MULTICULTURALISM IN CLASSROOM 1
There is a very significant link among the education and cultures as the philosophy of
the students and teachers disturb the procedure of teaching in a classroom. Culture is
something that includes each and everything that helps in building a community or a society
different from the language, literature, food, religion, and values that builds a particular group
of lifestyle. The multiculturalism education includes various theories and practices that help
in supporting the equal chances and the theoretical attainment for all the students. Hence it
can be said that multiculturalism classroom has various issues in the process of learning and
teaching because around are various cultures in the classroom. The culture, schooling, and
education are in the self-governing methods of learning and instruction programs. For
instance the populace of the United States is calm of various people from much multicultural
background and it also includes more diversity of traditions, beliefs, and values and hence
there is a connection among multiculturalism and the education process by the teaching and
the learning methods and approaches. This essay will focus on the role of the teacher and
strategies that could be used in supporting teaching, learning and relationships with children
and families in multicultural settings (Barker, & Mak, 2013).
Funds of knowledge focuses on the following things, The interests and sources of
children are very varied and different. During the early childhood settings the focus on the
interest of the children helps the children and also helps them and the teachers to discover the
ideas in impulsive and deliberate manner. The engagement of the teachers with the learners
aids in motivation, memory, effort, and attention. The role that a pedagogical relationship
plays in calculating the quality of children’s helps in building strength among the children.
However, studies have also found that the notion of teaching by play is never comfortable as
much as learning through play.
There are provisions of many resources and spaces which if organized well helps in
promoting good and helpful learning experience and is the focus of child-cantered learning

and the teaching environment. There are certain aspects of these pedagogical aspects which
include the way teachers identify and interpret the interests of the children and various
ascertain ways through which play can represent the interest of the children and then
investigate it. It is also seen that the children learn from various ranges of experience that
they are exposed to during various situations around them. Most of the things that change the
learning of the children are informal learning which is particularly based on community and
family situations.
In the specialized literature it is always advised to educators of decent exercise and
mainly to the impulsive interest of the children that rise during their play. Play is something
that is dominant in relation to early childhood education. However, this thing has depressed
the teachers from more and more logical understanding of the interests of the children.
The term children's attention might just be seen as a simple under-theorized
catchphrase. During extensive research was done using the database of two universities it was
revealed about the little academic literature about the curriculum built on the interest of the
children. Moving ahead some of the studies shed light indirectly in the interest of the
children, few of the studies have also focused on investigating the nature of the interest of
children directly which consists of the relevant studies. All of the studies define that the
interest of the children is related to the objects, activities in the environment of play. Moving
ahead it is also defined that the word or term children's interest can also be known as
children's impulsiveness, self-motivation play, inquiry or investigation that derive from the
children’s cultural as well as the social situations and experiences. However it is also seen
that the notion of curriculum emerges from children’s interest a d also from a perspective
based on the play. And it also invites a low level of interpretation. Therefore this journal says
that it is important to beyond the learning based on play to understand the interest of the
children in conducts reliable on the theoretical viewpoints of the cultural and social nature of

learning, and the informal nature of many of the ordinary involvements that children freely
and actively engage in hedges, & Jordan, 2011).
There are various researches and studies which stated that life experience is one of the best
ways for teaching the students. It helps the students to learn ideas of respect, identity,
relatedness and education. The teachers should also use the indigenous models for edacting
the early childhood as it is considered to be one of the most highly desirable policy by the
students (Townsend-Cross, 2004).
It is important to have a culturally appropriate education in the global world and it is
important to have respect for the different views of the people. The teachers should have
more focus in the diversity related teaching practices and for a Successful educational
improvement and pedagogy require that teachers become culturally and neuroscientifically
literate (Zhou, & Fischer, 2013).
