The debate about languages of instruction in Africa and Asia
involves an analysis of both the historical thrust of national
government and also development aid policies. Using case studies
from Tanzania, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, India, Bangladesh and
Malaysia, Zehlia Babaci-Wilhite argues that the colonial legacy is
perpetuated when global languages are promoted in education. The
use of local languages in instruction not only offers an effective
means to contextualize the curriculum and improve student
comprehension, but also to achieve quality education and rights in
education.
This book argues that integrating artistic contributions - with an
emphasis on culture and language - can make Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects more accessible, and
therefore promote creativity and innovation in teaching and
learning at all levels of education. It provides tools and
strategies for managing interdisciplinary learning and teaching
based on successful collaborations between researchers,
practitioners and artists in the fields of the Arts and STEM
subjects. Based on contributions by educators, scientists,
scholars, linguists and artists from around the globe, the book
highlights how we can demonstrate teamwork and collaboration for
innovation and creativity in STEAM subjects in the classroom and
beyond. The book reflects the core of human rights education, using
local languages and local knowledge through art as a tool for
teaching human rights at school, and bringing to light questions on
diversity, ecology, climate change, environmental issues, health
and the future of human beings, as well as power relations between
non-dominant (minorities) and dominant (the majority) groups in
society.
Featuring contributed chapters written by experts within the field,
Learning Critical Thinking Skills Beyond the 21st Century for
Multidisciplinary Courses: A Human Rights Perspective in Education
provides readers with various perspectives regarding the
intersection of education, human rights, and critical thinking. The
text integrates strategies and best practices that support
equitable education, elevate human rights, and pave the way for a
better future. The text is divided into four modules. In Module 1,
readers learn about the history and evolution of human rights, how
students can integrate language arts and human rights into
STEM/STEAM subjects, and how critical teaching and social justice
teaching can increase students' involvement and understanding.
Module 2 features scholarship on leadership and inclusion in
cross-cultural and multidisciplinary critical thinking, field
theory as a means to analyze the social world critically, and the
need across the disciplines for high-quality critical thinking. In
Module 3, chapters speak to the critical nature of cultural
learning and individual life experience in the quest for
sustainability, the dynamics of cultural encounters, the
correlation between art and mathematics from an instructional
aspect, and how digital storytelling can foster greater academic
literacy. The final module features chapters on humanistic
literacy, strategies to enhance global literacy, and critical and
cultural literacy.
