Addressing Cultural Motivation in Global Education and Training

ABSTRACT

This paper examines learner motivation in the context of culturally responsive teaching models in global education. Analysis of current multicultural education research, including Dr. Minjuan Wang’s 2015 study of the cultural implications on global education, provided insight into the factors that impact culturally sensitive and relevant curriculum design. This analysis identified a need for a multicultural toolkit to address the rapidly evolving global marketplace.
