What is Cultural identity

Chapter 4
Handbook of Research on Promoting Cross-Cultural Competence and Social Justice in Teacher Education
Cultural identity or identities is a complex construct to define insofar as the notion of human identity is shaped by several interconnected facets of life that are not always distinct, nor static. For the purposes of this study, however, cultural identity falls under the umbrella of general communities of practice among the selected international school educators teaching in IB programs. Cultural understanding and appreciation for the cultural diversity that exists across nations and the multiplicity of worldviews that results from it is essential to developing international-mindedness ( Hill, 2012 ).

DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-0897-7.ch004
Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce a research study based on the Cultural Self-Study method and to describe the application of this method with teachers. A specific example from the empirical study of Canadian expatriate teachers is used to illustrate how the tool and its application look in real life, and what data are generated by the use of this tool. The Integral Model is described as a useful framework for analysis of these types of data, and the analysis is illustrated using examples from this empirical study. Based on this experience with the use of Cultural Self-Study, the authors provide recommendations for the use of self-study in pre-service teacher training.
