methodology/approach – Archival analysis was conducted at three levels: students’ teaching style preference; epistemology of the students’ home culture; and national sociocultural dimensions. Findings – The study elucidates the importance of recognizing heterogeneity rather than homogeneity of the increasingly international student body. It extends understanding of sociocultural underpinnings of different student learning styles and encourages educators to increase their cultural empathy to adapt their pedagogy. Originality/value – This paper helps forge the way to a truly global learning environment. Understanding, adapting to and celebrating the differences among international students helps to create more inclusive learning about our global community.

The development of Islamic Religious Education curriculum in Indonesian Public Universities is a necessity, because the nation which is undergoing changes in this era of democratization requires a framework of thinking and proper implementation for students. This is especially so when it is associated with the multiculturalism of this nation, both culture, ethnicity, language, and religion. The purpose of this research is mainly to get answers about how to develop a curriculum for Islamic religious education in public universities based on multiculturalism. Then this study also aims to obtain data on the implementation and development of teaching materials for Islamic religious education in public universities. The methods used in this research include: survey, exposed facto method, phenomenology related to developments that have been carried out by public universities and evaluating them. Thus, the qualitative and explanatory approaches are interrelated with each other. The results of this study are in the form of descriptions of Islamic religious education materials in public universities that have been developed over the last 3 years. In addition, the main material for PAI can be stated as a benchmark for MKDU in Indonesian universities.

Full textAbstract:
South Korea is becoming more of a multicultural society due to the increase of trade, the influx of foreign labourers, the increase of international marriages, and globalization. The term, “multiculturalism” has become a familiar term in South Korean. Multicultural education is promoted by many South Korean scholars and educators as an effective means by which to solve the many issues now occurring from the social, cultural and ethnic diversity in South Korea. My research and approach to the issues of diversity, is relevant to multiculturalism, most of the research focusing on the K-12 levels in education (elementary, middle, and high school). There are few multicultural art education programs for college students or adults in South Korea. The programs in existence are commonly used to introduce foreign cultures by using traditional art making and study, such as mask making, traditional clothing design, and doll making. Multicultural art education could be expanded into higher education curriculum to include university students and continuing education for non-traditional adult students, to cover and realize more fully the goals of multicultural education. The aim of this paper is to introduce multicultural art education lessons implemented by two international art instructors working at a university located in the United States who have implemented their multicultural art education program for more than two years. The art classes in this program are designed for non-art major students and are one of the more popular courses offered at the university.
Even though the lessons in this paper are made for a particular social setting and purpose, by sharing the art lessons taught in the program, I have hope that the South Korean multicultural art education program will expand the scope of their curriculum so the goals of multiculturalism meet the needs of the diversity in the country

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to investigate academic staff commitment to implementing curriculum from multicultural perspectives in Eastern Ethiopian higher education. This problem is instigated by the long-term ignored area or multicultural issues in teaching and learning process in higher education in Ethiopia which, in turn, has become a basis of the increase of plentiful difficulties. To achieve the intended objective, a descriptive design was employed. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that the commitment of academic staff was low and there was no gender difference in implementing curriculum. Based on the findings, it is concluded that if academic staff had been committed and used culturally responsive pedagogy, the implementation of a multicultural curriculum would have been ensured. Therefore, based on these findings implications were made for future research and suggested addressing and alleviating salient problems.

Full textAbstract:
The article substantiates the main priority and innovative ideas of this problem in theory and practice, examines the semantic meaning of the concepts of "multicultural education", "multicultural upbringing", "civic identity", "tolerance", and identifies effective forms and interactive methods of education and training with school and university students in the context of reforming the education system. Three levels of multicultural education are highlighted, including ethnic, civic and global (planetary). It is noted that multicultural education synthesizes knowledge about culture, which is the property of the civilized world, about ethnic culture, about national culture as a product of historical mutual enrichment and interpenetration of ethnic cultures. It is emphasized that the very concept of "multicultural education" is inextricably linked with the concept of "civic identity" in the meaning that the latter as a form of social life of a person encompasses "the feeling of being a part of society and the desire to be an active member of it in the present and future. The author characterizes the technology of education of the culture of personal self-affirmation, which actualizes the multicultural focus, active civic position of the student's personality. The described innovative program on English language teaching methods developed by the British Council in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine within the framework of the project "New Generation School Teacher" focuses on the formation of students' professional and pedagogical competences of future teachers, the development of critical thinking, initiative, creativity, independent thinking, and active citizenship in the socio-cultural reality. The author summarizes that the analysis of domestic and foreign experience makes it possible to comprehensively study the problems of civic identity and tolerance in the context of multiculturalism of the modern educational space. Therefore, it is undoubtedly especially valuable to clearly define and substantiate a conceptually oriented perspective which would contribute to the development of active civic position of pupils and student youth, the formation of national consciousness, the formation of high moral feelings and habits, would ensure the creation of a positive system of pupils' and students' attitudes towards reality, and establish tolerant intercultural relations in various activities. Key words: multicultural education, multicultural upbringing, tolerance, intercultural communication, civic identity, culture of personal self-affirmation, interactive methods, personality-oriented approach.

Currently, global education and global citizenship for social transformation addresses the issues of cordial and harmonious existence of our time. Africa is a multilingual and multicultural continent with about 3.000 ethnic groups and 2000 languages spoken; therefore, introduction of multicultural approach in teaching will ensure effective socialization and transformative education in Africa. The roots to challenge bias, prejudice and creating classroom environment that reflects the learner’s culture for national unity lies in multicultural education. Multicultural education is a system of instruction which attempts to foster cultural pluralism and acknowledges the difference between race and culture in order to promote societal change and orderliness. This work examined a multicultural educational strategy which could be used in helping students from diverse racial, cultural, ethnic and language groups to experience academic success. Multicultural Concepts Knowledge Test (r=0.82), Multicultural Concept Attitude Scale (r= 0.86) were administered on 251 junior secondary school students from five secondary schools in the south-west region of Nigeria using the simple random technique. Two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of covariance. Treatment had significant main effect on students’ posttest knowledge scores in multicultural concepts (F (2,340) = 5.835; p<.05). and attitude to multicultural concepts (F (2,340) = 34.055; P<.05). The MCA shows that the cooperative learning group had higher adjusted posttest knowledge score (x =10.14; Dev. =.83) In summary, findings of this study revealed that the cooperative multicultural learning strategy is effective for teaching multicultural classrooms. Therefore, this calls for improved approaches towards teaching by educators in order to bring us closer to the goal of multicultural education

Greater disparities and inadequacies of English proficiency (EP) may influence the educational process for EFL teachers of different cultural backgrounds. This study aims at describing the condition of 104 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ EP in the Southern Region of Sumatra in relation to such variables as education level (EL), cultural backgrounds, teaching assignment level, and gender. Using English test scores of teachers’ teaching status (pre-service and in-service), EL, gender, multicultural education questionnaire, and teaching assignment, teachers’ EP is described. This study reveals that EL affects EP and also becomes the best predictor of their cultural knowledge and experience, such as personal development, leadership, curriculum instruction, general sensitivity, and cultural awareness. Furthermore, teachers teaching at higher levels of education appear to be better in EP than those teaching at lower levels, and in-service teachers are also better than pre-service teachers in their teaching responsibility. Although there is no difference in gender in their EP as a whole, females’ EP, listening skill, and personal development are significantly correlated. The implication of the findings indicates that to be proficient in English and culturally developed with integrity, teachers must have at least a master’s degree in addition to having an in-service status of teaching employment.

This autoethnographic study explores our experiences as postsecondary researcher-educators with a particular focus on our team teaching experience in a teacher education course at Western Vancouver University, located in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), Canada. We have introduced a case study of a Japanese temporary resident family with a toddler to our teacher candidates of BC. This case study was based on an interdisciplinary analytical lens: educational sociolinguistics and clinical psychology, which examined the case of the child having been diagnosed with mild autism in the BC’s medical system. The authors introduced this multicultural pedagogical content in higher education in order to cultivate critically internationalized analytical lenses of the teacher candidates. Our critical analysis of this clinical case suggested more than what the medical diagnosis had claimed. This contribution aims to 1) problematize the lack of societal awareness and the legitimacy of such scholarly inquiries, and 2) explore what impacts such critical multicultural contents may bring to teacher education in our multilingual and multicultural society.

The concept of cultural intelligence has been the object of increasing attention from the scientific community due to its importance in a globalized world. To fulfil their mission, higher education institutions need individuals capable of effectively interacting with others who come from different cultural backgrounds. This study analyzes the level of cultural intelligence and its background in a Portuguese engineering higher education institution. This study used a cultural intelligence scale and applied it to a sample of 445 participants. The results show that individuals in this Portuguese institution have an interesting level of awareness of others’ cultural preferences. However, particular attention should be paid to improving the outcome of the cognitive dimension. The results show the potential of international experiences and activities that foster cultural exposure. Consequently, the managers of institutions should make efforts to promote Erasmus programs or similar internships abroad. In addition, they should promote activities that foster multicultural contact, whether extracurricular activities or multicultural clubs or associations, meetings, lectures or classes with appropriate pedagogical methodologies, for example, experiential or collaborative teaching.

Full textAbstract:
Multiculturalism refers to the existence of different social groups in society. Multiculturalism advocates a society in which no culture is dominant. Multiculturalism is a fact of life for many people. Multiculturalism and globalization affect how people organize the world around them and how they see themselves and others. Multicultural education offers an educational program that concerns not only specific minorities but also all social groups. Today, with the effect of globalization, teachers and students can participate in educational activities all over the world. This situation requires educators to approach multicultural education positively in order to ensure equality of opportunity in education. In this study, it is aimed to examine the relationship between prospective primary school teachers and pre-school teacher candidates’ attitudes towards multiculturalism and refugee students. The article summarizes the information on multicultural education, which is one of the reflections of globalization on education, and refugee students and equal opportunities in education. The research was carried out with the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. In the study, it was determined that the sum of multicultural attitudes increased the general level of attitude towards refugee students. Another result of the research is that the sum of multicultural attitudes increases the level of communication, adaptation and efficiency. In the study, the communication scores of the preschool teaching department were also found to be higher than the communication scores of the primary school teaching department.

This paper presents the results of an international collaboration on ethics teaching for personal and professional values within the area of formal higher education using new communication technologies. The course design was based on the dialogic technique and was aimed at clarifying the students’ own values, defining their own positions related to ethical dilemmas, developing argumentative strategies and an ethical commitment to their profession and contribution to society. The online dialogue between heterogeneous groups of students based on their cultural background –the main innovation of this training– was possible thanks to the technological and administrative support of the participating universities. To analyze the effect of this innovative training we employed a quasi-experimental design using a control group, i.e., without the option of online dialogue with students from another culture. University students from Spain (University of Cantabria) and Chile (Universidad Autónoma de Chile) participated in this study. The positive results, which included better scores and positive assessments of both debate involvement and intercultural contact by students who participated in the new teaching program, support the main conclusion that the opening of international dialogue on moral dilemmas through new communication technologies contributes significantly to improve ethics training in higher education. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de una colaboración internacional para la formación ética centrada en valores personales y profesionales dentro de la educación formal superior empleando las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación. La formación diseñada basada en la técnica dialógica pretende que el estudiante clarifique sus valores, se posicione ante dilemas éticos y desarrolle estrategias argumentativas, así como un compromiso ético con su profesión y contribución a la sociedad. La principal innovación de esta formación es la incorporación del diálogo online entre grupos de estudiantes heterogéneos por su origen cultural, esto fue posible gracias a la colaboración de dos universidades y al apoyo tecnológico y administrativo aportado por las mismas. Para analizar el efecto de esta formación innovadora se ha empleado un diseño cuasi-experimental con grupo control, en el que se formaba en valores pero no existía la posibilidad de un diálogo online con estudiantes de otra cultura. En este estudio participaron estudiantes de la Universidad Autónoma de Chile y de la Universidad de Cantabria (España). Entre los resultados obtenidos destacamos las mejores calificaciones y positiva valoración de la participación en los debates y del contacto intercultural por parte de los estudiantes que siguieron la formación más innovadora. Estos resultados permiten concluir que la apertura internacional del diálogo gracias al uso de las tecnologías de la comunicación contribuye de forma significativa a la formación ética en la educación superior.

One of the courses in educational institutions in higher education, which is very related with the development of morals and behavior is Religious Education. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at Public Higher Education (PTU) is a continuation of the teaching received by students starting from the Elementary Level, Junior and Senior High Schools. In the structure of the national higher education curriculum, Islamic religious education courses are compulsory subjects for all Muslim students in all public tertiary institutions, both public and private universities. The progress of an educational institution, one of which is determined by the teaching materials or curriculum applied, whether it is in accordance with the needs of stakeholders. Indonesia is a multicultural country, so the design of teaching materials or curriculum must be developed according to the demands of the times, times and circumstances. Therefore, the authors state that there are 4 reasons why this paper is important to study: First, the lack of knowledge of Islam among PTU students and public schools; second, the rise of brawls between students (students); third, lack of appreciation among students and students in the field of religion; and fourth, the decreased empathy and religiosity of students and students.

Recently conflict among university students has become common phenomenon at higher education around Indonesia. Makassar is considered one of the prone conflict areas which can destroy campus academic life as scientific institution where students are expected to be able to become more educative, more human, more democratic and more harmonious people around the society. This study aims at exploring the causes of the conflict happened at the university students in South Sulawesi, the efforts done by the tertiary institution in overcoming students conflict, the potential of applying multicultural education, and finding out the model of students resolution conflict based on multicultural education approach. This research applied qualitative approach by using likert-scale questionnaire, in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD), observation, documentation and videoing to get data. The obtained data are analyzed qualitatively and percentage based on the likert scale; data display, data reduction, data interpretation, and data conclusion. The result of the study demonstrated that most of the students’ conflicts are dealing with inequality, lack of intercultural understanding, and a very limited space for ethnic and individual expressions as part of academic society. This leads to potentially open a space for applying multicultural education as an alternative model for mental revolution in teaching Intercultural Communication to university students.

As internationalization of higher education has become more prevalent, the search for approaches to support quality learning within multicultural classrooms has become critical. In this study, we presented a blended and collaborative learning (BCL) method and discussed its potential as a viable learning approach for graduate classrooms with culturally-diverse students. We first discussed implementation of a BCL approach in a multicultural graduate course, then explored learnings gained from the BCL experience in terms of three interdependent Community of Inquiry elements: teaching, cognitive, and social presences, and in terms of its implementation in a multicultural setting.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of graduate students about the need for a multicultural education course at doctoral level in a mid-sized higher education public institution in Southwest Florida. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study method was applied with multiple sources of data collected, including semi-structured interviews, observations and students’ written papers, online discussions and assignments that aimed to prepare educators to teach culturally diverse students and challenge their own perceptions about culture, race and other multicultural education-related topics. Findings The findings indicate that, even though the multicultural education course promoted an eye-opening transformational experience for students through their interactions and learning from each other, the students still need further training in multicultural education because of their limited culturally responsive teaching skills. Research limitations/implications Limitations of the study are that both the researchers were deeply involved with the material and the class, as the class professor and one of the students, which might have affected the authors’ perception about the students’ journey in learning about multicultural education. The researchers’ dual-role (as researchers and course professor and graduate assistant) might have influenced the participants’ responses, as they knew they were part of a research project. Thus, the participants’ spontaneity in sharing their opinions and beliefs about multicultural education may have been hampered, perhaps responding what the researchers expected rather than with their authentic perspectives on the topics. Practical implications The implications of this study to teachers, educators and practitioners are that it invites the readers to reflect on their academic preparedness to work with culturally diverse students. For policymakers, the study indicates the need for creating standards that aim to examine in-service graduate student teachers about their self-efficacy, readiness and dispositions to work with culturally diverse students. Originality/value Because of the limited publications on doctoral students learning multicultural education, the authors’ study offers an important insight into the transformational experience of doctoral students learning multicultural education and the implications for improving graduate courses in multicultural education.

Ensuring intercultural communication in modern learning conditions is an urgent problem for research, given the globalization of the educational space. The article aims at analyzing intercultural communication in higher education institutions in Ukraine. To implement this goal, a systematic method of research was used, which allowed to comprehend intercultural communication as a dynamic phenomenon, and a method of thematic categorization, which allowed to outline the main research problems. The results of the study found that intercultural communication is the idea of interaction between multilingual and multicultural individuals through the establishment and arrangement of interconnection and the search for mutual understanding. The important role of the teacher as a mediator in the organization of the educational process is also emphasized: teaching work today also involves establishing the intercultural interaction between applicants for education, who often belong to different cultural environments. In Ukrainian realities, this work is complicated by Russian aggression, but the dynamics of the increase in the number of foreign students in Ukrainian universities demonstrated that the process of establishing cultural communication not only existed, but also developed. In conclusion, attention is drawn to the importance of ethical moments of interaction, since in different cultures there is a different perception of respect, morality, the role of gender, etc.

A modern educational environment of higher professional education is becoming more multicultural. However, not all universities are able to provide a comfortable multicultural educational environment: university staff experience different issues in communication with international students. The aim of the article is to specify the term “professional communication competence of the university staff with international students” and define the forms and methods for developing this competence. The term “professional communication competence of the university staff with international students” is defined in the basis of the analysis of research literature on the topic of intercultural communication in higher education. Taking into account the principles of andragogy and the concept of humane oriented education, the forms and methods of adult learning and teaching were defined (discussions, case study, gamification). The research results can be used to design and implement the training programs to advance university staff proficiency. The novelty of the research is in the description of the forms and methods of developing the university staff’s professional communication competence in view of age-specific features in a multicultural educational environment.

This is shown by the two main functions of Islamic boarding school . The first one is as an educational institution with an educational system and typical teaching learning pattern. The second one is Islamic boarding school always internalizes Islamic values in the middle of the Islamic boarding community as well as the community in general. In this case , Islamic values that are accordance with multicultural values.Multicultural education encourages educational institutions to play a role in instilling awareness in a pluralistic society and developing an attitude of tasamuh tolerance to create cooperation with all the difference that exist . Multicultural based Islamic boarding school education is a progressive approach to transform education that holistically provides critics and shows the weaknesses of failure and discrimination in the world of education. Innovation steps taken by Islamic boarding schools in responding to the dynamics of education in Indonesia, students have a formal education diploma in addition to maintain their existence as traditional educational institutions. This then makes Islamic boarding schools innovate in their policies and education systems.This research is located in two places, namely Islamic boarding school Tebuireng Jombang and Islamic boarding school Sirojul Ulum Kediri.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine if it is valid to integrate global citizenship education with ELF(English as a lingua franca)-aware teaching and learning in order for English learners to cultivate global identi-ties and multicultural perspectives as ELF speakers.
Methods Based on a survey conducted among 136 English learners who attend K university, correlation and cau-sation between global citizenship and ELF awareness in learning English were analyzed.
Results The result showed general global citizenship and ELF awareness in learning English were significantly correlated(r=.454, p<.001), indicating that the higher global citizenship they develop, the higher ELF awareness they perceive, or the other way around. In addition, two subcategories of global citizenship, social participation(β= .302, p<.01) and multicultural awareness(β=.224, p<.01), yielded a meaningful regression coefficient for ELF awareness, implying that exposure to various global issues and muticultural experiences cause the students to re-alize ELF awareness and build intercultural competence.
Conclusions From these findings, it is expected that the integration of global citizenship education and ELF-aware teaching and learning may play a positive role in leading English learners to develop global competence, such as communication skills, multicultural awareness and social participation.

In the current era, human diversity is constantly changing due to the exponential spread of information and communication technologies, which promotes human interaction. Cultural overlap between different societies, as well as increasing rates of migration across borders strengthen multiculturalism. The education system is often influenced by the cultural reformation in society, which shapes the way education is structured, teaching styles, curriculum development and education objectives. Given that Islamic culture is the dominant one in the Middle East, it is assumed that its ideals and principles will uphold multiculturalism and inclusion, as with any other great religions. This study aims to explore the role of Islamic culture in promoting multicultural education in the Middle East, to examine the application of the concepts of multicultural education, and to reflect on the idea of multiculturalism. A sample of 37 college instructors and 312 higher education students participated in the study by answering the questionnaire, which was conducted using a mixed-method approach. The results of the study showed that Islamic values and beliefs have a remarkable influence on the adoption of multiculturalism in education without compromising Islamic beliefs and values. Furthermore, multiculturalism ideas are incorporated into instruction and student communications. According to the research report, employing a multicultural education platform effectively will require curricular adaptation.

Understanding the reading and writing of L2 learners has been always a challenge for language teachers (de Jong & Harper, 2005; Hyland, 2007; Spack, 1988). The Morpheme Order Studies and Language Transfer Theory have confirmed the challenges of L2 learners, especially among multicultural students (Krashen, 1982; & Cziko, 1978; Goldschneider & DeKeyser, 2002; Lowie & Verspoor, 2007; Nunan, 2009; Spencer, 2003). Teaching such L2 learners require immense theoretical, practical and subsequently a wholistic approach (Kumaravadivelu, 2000). This qualitative study (case study) seeks to examine the challenges of language transfer among the multicultural students of a private higher education institution in Silang, Philippines. Research respondents were the multi-cultural Higher Education Students and their English language teachers. The data was collected through observation, interviews and focus group. The findings do show the possible challenges and acceptance of language transfer. The study ended with recommendations to bridge the gap of the challenging knowledge experiences of L2 teachers and learners of multi-cultural background.

This study is based on the results of the OECD (2018) structured survey of 1,093 teachers at universities in Australia, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Georgia, Malta, Vietnam, Turkey, and Argentina, examined policy, the practice of cultural characteristics in training specialists, and teachers' attitudes to cultural diversity. The attitude and perception of cultural features by teachers does not determine the practice of forming a cultural environment and managing this environment to ensure quality education of students of different nations. The main culturological aspects of training are self-expression of cultural and ethnic identities, expression of cultural characteristics and their value through multicultural activities in universities, teaching students to combat ethnic or cultural discrimination. Therefore, the formation of a multicultural environment in higher education occurs through the activities of students and teachers, which complement each other.

The article considers the experience of higher education institutions on modern methods of training future philologists-translators. In the context of Ukraine’s integration into the European and world community, the activity of a philologist-translator, focused on strengthening economic, social, cultural and scientific ties between countries, ethnic groups, professional associations and individuals, becomes especially important. It is determined that translation is a communicative mediation between people who use different sign systems. Given the importance of its role in the modern multicultural environment, the problem of training qualified philologists-translators in the higher education system is relevant. It has been proved that recently the requirements for the level of training of a philologist-translator, his professional competencies and personal qualities have increased, thus orienting teachers of higher education institutions to apply innovative approaches to the organization of the educational process. The role of interactive teaching methods in the process of training future philologists-translators is substantiated. It is determined that the following types of interactive learning are used in domestic higher education institutions: case study method, training conferences, translation quests, simulation of real translation situations, project method, game technologies, interpretation competitions. It is proved that the key task of higher education is the formation of professional competencies of future philologists-translators, which include personal characteristics that ensure the effective performance of professional functions.

Guided by a theoretical framework underpinned by Critical Multicultural Education (Banks, 2019), this study aimed to understand university faculty members’ attitudes toward the presentation of Caribbean and Louisiana-themed content in French and Spanish textbooks and their associated teaching practices. A Likert-Scale survey was employed, and it was discovered that faculty members felt textbook content about the Caribbean was more or less accurate, but content about Louisiana was inaccurate. Likewise, they had to adjust their teaching practices to be more intentional about how these areas are presented in their teaching and represented in novice and intermediate French and Spanish courses. The findings of this study help to inform curriculum design in higher education World Language courses and assist in curriculum development efforts that align with frameworks that center on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as the core of course design.

The multicultural nature of the environment in which the modern educational process is carried out imposes on the teacher the obligation to be able to work with children of different ethnic groups, different beliefs, from different cultures. Since, in practice, most novice teachers are not ready for effective activity in a multicultural environment, the purpose of the research was to study training pedagogical students to work in a multicultural environment. In the research the following methods were used: analysis of pedagogical literature on the issue; pedagogical experiment (the one group pretest-post-test design); diagnostic techniques, including interviewing pedagogical undergraduate students, ranking of activities to train to work in a multicultural environment. The experiment involved junior students (I-II year) and senior students (IV-V year) of the South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, studying in the direction of “Pedagogical education (with two training profiles)”, where the second profile is English (84 respondents). After the pedagogical experiment, self-assessment of students' readiness to work in a multicultural environment improved: at the final stage of the experiment, on the basis of the sign test (G-criterion) at a significance level of 0.01, statistically significant differences were revealed between the pre-experimental and post-experimental values of self-esteem. The obtained empirical value of the criterion, equal to 7 (Gemp = 7), is less than the critical one (Gctit = 19), which indicates the transition of the group to a higher level of readiness to work in a multicultural environment. The preferences of the types of activity during the experiment changed: before the experiment, students chose the activity-based component of training, after the experiment they preferred information-based component. The results indicate that in order to train pedagogical students to work in a multicultural environment, a complex of activities, including both information-based and activity-based components of education, is to be applied. It was concluded that special attention should be paid to the study of the cultures of countries from which a vast number of migrants came to Russia, as well as to elements of conflictological education. The applied part of teacher training should include school-based experience in teaching classes with multicultural students.

Purpose: Cultural competence is an essential component in nursing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of cultural competence of graduating nursing students, to identify associated background factors to cultural competence, and furthermore to establish whether teaching multicultural nursing was implemented in nursing education. Design: A structured Cultural Competence Assessment Tool was used in a correlational design with a sample of 295 nursing students in southern Finland. Findings and Conclusions: The level of cultural competence was moderate, and the majority of students had studied multicultural nursing. Minority background ( p = .001), frequency of interacting with different cultures ( p = .002), linguistic skills ( p = .002), and exchange studies ( p = .024) were positively associated to higher cultural competence. Implications for Practice: To improve cultural competence in students, nursing education should provide continuous opportunities for students to interact with different cultures, develop linguistic skills, and provide possibilities for internationalization both at home and abroad.

Background Context There has been much recent discussion on the role of spirituality in higher education, and much emphasis in the past 20 years on the importance of attending to diversity and equity concerns, though for the most part these discussions have been separate. This paper takes up the suggestion of scholars such as Barbara Wallace who noted that it is time for a new approach to critical multicultural teaching in higher education, to one that emphasizes social justice, an end to oppression, and spirituality Focus of Study The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to discuss the role of spirituality (and its similarities and differences to religion) in engaging the notion of “the cultural imagination”; and (2) to discuss how one can draw on spirituality and the cultural imagination in the higher education classroom in dealing with cultural or diversity and equity issues. Research Design This discussion draws on the combined insights of the following: an earlier qualitative study exploring how spirituality informs the work of 31 educators from different cultural groups teaching classes dealing with diversity and equity issues and how they draw on it in the classroom; the insights of many recent authors who discuss the importance of attending to both imagination and spirituality in higher education teaching without pushing a religious agenda; and those who draw on cultural story, image, symbol, poetry, and art as a part of their teaching about diversity and equity issues. Conclusions and Recommendations In the ongoing process of meaning-making about culture, individuals re-weave new patterns of meaning by combining new threads of cultural and other experience with the old threads. This process is engaging cultural imagination. Image, symbol, music, ritual, art, poetry, often touch off memory in conscious and unconscious ways, which sometimes connects to spirituality. This paper explores how one can combine these ways of knowing that are a part of cultural imagination, with the intellectual and critical analysis aspects of higher education to facilitate greater student learning and greater equity in society.

This study presents findings on the implementation of a teaching learning tool to enhance culturally responsive learning to enhance awareness of and knowledge about Malaysian traditional crafts in Visual Art classes. Most research in the Malaysian context exploring culturally responsive pedagogical methods has investigated theoretical and general properties, but few have attempted to investigate innovating tools to improve teaching and learning in schools and higher education. New methods with interesting features to teach certain cultural elements will not only trigger learning but can also instil the targeted values in students especially those living in multi racial countries. Using the Design and Development Method for one such tool, this study presents an evaluation of the Craft Fun Kit utilised by an experienced Visual Arts Education teacher in his class to study the students’ responses to and acceptance of the tool both to enhance learning and multicultural awareness. The overall results found that the Craft Fun Kit is relevant and appropriate as a learning tool which can enable students to attain Visual Art education learning outcomes at the secondary school level in Malaysia.

Background: Online distance learning (e-learning) is an established method for providing higher education on a global scale due to its potential to reduce inequalities particularly in the area of public health education. Simultaneously, multicultural education is a key component of health education and can be achieved by fostering cultural pluralism and mutual respect within the teaching and learning environment. Objective: Online learning in public health has the potential to bring together practitioners in various fields within a unified forum. Given that undergraduate and graduate education and student interest in the field of public health has grown worldwide over the past decade, exploring the unique features of distance learning becomes a priority area. Consequently, the need for cross-cultural collaborative learning has been on the rise. Methods: The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were searched using the keywords ‘e-learning’, ‘multicultural online education’, ‘cultural sensitivity’, ‘transcultural’, ‘cultural diversity’, ‘multicultural education theory’, ‘distance learning’, ‘public health’ and ‘cultural competence’. The quality of each study was rated against set inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Employing different sociological models, this paper (1) describes the historical development of the theories of cultural diversity, (2) describes a cohesive and novel theoretical framework for addressing a cross-cultural approach to public health education and (3) reviews the literature on online education as a means to suggesting different ways in which cross-cultural education can be more fully integrated. Conclusion: Implementation of this theoretical framework proposed here may lead to a better understanding of how best to enhance online public health education and how different forms of peer support can foster cross-cultural educational uptake.

Full textAbstract:
The contemporary society has given rise to the profound need to introduce in the fields of pedagogy and didactics the work with literacies and the transmutation capacity of the teacher as a new actor in these themes, facing them as challenges that allow a more adequate formation in contemporaneity. Our aim is to reflect on the potential of teaching emerging literacies, based on studies on education and literacy, in order to update teachers for the 21st century, that is, with new skills that are now needed to deal with a new public, an information society increasingly full of data, platforms and languages. Between the most relevant literacies we find the film literacy that has a transversal, interdisciplinary and multicultural nature, as well as a double requirement: the knowledge of its identity as an autonomous matter of study and its teaching, allowing the transmission of semiotic instruments and tools, adaptable to different audiences and characteristics. Film literacy requires an axial place in Higher Education, along with other Literacies, in order to allow the acquisition of an adequate semiotic response to the ever more complex and omnipresent universe of information.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most popular strategies to develop skills such as collaborative work, critical thinking, and problem-solving is the application of COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) through a Global Classroom in which Professors from at least two universities from different countries and cultures develop a period known as "Global Classroom" in which, through the Challenge Based Learning didactic technique, they solve a real-life challenge but from a distance, using digital communication tools. In this study, 4-week global courses were held between groups from the Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico and groups from the UNIMINUTO University in Colombia. The challenges developed were related to two fundamental issues: 1) Management of natural resources and climate change and 2) Biomimetics. Students were able to develop skills to communicate effectively through online interaction with people from different cultures and disciplines and use technological tools that facilitate communication and distance learning in multicultural virtual environments. The use of Global Classroom in their respective areas of study is made available to those interested as a valuable tool to provide students with the opportunity to live sustainable international experiences and promote the Sustainable Development Goals. Current teaching models involve active and experiential learning and developing soft and hard skills. The Global Classroom experience is a tool that allowed continuity in the preparation of students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
The article is aimed at studying the role of the teacher at the initial stage of teaching international students as a subject of the educational process and analysis of modern requirements for teachers, which forms a new generation of ethical technicians.
In today’s world, education is a necessary factor in human progress, socio-economic development and global competitiveness. Higher education institutions teach students who will soon be able to operate independently in today’s economy. The development of the Ukrainian economy depends on the quality of training. The quality education and upbringing of a responsible, ethically literate personality of a specialist depends on the teacher, who is the central figure in the educational process.
A multicultural audience deals with students’ diverse backgrounds in terms of mother tongue, ethnicity and culture. In the process of teaching and learning, diversity is taken into account when deciding on appropriate educational strategies. The National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute" conducted a set of applied research in the field of training of foreign citizens.
Observational data are analyzed descriptively using innovative teaching methods of international students, and it can be concluded that the study will contribute to the formation of spiritually rich, highly educated professionals in various technical fields. Moreover, the results of this study show that teachers still play a significant role in the multicultural classroom.
Therefore, teachers of foreign language training faculties should have knowledge of the peculiarities of students’ national culture, mentality and etiquette, religious traditions. It will help mitigate the rapid immersion of foreigners in the socio-cultural and linguistic environment of Ukraine. At the same time, among the professional qualities of a modern teacher, the innovative type of thinking, the ability to see and predict probable prospects for the development of applied technologies, as well as active independent research activities are of particular importance.

<p style="text-align:justify">The research aimed to examine students' attitudes towards learning and teaching processes in an online course, investigating whether there was a difference between Jewish and Arab students' attitudes towards this course. The study combined mixed methods. Data were drawn from a questionnaire (including mostly closed-ended questions) completed by 195 graduate students and eight semi- structured interviews. Additionally, the students' grades for their course assignments were analyzed. Findings indicated that all course participants perceived the teaching and learning processes positively, but Jewish students held stronger positive attitudes concerning the learning processes' effectiveness than did Arab students. Jewish course participants' achievements were higher than those of Arab participants. The variable `sector` had a moderating effect on perceptions of the course structure's clarity and success in the course, strong clarity led to Arab students' success on the course but not for Jewish students. Arab students shared their difficulty adapting to a learning style necessitating autonomous learning processes. These findings are explained by Arab society's unique cultural dimensions, characterised by high-power distance and strong avoidance of uncertainty. The findings can inform designers of multicultural online courses that optimal teaching practices necessitate culture sensitivity, and this constitutes an issue for future studies.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Educational Digital Storytelling (EDS) is a powerful technology-enhanced learning approach that enables learners to develop 21st century skills. Students often complain about their digital illiteracy, academic writing challenges, and lack of interaction in classes. In the current case study, 50 multilingual and multicultural ESL student-teachers were involved in the creation of digital stories in an undergraduate module. Students used Canva to create their own digital stories which included text, images, videos, podcasts, and infographics. The overall aim was to improve their academic performance and motivation towards learning, and explore their attitudes towards this new dynamic learning-oriented instructional strategy. The current semi-experimental study tried to challenge monolingual bias and promote a more integrated and inclusive approach to learning as both efficient and desirable in preparing university students for constructive involvement with various cultural perspectives promoting the creation of global networks. Findings from both quantitative (paired and independent samples t-tests of test scores) and qualitative (anonymous feedback, lecturer observations and focus group discussions) data analyses indicated that learners improved their writing performance, critical thinking skills, self-confidence, and intercultural awareness. Students stated that they felt proud of their final products (digital stories) and that the EDS intervention was rewarding. However, some non-traditional students reported facing challenges with the use of technology. Learners expressed their wish to experiment more with digital stories and use them in other modules. Implications for teaching and learning practices in the Higher Education academic environment and suggestions for the successful implementation of EDS at the tertiary level are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Higher education institutions are changing fast in terms of the inclusion of international students. Consequently, faculty are expected to provide enabling learning environments and experiences for education in diversity. Based on the beliefs and practices of social constructivism philosophy and rooted in the interpretive paradigm, this article examines how faculty in a Ugandan university manage multicultural classes and their efforts to promote inclusive classes and curriculum. Qualitative research methods were employed with a sample of eight faculty. Data were collected by means of face-to-face individual semi-structured interviews that were triangulated with document checks. Data analysis followedGay’s (2000) culturally responsive pedagogical framework, with faculty perspectives summarised in themes. The findings point to challenges in implementing a culturally relevant classroom management model, such as faculty’s inability to fully multiculturalise due to inadequate knowledge of cultural minorities’ backgrounds. However, they reveal that some faculty manage their classes adequately, show care and concern for non-Ugandan students, use several strategies to communicate with them, and endeavour to adjust to suit minority students’ learning styles. The study suggests that much remains to be done to ensure inclusivity and to promote the social constructionist perspective that is inclusive in teaching and learning.

The aim of the article is to examine peculiarities of forming students’ intercultural communicative competence in the process of teaching foreign languages in the context of modern approaches. Methods of the research: description, analysis, generalisation and systematisation of researchers’ views, which are presented in scientific pedagogical literature, dedicated to issues of the development of intercultural communicative competence. The article considers concepts of communication and intercultural communicative competence and identifies a range of directions for the formation of intercultural communicative competence. Theoretical analysis of concepts of competence in the works of domestic and foreign scholars is presented. It is proved that intercultural communicative competence is knowledge and skills that will allow a person, as a communicator, to adequately and effectively communicate with representatives of other cultures. Mastering intercultural communicative competence will integrate the individual into the system of world and national cultures, and eliminate and prevent conflicts and misunderstandings. It is concluded that a foreign language learner should not only be able to correctly formulate thoughts in a foreign language, but should also adhere to cultural norms accepted by native speakers of the language being studied. The need for intercultural communication is evident in many professional fields today. As profiles of the people involved in given business interactions become increasingly multicultural, the ability to communicate effectively across cultural boundaries is often expected of graduates who seek to practice in different professional environments. The implementation of approaches considered in the study will help to optimise the process of teacher education at higher education institutions in general.

Full textAbstract:
The current study describes the nature of physical education teacher education (PETE) programs in the United States. Of the 200 institutions of higher education invited to participate, 116 PETE programs completed a comprehensive questionnaire regarding their undergraduate programs (58% response rate). Respondents reported employing an average of 3.84 (SD = 2.80) full-time and 3.07 (SD = 3.52) part-time faculty members, nearly equal in gender (females = 48%), and overly representative of Caucasians (92% of respondents reported employing a faculty of at least 60% Caucasian). First- and second-year field-based teaching experiences were provided by 77% of respondents. A majority (65.8%) of institutions provided student teaching experiences at the elementary and either middle or high school settings. These experiences typically lasted 9 weeks and were supervised by university personnel three times per setting, and 76.3% were conducted exclusively by PETE faculty. Emphasis on specific curricular models was reported by 83% of respondents, 45.3% reported electronic portfolio development as a primary technology experience, and 62% reported coursework as the primary means by which candidates received multicultural experiences.
