Abstract Details

2004, EdD, University of Cincinnati, Education : Literacy.
This research is an ethnographic study of a small group of students and their instructor during one quarter of a course on Human Diversity which is a required course for future teachers. The rationale for this study was to describe the course and how the participants coped with the various issues and events that were part of it, and, furthermore, to position that description within the broader context of historical trends in culture theory in anthropology and historical and political trends in multicultural education and diversity training. Theoretically, the study was based on the cognitive anthropological notions of Claudia Strauss and Naomi Quinn (1994) and, indirectly, The Theory of Practice as provided by Pierre Bourdieu (1977). These theoretical models served to provide a plausible explanation to the events and issues described in the research and, when considered in connection with the history of culture theory in anthropology and the history of multicultural education and diversity training, provided insight into not only what the participants dealt with throughout the duration of this course, but how, based on the issues of culture theory and history, multicultural education and diversity training as part of teacher education can be improved.
