Definitions of Multiculturalism
According to Akcaoğlu and Arsal (2022), multiculturalism is defined in two ways:
1. The Coexistence Definition: Multiculturalism involves the coexistence of diverse
cultures, where cultural differences are acknowledged, respected, and valued within a
society.
2. The Educational Approach Definition: It refers to an educational approach aimed at
incorporating the cultural perspectives, texts, values, beliefs, and histories of diverse
cultural groups into the curriculum and educational practices.
