Pluralism and Education: Its Meaning and MethodBy Joan T. England Source: England, Joan T. (1992). Pluralism and education: Its meaning and method. Ann Arbor, Michigan: ERIC Clearinghouse on Counseling and Personnel Services. [ED347494] ________________________________________________________ The time has come for pluralism. OVERVIEW The philosophy and ideology of pluralism is not new but one whose time has come for actualization. Education is providing experience for students, teachers, counselors and the community to nurture and practice pluralistic thought. The philosophy of pluralism is not restricted to the "purist" educational environment but is being extended to encompass teacher in-service training and community-based involvement and input. Teachers and the community at large are acquiring an awareness of pluralism through subtle methods of dialog and participation. Schools are expediting the implementation of pluralism through activities, workshops, courses, and small groups. These processes often fit under the name of multicultural issues and concerns; frequently the use of the term "pluralism" is avoided. Accurate definition may assist in the transition toward truly pluralistic thought. This is the first paragraph of the paper.
