Socioeconomic status - The millionaires' lifestyle differs from that of the middle income or lower income group. 2. Thinking/ learning style- learn by seeing something, listening, or by manipulating.  Factors that Bring about Student Diversity 3. Exceptionalities- one who has difficulty in spoken language comprehension or in seeing, hearing.  How Student Diversity Enriches the Learning Environment 1. Students' self-awareness is enhanced by diversity - Exposing students to others with diverse backgrounds and experiences also serves to help students focus on their awareness of themselves. 2. Student diversity contributes to cognitive development - The opportunity to gain access to the perspectives of peers and to learn from other students, rather than the instructor only.  How Student Diversity Enriches the Learning Environment 3. Student diversity prepares learners for their role as responsible members of society - Suzanne Morse stresses one competency that has strong implications for instructional strategies that capitalize on diversity: 4. Student diversity can promote harmony. - When student diversity is integrated into the classroom teaching and learning process, it can become a vehicle for promoting harmonious race relations.  Some Tips on Student Diversity 1. Encourage learners to share their personal history and experiences. - Students will be made to realize that they have something in common with the rest. 2. Student diversity contributes to cognitive development - The opportunity to gain access to the perspectives of peers and to learn from other students, rather than the instructor only. 3.

Communicate high expectations to students from all subgroups. - Make a conscious attempt to call on, or draw in students from diverse groups by using effective questioning techniques that reliably elicit student involvement. - Learn the names of your students, especially the foreign names that you may have difficulty pronouncing. 5.

Vary the examples you use to illustrate concepts in order to provide multiple contexts that are relevant to students from diverse backgrounds. - Have students complete personal information cards during the first week of class. - Use ideas, comments and questions that students raise in class. - Ask students to provide their own examples of concepts based on experiences. - Have students apply concepts by placing them in a situation. 7. Adapt to the students' diverse backgrounds and learning styles by allowing them personal choice and decision- making opportunities concerning what they will learn and how they will learn it. a. promotes positive student attitudes toward the subject matter. b. fosters more positive interactions among students. c. results in students working more consistently with lesser teacher intervention. 8. Diversify your methods of assessing and evaluating student learning. - You can accommodate student diversity not only by varying what you do with your teaching, but also by varying what you ask students to do to demonstrate learning. - Students can demonstrate their learning in a variety of performance formats, such as: (a) individually- delivered oral reports (b) panel presentations (c) group projects 9. Purposely, form small-discussion groups of students from diverse backgrounds. You can form groups of students with different learning styles, different cultural backgrounds, etc. - Peer- learning groups may promote this cognitive advancement because: (a) the instructor is removed from center stage (b) students are exposed to the perspectives of other students  Any Question? yes no
