Designing Culturally Sensitive Curriculum Materials for Canadian Schools. Indian-Metis.
Sealey, D. Bruce
The Indian-Metis project to develop a multi-media kit of social studies curriculum materials is based upon an integrated anthropological framework. All kinds of materials and theoretical positions are brought together and bear upon the education of children in the age range of eleven to thirteen. This project, amid negative reactions of teachers to the development of yet another study kit on Indians, offers a teaching approach which gives the affective domain of learning an equal role with the cognitive domain. Designed to lead children into investigating native cultures of Western Canada through materials relating to history, geography, archaeology, language, arts and crafts, music, food, economics and mathematics, this program has as its goal the development of cultural sensitivity.
