Bridging Cultures and Disciplines

Integrating Traditional Knowledge into Contemporary Education

Abstract

This research paper examines the various ways and methods by which traditional knowledge may be integrated into the existing education systems for the purpose of being more culturally sensitive and inclusive, as well as being more global in nature. The research focuses on different situations where this model has been put into practice, discusses the problems encountered, and recommends ways of doing it more effectively. Ultimately, this paper calls for educational systems that respect and conserve traditional knowledge and consequently improve the relevance of the learning approaches to different students.
