The use of role models and constant examples of diverse career opportunities, especially featuring individuals whose gender or ethnic background is typically under represented in the field should be encouraged. In many aspects of science education, various viewpoints from history, mathematics, literature and art can be intertwined to create a broad scope of science's role in society. This presents and excellent way to promote the achievements of scientists from different backgrounds. The goal of multicultural education is to offer students an equal opportunity to learn and see the possibilities awaiting them in life. There are equally many opportunities for science teachers and science education leaders to open a new world to students.
Science is the perfect field in which to explore diversity.
Integrating multiculturalism into the science curriculum begins with what is called the additive process. Teachers help students to understand how knowledge is constructed. This process reflects the procedures by which various scientists create knowledge in their disciplines. The curriculum should help students to see the connection between their local and global environments and think conscientiously and critically about their roles in these relationships. Teachers should encourage students to be active learners.
