As education involves understandings of who we are, it is not surprising that the single most recognized dictum of educational anthropology is that the field is centrally concerned with cultural transmission.[24] Cultural transmission involves the transfer of a sense of identity between generations, sometimes known as enculturation[25] and also transfer of identity between cultures, sometimes known as acculturation.[26] Accordingly, thus it is also not surprising that educational anthropology has become increasingly focused on ethnic identity and ethnic change.[27][28]
