Abstract
This paper provides some suggestions for improving the practice of future teachers and kindergarten teachers for working in a multicultural environment from two aspects. One of these is in the frame of learning contents, and the second in terms of teaching strategies as a form of learning. This idea is a product of two situations. The first is related to a well-known fact that there is a gap between theory and practice. It is not uncommon to hear teachers and researchers bemoan the perceived problems associated with the theory-practice gap. From a research perspective there is a view that the complex and messy world of teaching can-not adequately be theorized by the teachers who are busy working in that world whilst, from a teacher’s perspective, there is a view that theory is not necessarily helpful in responding to the need for ideas and activities that will “work in class tomorrow”. Teacher-researchers bring to bear their expert knowledge and understanding of practice in research as they attempt to better understand their practice and its impact on their students. The second situation refers to the existing curricula. Namely, the analysis of curricula for teachers and kindergarten teachers shows that they offer a solid theoretical knowledge as a base to develop practical skills. But, this is not enough from the perspective of the multicultural environment so the suggestions in this paper are challenges in the practicum of future teachers and kindergarten teachers.
