Teacher Experiences of Culture in the Curriculum
Chan, Elaine
Journal of Curriculum Studies, v38 n2 p161-176 Apr 2006
This study examines the experiences of two middle-school teachers as they attempt to acknowledge the ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity of their students in their curriculum and teaching practices. It identifies the complications and challenges they encountered in the process. It presents one curriculum event to explore the ways in which diverse beliefs and values intersected as the teachers implemented the event. It employs a narrative inquiry approach with an emphasis on stories to learn about the experiences of the participants.
