WERNECK, Vera Rudge. Uma avaliação sobre a relação multiculturalismo e educação. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2008, vol.16, n.60, pp.413-436. ISSN 0104-4036.

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the relationship between multiculturalism and education. Initially, general considerations are made on the subject matter and, subsequently, an analysis is made of the concepts of identity and culture, which are indispensable categories for the comprehension of the concept of multiculturalism. The article goes on to conceptualize education as the procedure that causes the learner to recognize, learn and classify values in a hierarchical manner, according to learner's own method, in such a way as to enable the individual to ascertain his position in the world as a person and personality. Understanding evaluation as the analysis of the worth of something in relation to another determined point of reference and it is based on the philosophical standpoint of the Theory of Values developed by Max Scheler (1955) and Yvan Gobry (1975). From the sociological standpoint, it is based on the ideas of Tomás Tadeu da Silva (1994) (2005). The article closes with an assessment of the education requirements with regard to multiculturalism and defends the need to establish points of reference to enable an evaluation of this relationship.
