Rethinking multiculturalism/reassessing multicultural education

在深入了解当代澳大利亚的文化复杂性和多元文化话语的概念框架的背景下，还没有研究系统地探讨多元文化政策与教育实践之间的联系。该项目在询问多元文化主义的目标和教育方案的性质方面为国家和社区带来了重大利益。其行动研究的知情方法将有助于在城市和农村环境中的不同社区制定创新的教与学方法。随之而来的教师素质的提高将改善文化和语言背景不同的所有学生的教育成果。

No study has systematically explored the links between multicultural policy and educational practice within the context of a thorough understanding of the cultural complexity of contemporary Australia and the conceptual framework of multicultural discourse. This project offers significant national and community benefits in its interrogation of the goals of multiculturalism and the nature of educational programs. Its informed approach to action research will assist in the development of innovative approaches to teaching and learning in diverse communities in urban and rural settings. The resultant enhancement of teacher quality will improve the educational outcomes of all students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
