Abstract
Multi-cultural curriculum is an effective mechanism in empowering people and groups in terms of knowledge, attitude and skill for peaceful coexistence in a multi-cultural society. In this regard, the aim of the current study is analyzing the degree of attention paid to multi-cultural lesson planning and curriculum development in Iran’s educational system. To this aim, a sample composed of 70 faculty members was selected from among those professors who were involved in the field of lesson planning and curriculum development in different universities all over Iran. To move in line with the research objectives, a questionnaire was developed by the researcher and its validity and reliability were attested. Research findings reveal that though several theoretical studies and attempts have been implemented in recent years (mostly in the form of articles and theses), little change, if any, has been effectuated in practice. As a result, very scant and unsatisfactory heed seems to have been given to multi-cultural lesson planning and curriculum development in our educational system. After all, it is really essential to develop such programs in order to make students familiar with life skills in Iran’s pluralistic and multi-cultural context.
