We uphold our cultural identity so highly as Africans and we are happy to share that with our learners right from Pre-school to grade 9.

Researchers and education theorists have been trying to understand the relationship between learning and the social world. It has been challenging research to integrate cultural identity into learning. Identity formation is a long complicated process and is gradually developed in social surroundings. The cultural backgrounds of learners are significant because ethnic, racial, linguistic, social, religious, learning, or economic differences can cause cultural disconnection leading to corruption of motivation to learning. But with us it is so cool using this to help improve, learning here at Jane Montessori.

“Cultural identities are the distinct identities of people or groups in cultural or subcultural categories and social groups. Categories that make up cultural identities include sexuality, gender, religion, ethnicity, social class, or region. We are often born into our cultural identities..”

On the other hand, education inevitably brings shifts, however, learners’ cultural identity plays a significant role in the transmission of such values. The purpose of this study is to describe the relationship between learning and cultural identity. This research was done in a deductive approach which is a qualitative study and it is descriptive and exploratory. The available research on learning at schools and cultural identity supports positive correlations between the two as it draws on approaches that utilize learners’ social and cultural experiences. Researchers have investigated successful learners and found valuable insights into cultural identity. Teachers should be aware of the cultural identities of the students and should be able to designate their learning characteristics and motivation to enhance their learning achievement.
