To introduce athletic training educators and practicing professionals to the pedagogic concept and professional benefits that multicultural education, awareness, and training might provide if implemented in athletic training education.
I reviewed textbook chapters and articles used in the course of my doctoral studies and searched the archives of Diversity Digest and Academic Medicine for the years 1998 to 2002 with the key words multiculturalism, diversity, cultural competence, education, and learning. I obtained additional information by cross-referencing pertinent articles.
I present a rational argument for the inclusion of a critical pedagogy into the field of athletic training education. I outline the infrastructure in the professional field of athletic training, review some of the literature on critical multicultural theory and pedagogy, and examine some of the potential cognitive and intellectual implications of diversity and multicultural education.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS: Future work in this area should focus on various and creative strategies for implementing a multicultural agenda in athletic training curricula and on the analysis of the associated benefits and outcomes of such educational strategies.
向运动训练教育工作者和实践专业人员介绍多元文化教育、意识和培训，如果在运动训练教育中实施，可能提供的教学理念和专业益处。
我回顾了博士学习过程中使用的教科书章节和文章，并在 1998 年至 2002 年期间使用多元文化主义、多样性、文化能力、教育和学习等关键词搜索了多样性文摘和学术医学的档案。我通过交叉引用相关文章获得了其他信息。
我提出了将批判性教学纳入运动训练教育领域的合理论据。我概述了运动训练专业领域的基础设施，回顾了一些关于批判性多元文化理论和教学的文献，并考察了多样性和多元文化教育的一些潜在认知和智力影响。
结论/建议：未来在该领域的工作应侧重于在运动训练课程中实施多元文化议程的各种创造性策略，以及分析这种教育策略的相关益处和结果。
