‘Multi-perspectivity’ as a Principle of Intercultural History Learning

In a multi-eultural society it is important to have the ‘understanding of others’ accompanied with the self-reflection which goes beyond the simple understanding of the other αltures. The purpose of this article is to seek the possibility to the understanding of others in ‘inter-cultural education’ and to demonstrate that the ‘multi-perspectivity’ as a principle of history learning provides an appropriate methode. The goal of inter-eultural education is to attend on cultural ‘difference’ and then understanding it thrugh ‘perspective taking'. The history learning should be focused on the multi-perspectivity of history, as far as the purpose of history education lays in acquiring the capability to understanding of others. At such history classes, the students would confront themselves with historical documents with different points of view and directions. They are expeαed to experience the following three forms of multi-perspectivity: from the ‘perception’ of the related, the ‘interpretation’ to historical facts , and the ‘self-orientation’ of learners. To sum up, multi-perspectivity is the key for learning how to understand others in a multi-eultural society. This ability will surely be the basis for a stabler acquirement of identity and establishment of social integrity.
