The province of Ontario continues to be the destination of more than 50 percent of all immigrants to Canada (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2009). With a large visible minority population, as well as linguistic and faith-based diversity, there is increasing pressure on the education system to ensure that all students have the opportunity to thrive academically and develop personally (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2009; Canadian School Boards Association, 2007; Muj & Hamdan, 2013). This study uses classical content analysis to test the 1997 and 2006 versions of the Ontario language curriculum for Grades 3 and 6 against the James Banks’ model for ensuring racial, ethnic and cultural diversity is reflected in school programs. This model is essential for assessing the degree to which the curriculum document itself reflects the priorities set-out by the Ministry of Education in Ontario, and whether these priorities align with the principles of multicultural education.

The conclusion of this dissertation is that Living Value Education for children is based on The Quran, namely the education of the values of life in the form of religious, nationalist, integrity,  independence,  tolerance,  and mutual cooperation which are the actualization of the maqâshid al-Qur'an. namely personal benefit        common benefit  and benefit to build a community. These values must be taught to become personalities to students which are based on the child's psychological development, namely at the basic level, because in this level they have a high enough egocentricity and tend not to have the will to see many things from the perspective of others. This LVE is integrated through the intracurricular, co- curricular and extracurricular learning processes in educational institutions. The concept of LVE in the al-Qur'an for children is to make value education with the principle of not burdening  giving light burdens (and instilling responsibility with the principle of gradual/gradual. Living Value Education for children is found as life value education that starts from the time the child is in the womb to the age of puberty. This is based on the terms of the Quran related to children, namely: 1. Walad  shows the child who is born, whether there is a nasab connection or not and the term walad does not limit whether they are still small or already large; 2. Ibn (which means boy or bint is a girl. This term is taken from the root word banau (the plural form is abnâأ). The mention in Arabic, it is possible that a child is a building for their parents. Parents as figures to build it. Allah made the parents as the builders of the building to create independent offspring; 3. Tifl  a newborn child, the word thiflu means a child who still needs guidance and nurture; 4. Gulam  shows a child who is entering puberty. From these four terms, it can be concluded that children from birth to puberty need education and build them so that they are stable and independent. So the basic education degree is the right level to strengthen the basics of Living Value Education. This writing supports the opinion of al-Ghazâly and Abdullah Nâsih 'Ulwan about education starting from womb, Thomas Lickona about the necessity to instill moral values and character that can be taught in schools, even schools have the authority to train values, morals and character. This dissertation also supports the opinion of David Hume, about values that oppose the concept of Decrates' Rationality, which justifies values and morality based on reason alone. This dissertation also supports the opinion of Darwis Hude and Doni Koesoema about human potential which is not limited to intelligence, but there are several other intelligences that need to be developed in a balanced manner and evaluation of assessments is not only focused on cognitive ones.This dissertation also supports the opinions of Ibn Kathir, Muhamad Qutbh, Nasaruddin Umar, and Nur Arfiyah Febriani about gender, namely that a mother is allowed to have activities outside the home with several conditions. On the other hand, this dissertation is different from Thomas Aquinas' concept of value, which considers good and bad values not by his will but only tools of God's behavior, the concept of values and the concept of Living Value Education (LVE) Diana Tillman, Rani Anggraini Dewi, and ALIVE (Association For Living Value Education) International. They only limit Living Value Education to twelve values, namely: peace, appreciation, love, responsibility, happiness, cooperation, honesty, humility, tolerance, simplicity, freedom, and unity. This dissertation is also different from Thomas Lickona's opinion which limits moral values with respect and responsibility. This dissertation is also different from the opinion of al-Qurthuby and As-Suyuthy who refuse women to engage in public activities.The method used by the author in this study used a qualitative method, based on library research (library research) using a transcendental phenomonology approach. Meanwhile, the method of interpretation used is the thematic method (tafsir maudhu'i) both when analyzing problems and when using the verses of the Qur'an.

From the first days of the Euromaidan protests, Ukrainian diasporas around the globe took an active part in supporting democratic change in Ukraine. These diasporic communities actively used social media to “represent” their national identity, to promote their visions of Ukraine’s past and future, and to network and coordinate their actions. This paper argues that the events of the Euromaidan made Ukrainian diasporas in Western countries “re-invent” and “re-imagine” their national belonging. In these processes historical memory, language, and regional identifications play a crucial part within the continuum between conservative ethnonationalist identities and “civic” ones that try to accommodate the ethnic and linguistic diversity of Ukraine in the diasporic setting. This study reveals that “civic” identity elements became more visible across Ukrainian diasporas, but that Russian aggression somewhat haltered the acceptance of diversity and reinforced previously existing conservative sentiments.

AbstractArticle deals with the problem of multicultural education. Ukraine, being a multicultural society, requires a new conception of the world, aimed at integrating cultures and nations, their further convergence as well as cultural enrichment. In this context the experience of many foreign countries, especially the USA, is very interesting. This country differs from average multicultural nations in a range of peculiarities, one of which is the fact that cultural interaction was not within an individual ethnos, but within immigrants–descendants of different countries, representatives of various cultures. It is underlined that the USA is the country that underwent durable trials in search for the most optimum ways to provide cultural interaction. The most modern response to the cultural diversity at the end of the 20th century in the USA became the policy of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is considered to be a democratic policy of solving the problem of cultural and social diversity in the society, which includes educational, linguistic, economic and social components and has specific mechanisms of embodiment.The interpretation of multicultural education is proposed as that one, which facilitates the formation in a person of the readiness for activities in a modern socio-cultural environment, preservation of personal identity, aspiration for respect and understanding of other cultural and ethnical communities, the ability to live in peace and harmony with representatives of various racial, ethnic, cultural, religious groups.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize physical activity (PA) environments in Georgia public elementary schools and to identify socioeconomic status (SES) and racial/ethnic disparities in PA environments. Design: A school setting PA survey was launched in 2013 to 2014 as a cross-sectional online survey assessing PA environment factors, including facility access and school PA practices, staff PA opportunities, parental involvement in school PA, and out-of-school PA opportunities. Setting: All 1333 Georgia public elementary schools were recruited. Participants: A total of 1083 schools (81.2%) responded. Survey respondents included school administrators, physical education (PE) teachers, and grade-level chairs. Measures: Physical activity environment factors were assessed via an online questionnaire adapted from school PA surveys and articles. Analysis: The chi-square and Fisher exact analyses were conducted to examine the reporting of PA environment factors overall and by school SES, as measured by free/reduced lunch rate, and/or racial/ethnic composition. Results: Overall, many PA environment factors were widely prevalent (ie, gym [99%] or field [79%] access), although some factors such as some PA-related programs (ie, a structured walk/bike program [11%]) were less widely reported. Disparities in school PA environment factors were largely patterned by SES, though they varied for some factors by racial/ethnic composition and across SES within racial/ethnic composition categories. For example, lower SES schools were less likely to report access to blacktops and tracks ( p-value < .0001), and higher SES schools were less likely to report access to playgrounds ( p-value = .0076). Lower SES schools were also less likely to report “always/often” giving access to PE/PA equipment during recess ( p-value < .01). Lower SES and majority nonwhite schools were less likely to report having joint use agreements with community agencies ( p-value < .0001). Conclusion: This study highlights SES and racial/ethnic disparities in PA environments in Georgia public elementary schools.
