1 like362 views
The document discusses a study that analyzed the presence of multiculturalism in K-12 general music textbooks. It describes the study's framework, research design, findings, and discussion. The findings section shows data on the representation of different racial/ethnic populations of students among music pieces in textbooks compared to the actual student populations in both the Madison, WI school district and nationwide. Overall, the study found textbooks included music from diverse cultures but not always in direct proportion to the racial diversity of students.
