ABSTRACT

Against the background of deepening globalization, multicultural backgrounds have become the norm in many countries and regions, and children's education faces new challenges and opportunities. This paper examines the impact of multicultural contexts on children's education, proposes a series of educational strategies to cope with multicultural contexts, and evaluates the practical effects of these strategies. First, the paper analyzes the impact of cultural diversity on children's cognitive development, family education and school education. Then, the paper describes several major multicultural education strategies, including culturally sensitive education, differentiated teaching methods, and the implementation of home-school cooperation. Finally, the actual effects of these educational strategies were comprehensively assessed through a combination of quantitative assessment and qualitative research. The study shows that culturally sensitive education, differentiated teaching methods and home-school cooperation have significant advantages in improving children's educational outcomes and provide useful guidance for children's education in a multicultural context.
