The goals of the study are to understand the students? lived experiences and their learning outcomes in the following ways. (1) Students' awareness of their own cultural backgrounds and its impact on their teaching methods. (2) Students' views of multiculturalism in its various forms. (3) Students' awareness of the political aspect of education and how it may impact their teaching. (4) Students' views of what it means to be a critically reflective teacher.
