Abstract

The lack of research references in the approach of a culturally responsive pedagogy in arts education at the global and local level has paved the way for the need to conduct a more comprehensive study in the field. Malakolunthu (2011) is of the opinion that to successfully implement and achieve the aims of an effective multicultural education, emphasis should be placed on several critical actions. It is evident that there is a need to introduce a multicultural responsive pedagogical approach system that provides more room to the element of knowledge and awareness of the diversity of culture to assist teachers in the matter. The research examines the experience of using culturally responsive pedagogy in Visual Art Education. From the survey, results indicated that the module has high potential to be incorporated into the current curriculum as it is a new pedagogical approach that is responsive to multicultural education.
