Reflections of Multiculturalism to Vocational Education

Abstract

Culture shapes people’s minds, emotions and bodies, explaining how they think and perceive the world. With the increasing coexistence of different cultures today, the needs and expectations in the field of education have also begun to change. This change has also affected vocational education. Therefore, in the context of increasing globalization and cultural diversity, the effects of multiculturalism on vocational education are important. This research aims to examine the reflections of multiculturalism on vocational education. A field study was conducted within the scope of the determined keywords for this purpose. As a result of the research, it was revealed that educational policies and programs regarding the reflections of multiculturalism on vocational education should be updated. In this direction, it is seen that the most frequently experienced difficulty is the language barrier. The research suggests the establishment of language support programs and the development of projects supporting multiculturalism.
