INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND THE LEARNING PROCESS
The main
focus of this episode is on Sameness in Differences and Unity in Diversity. The
scope is Gender and Cultural Diversity in relation with the learner’s
interaction. My task was to observe a class on a regular day and take note of
characteristics of learners in the class, and then interview the resource
teacher about principles and practices he uses in dealing with diversity in the
classroom. From here, i was able to describe how the teacher instills among
children the values and knowledge on individual differences.
Some pupils
may shy away from others because she thinks that she is different. Maybe due to
a physical disability, or maybe because she came from a poor family. There are
instances where girls refuse to perform activities with boys, and vice versa,
to the point that sex rivalry are marked. A smart teacher knows well how to
handle such problems by creating social activities to prevent snobbishness and
prejudices among the class. Group concept is widely used in the teaching
program.
I've learned
that regardless of gender, socio-economic, and religious background, ethnicity
and other diverse capacities, a good teacher is able to create a social
environment where each learner feel that they are treated equally and have as
good a chance to learn and achieve as their other classmates. He involves every
pupil in the class, and shows no sign of favoritism when giving judgement and
making decisions.
