"Using Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy to think about how to design courses and develop curricula for indigenous education, this study examines the teaching and learning processes concerning indigenous cultural knowledge in a multicultural communication class. Through class observations and in-depth interviews in 2020 at National Dong Hwa University, we try to find the significant educational issues and multi-cultural learning systems which are related to the development of culturally sustaining systems and mainstreaming ethnicity. Based on the spirit of multi-cultural thinking and open dialogue between students and teachers, we emphasize learning from the perspective of indigenous peoples and form a support system which can transmit indigenous cultures through both formal education and traditional learning systems. Then we invite scholars and indigenous elders to discuss the course design and plan the curricula and teaching activities together. We integrate our disciplines by combining courses and forming related teaching issues which are not limited by the current disciplinary classifications. Working together with the tribe and the university, we shorten the distance between the traditional cultural transmission system and formal school education. Indigenous cultural powers are revitalized and the functions of university education are strengthened during the processes of teaching and learning. Step by step, we set up a culturally sustaining system that combines indigenous and university resources. By carrying on the traits of indigenous cultures holistically and through life-long learning, we try to fulfill the ideals of mainstreaming ethnicity in higher education." |
