Multicultural education is an approach to teaching and
learning that seeks to empower individuals so that they
may function in a diverse, global society. To prepare
students for the 21st century, however, community
colleges must expand traditional definitions of diversity
to include age, religion, culture, sexual orientation,
physical or mental disability, economic status, language
differences, and most significantly, individual learning
styles. Not all courses lend themselves readily to
incorporating multicultural content, but all courses can
be adapted to fit a multicultural climate with very
little research by the instructor. Instructors should
provide a comprehensive syllabus that chooses texts and
learning materials that reflect diversity, recognizes
alternatives in learning styles, identifies multiple
evaluation measures, and identifies student support
services. Examples of curricular experiences that
incorporate a multicultural approach include: (1) a
composition course anthology with works from culturally
diverse authors; (2) assigning/inviting students to join
diverse study groups; (3) a biology course restructured
to include cooperative learning modules; (4) joining a
visually impaired student with a sighted student as a
learning team to keep a log of experiences; and (5)
assigning students to prepare a report on the
contributions of a non-Euro-American male to the
development of a chemical principle or process. (A
glossary of terms and a perceptual learning style
inventory are appended.) (Contains 28 references.) (KP)
