From Theory to Practice: Ogbu and Erickson in the Multicultural Education Curriculum.
Nel, Johanna
Action in Teacher Education, v17 n1 p60-69 Spr 1995
The paper examines the implications of two different theoretical approaches for teacher education (Erickson's cultural differences theory and Ogbu's secondary cultural discontinuity theory), suggesting a multicultural education curriculum that incorporates a composite of both theories in order to assist future teachers in combatting the problem of minority underachievement.
