IMPROVING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE USING

MULTICULTURAL TEXTS (Rouse, 2018)

The purpose of this research is to investigate how students in a third-grade classroom engage
in multicultural texts when reading about cultures other than their own. Furthermore, it
investigates on how the use of multicultural texts impacts their understanding and acceptance
of diverse cultures. The strategies used for this qualitative research study were questionnaires,
observations, accountable talk discussions, artifact analysis and interviews. Throughout the
six-week study, students read and engaged in discussions after reading two multicultural texts.
They participated in activities expressing their thoughts and beliefs related to the content read
in class. After discussing and analyzing the texts, students were able to identify possible
solutions to help people become more aware and accepting of diverse cultures. They also
become more engaged in productive dialog with their peers while analyzing and responding to
complex texts. Furthermore, students felt safe and comfortable asking questions about culture
and diversity. They were eager to express their thoughts, interacted with their peers positively
and made connections to the multicultural texts showing their enthusiasm as they learned
about different cultures.
