TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Does the way we teach create behavior disorders in culturally different students? JO - Education and treatment of children A1 - McIntyre, Tom SP - 354 EP - 370 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - Youngsters from non-mainstream cultural groups often possess cognitive styles that differ from those promoted in the schools. This mismatch can lead to misunderstandings, and culturally inappropriate interaction, assessment, instruction, or discipline. These pupils may end up in special education programs, either because of mislabeling or because educators have "created" a learning disability or emotional and/or behavioral disorder. How this phenomenon occurs and how it can be prevented is addressed.
