Abstract
Culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) is developed based on cultural knowledge and experiences of multiethnic students, with their references and performance in learning. In this research, a module was developed to suit a CRP in the teaching and learning of visual arts education (VAE) to upper secondary school students. The research utilizes the design and develop method as suggested by Richey and Klein in 2007, focusing on the processes of developing a module appropriate in the teaching of VAE at the upper secondary level. This chapter discusses the needs analysis that was carried out to identify students’ level of knowledge and learning experiences in VAE and on culturally responsive education. The respondents consisted of 184 upper secondary students of Malay, Indian, and Chinese ethnicity. Results show positive responses from students and their strong optimistic perceptions towards CRP in traditional art and crafts for secondary school VAE. Therefore, results obtained proved that there is a need to develop a teaching module that is culturally responsive in the teaching and learning of traditional arts and crafts for secondary school VAE.
