The awareness in diversity and using art as a medium to infuse multicultural arts education in classroom has gained interests globally and it has yet to be implemented in Malaysian schools. This research attempts to develop a suitable Multicultural Pedagogical Module in teaching Visual Arts Education for upper secondary students. This study focuses on the design and development of a Multicultural Textile Interactive Module (McTIM) for visual art education at the secondary school level. The present research utilized the Design and Development method as suggested by Richey and Klein (2007) focusing on the processes of developing a module which is useful in teaching of Visual Arts Education at the upper secondary level. The three phases in this research are Phase one: Need Analysis, Phase two: Design and Development and Phase three: Implementation and Evaluation. However, in this study, researchers only reported on the design and development process. The research findings highlighted the development of the text module, interactive multimedia presentation, lesson plan and teaching aid for VAE teachers. The results from document analysis and a semi-structured interview conducted with visual art education teacher showed that the module has a high potential to become a new pedagogical approach that is responsive to multicultural education while enhancing communication skills between the teacher and students in a diverse classroom setting.
