TITLE: The Effects and Implications of Culturally
Pluralistic Education on the Mexican-American.

YEAR PUBLISHED: 1970
NOTE: 43 p.

ABSTRACT: Establishing that cultural diversity may be
nothing more than ecological adjustment and then examining
the literature and research related to culturally
pluralistic education, the author deals with Mexican
American children and children from other minority groups
in terms of growth and development (physical, mental,
academic, and sociocultural); language acquisition and
learning (theoretical linguistics, the nature of language,
language acquisition, language description, semantics,
syntax, phonology, contrastive linguistics,
psycholinguistics, language and cognition,
sociolinguistics, multilingual societies, multilingual
individuals); bilingual programs and methodology; and tests
and measurements. The author recommends 3 areas for basic
research: (1) life-style studies, (2) sociopsychological
studies, and (3) educational studies. In addition, it is
suggested that a new start for the education of
multicultural children utilize an organizational systems
approach. One figure and a 74-item bibliography are
included. (MJB)
