ethnocentrism in education  

Definición

  • Ethnocentrism in education occurs when the curriculum, teaching methods, and educational strategies present the history and knowledge base of a nation from a monocultural Western European perspective that ignores the presence and/or contributions of other groups in society. For example, racial/ethnic minorities are often absent in the educational literature, and/or members of these groups are portrayed in stereotypical and negative ways.
