5 DIMENSIONS OF MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
BANKS (1979)
o CONTENT INTEGRATION
o KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
o PREJUDICE REDUCTION
o EQUITY PEDAGOGY
o EMPOWERING SCHOOL CULTURES
14
Content Integration: Teachers use examples and content from a
variety of cultures and groups to illustrate key concepts,
generalizations and issues within their subject area or discipline.
Knowledge Construction Process: Teachers help students to
understand, investigate, and determine how the biases, frames of
reference, and perspectives within a discipline influence the ways in
which knowledge is constructed within it. Students also learn how to
build knowledge themselves in this dimension.
Prejudice reduction: Lessons and activities used by teachers to help
students develop positive and democratic racial attitudes.
Equity pedagogy: An equity pedagogy exists when teachers
modify their teaching in ways that will facilitate the
academic achievement of students from diverse racial,
cultural, socioeconomic, and language groups.
Empowering school culture. This dimension involves
restructuring the culture and organization of the school so
that students from diverse racial, ethnic, socioeconomic,
and language groups experience equality.

specialized tasks, they are essential to the division of labor which is essential
in any society which is becoming larger and more complex.

Culturally responsive teaching acknowledges cultural diversity in
classrooms and accommodates this diversity in instruction.
