Building a Future Education Model: the Cultural and Ideological Integration of Educational Theory, Management and Digital Technology

Abstract

Curriculum design goes beyond just subject content and involves comprehensive approach where various courses are interwoven to achieve the broader educational goal of cultivating well-rounded individuals with strong moral values based on ideological integration of educational theory, management and digital technology. Our mixed methods study explored the potential for integrating cultural considerations into educational practices at Tianxiang Teacher Education Institution (TTEI). The findings highlight a strong desire from educators to celebrate student diversity through Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP). However, challenges exist in implementing CRP effectively. Interviews revealed educators struggle with a lack of culturally diverse learning materials and limited support for developing CRP curriculum units. Also, document analysis revealed a policy emphasis on diversity and intercultural understanding, but it lacked clear guidelines for implementing CRP. The curriculum framework included some references to cultural diversity but lacked practical examples or activities for teachers. In conclusion, there is need of equipping teachers with culturally diverse resources, professional development opportunities on CRP strategies, and guidance on integrating technology effectively are crucial steps towards creating inclusive learning environments that celebrate the rich diversity of student backgrounds.
