An Analysis of the Cultural Position of Educational Reform in the Context of Multiculturalism Year of publication: 2019 Author: Xu Zusheng | Yang Zhaoshan Corporate author: Theory Monthly In the context of the multicultural era, education reforms based on the requirements of political and economic development and reform also need to pay attention to attitudes and tendencies toward different cultures. Upholding the main position of Chinese culture and properly handling relationships with Western cultures are the prerequisites for successful education reform. The cultural standpoint of China’s educational reform has undergone nearly a hundred years of historical evolution, and finally precipitated the cultural position of China’s educational reform: we must adhere to the cultural position of opening to the outside world, the cultural standpoint of Marxist guidance, and the cultural position of Chinese educational subjectivity. To establish the cultural standpoint of China’s educational reform, it is necessary to take “Ma Xue as the soul, middle school as the body and western learning as the method” as the correct path for the cultural position of China’s educational reform. 多元文化背景下教育改革的文化立场分析 Year of publication: 2019 Author: Xu Zusheng | Yang Zhaoshan Corporate author: Theory Monthly 在多元文化的时代背景下，基于政治经济发展变革要求的教育改革也需要关注对待不 同文化的态度和倾向性，秉持中国文化的主体立场处理好与西方文化的关系，是教育改革取得成 功的前提。我国教育改革的文化立场经历了近百年的历史演变，最终沉淀出中国教育改革的文 化立场：要坚持对外开放的文化立场、坚持马克思主义指导的文化立场、坚持中国教育主体性的 文化立场。确立中国教育改革的文化立场需要将“马学为魂、中学为体、西学为用”作为中国教育 改革文化立场选择的正确道路。

Fostering national and global citizenship: an example from South Africa (Social Studies and the Young Learner, vol 21, no. 1, september/october 2008) Year of publication: 2008 Author: Omiunota Nelly Ukpokodu Corporate author: National Council for the Social Studies Multicultural and global scholars urge that we prepare the young for national and global democratic citizenship given the increasing interdependence and challenging realities for today. Young people desire to be a part of the solution to global problems, but they must be educated about what those problems are and how solutions can be arrived at. As has been seen in the U.S. presidential campaign, young people care about their communities, country, and planet, and they are volunteering and voting at record rates. We must take responsibility to plant the seeds of critical citizenship if we are to foster a more sustainable, peaceful, just, and prosperous world. Educator Sheldon Berman sums it up by writing: It is important for teachers to tell young people about the success stories of others, students who have reclaimed forests, cleaned up rivers, improved their school environment, helped the homeless. They need to hear about the Mother Teresas and the Martin Luther Kings, of course, but also about the people who live down the street who are doing what they can to improve the neighbourhood and about the many organizations that make a difference in our communities. We must put students in touch with these people and organizations so that they can see how deeply people care about their world and how worthwhile it is to participate in creating change.
