A Descriptive Study of Multicultural Education in İncirlik Schools
Keywords:
education, İncirlik schools, Aristotle, cultural diversity, curriculumAbstract
This article examines multicultural education practices at İncirlik schools in Adana, focusing on both early childhood and secondary education. Drawing on Aristotle’s theory of similarity and attraction, it argues that educational models aim to foster tolerance, cultural awareness, and critical thinking. The study highlights differences in institutional structure, noting limited diversity at the Child Development Center and broader representation at the high school level. It demonstrates both the challenges and the potential of multicultural education in diverse social contexts.
