Now available in paperback, the sixth edition of this definitive
text provides students a strong background in the conceptual,
theoretical, and philosophical issues in multicultural education
from a leading authority and scholarly leader of the field---James
A. Banks. In the opening chapter author Banks presents his
well-known and widely used concept of Dimensions of Multicultural
Education to help build an understanding of how the various
components of multicultural education are interrelated. He then
provides an overview on preparing students to function as effective
citizens in a global world; discusses the dimensions, history, and
goals of multicultural education; presents the conceptual,
philosophical, and research issues related to education and
diversity; examines the issues involved in curriculum and teaching;
looks at gender equity, disability, giftedness, and language
diversity; and focuses on intergroup relations and principles for
teaching and learning. This new edition incorporates new concepts,
theories, research, and developments in the field of multicultural
education and features: A new Chapter 5, "Increasing Student
Academic Achievement: Paradigms and Explanations" provides
important explanations for the achievement gap and suggests ways
that educators can work to close it. A new Chapter 7, "Researching
Race, Culture, and Difference," explains the unique characteristics
of multicultural research and how it differs from mainstream
research in education and social science. A new Chapter 14,
"Principles for Teaching and Learning in a Multicultural Society"
contains research-based guidelines for reforming teaching and the
school in order to increase the academic achievement and social
development of students from diverse racial, ethnic, cultural,
language, and gender groups. A new Appendix-"Essential Principles
Checklist"-designed to help educators determine the extent to which
practices within their schools, colleges, and universities are
consistent with the research-based findings described in the book.
