Should Indigenous children learn the same things in the same way as everyone else?

Talking about curriculum, and learning in general. Should they be taught the same things and taught in the same way? I have an assignment to do and need some ideas.

    Learning occurs best when it is divided into two parts: theory and application. Theory is just that: the ideas related to what you are trying to teach. Application is how the theory is used in real life. Teaching application of the theory is what motivates learning. Knowing that an idea is useful to us motivates us to understand the idea.

    When teaching children from other cultures, the theory can be taught as you would teach someone from your own culture. The application, however, should be taught in such a way that the children understand how the theory applies to their daily life and why it is useful to them.

    Are you talking about indigent children referring to poverrty? There is no one way that all children learn. There are many different ways which is why a good teacher presents curriculum in a variety of ways. As far as indigent children, they, at times, need to know why something is important if they are going to learn it.

    Indigenous means from the part of the world that you are teaching.

    They need to learn the same things as everyone else and their not stupid. Only bigoted educators would hand out such an assignment.

    try to merge traditional methods with things native to their culture and i think that might bridge the gap. for example find similarities between things that are normal to them and things native to us and compare contrast and expound. i hope i helped.
