Cultural Diversity and Learning: A Comparison Study of Chinese and Canadian Curriculums

The purpose of this project is to compare the cultural diversity in both Canada and China. It will also investigate how each country’s social studies curriculum approaches the subject of cultural diversity in the classroom. Additionally, the project will also look at how the students view cultures in both Canada and China. The project will observe students in Chinese classrooms during social studies classes to get their view on diversity. The information for these classes will be compared to their counterparts in Canada. The outcomes of this project will shed a light how students view their cultural identity and what effects does the curriculum from both countries have on this point of view.
