dc.description.abstract | A critical ethnographic methodology based on constructive epistemological assumptions was used to investigate the perspectives of five Taiwanese teachers from different ethnic/language groups. Interview data were further sustained by an observation and a survey. The findings suggest that: (1) unexamined connections exist between social domination, education, and self-determination, and (2) these conditions influence teachers' abilities and willingness to promote self-determination among themselves and their students. In light of these findings, I recommend a multicultural educational approach that promotes: (1) critical consciousness of the destructive relationships between domination, self-determination, and education, and (2) critical pedagogical action that supports the promotion of multicultural appreciation, negotiated autonomy, and meaningful intragroup and intergroup interaction. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | This study explores Taiwanese teachers' perspectives on existing relationships between domination, education, and self-determination, and it considers implications for autonomous identity development in and through education in general. The findings were interpreted through a lens of critical multicultural education, which holds that critical consciousness is essential to the development of autonomously negotiated human identity. Although the study was located in Taiwan, the investigation addressed a widespread historical phenomenon with implications for educators throughout a variety of international social and political settings. | en_US |
