Topic: Learner’s Diversity
I. Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
a. define what is learners’ diversity.
b. write the implication of having enough knowledge on learners’ diversity; and
c. express the importance of learners’ diversity through essay.
II. Activity
“Guess the Gibberish”
Instruction:
Divide the class into 4 groups.
We will show a set of slides that contains gibberish words, and they will need to guess.
what is the word being stated.
The fastest group to raise their hands will get the chance to answer for at least 5-10 seconds.
The first group to reach 5 points will be the winner.
Words to guess:
1. dive + bersh + city = diversity
2. x + sheep + shoe + null + liti = exceptionality
3. jan + deer = gender
4. end +byron + mint = environment
5. shoe + shoe +aircon + namek = socioeconomic
6. cool + tool = culture
7. thing + king = thinking
8. m + pat + titik
9. mall +thai +grr + aids = multi-grades
10. aby + lit + tees = abilities
III. Analysis
This activity allows the students to activate their prior knowledge and see the connection of these terms
from the topic that will be presented that is all about learners’ diversity. This helps them remember and take
note of the important details of the lesson and apply this knowledge meaningfully in real-world settings.
Some of the keywords and important terminologies can be used to deeply understand the topic as we go
along and later be applied and assessed after the discussion.
IV. Abstract
Module 3: Learners’ Diversity
Introduction:
Diverse Learners include children and students of all abilities from racially, ethnically, culturally, and
linguistically diverse backgrounds. When working and learning with people from a variety of backgrounds
and cultures present in the classroom, students gain a more comprehensive understanding of the subject
matter. It also teaches students how to use their own strengths and points of view to contribute to a diverse
working environment.
Lesson 5: Factors that bring about the pupils’ diversity.
Diversity is about what makes each of us unique and includes our backgrounds, personality, life
experiences and beliefs, all of the things that make us who we are. It isa combination of our differences that
shape our view of the world, our perspective, and our approach. Groundwater et al. (2007) define diversity
“the range of differences that encompass such cultural factors as ethnicity, gender, language, ability, and
special needs” (p.54)
Factors that Bring About the Pupils’ Diversity
1. Socio-economic Status - The millionaire's lifestyle differs from that of the middle income or the lower
income group.
2. Thinking/Learning Style - Some of your learners LEARNED better by seeing something; others by just
listening; and still others by manipulating something.
3. Exceptionalities - In class there may be one who has difficulty in spoken language comprehension or in
seeing, hearing, etc.
4. Gender - In a class, the interest of the girls is somewhat different from the boys.
5.Race/Culture - Is one of the most common factors that bring about diversity in the classroom.
6. Age - Interest of individual learner differs according to the age level or maturity.
Lesson 6: How Pupils’ Diversity Improves the Learning Environment
A teacher maybe “challenged” to handle a class with pupils so diverse.
There may be pupils having:
different cultural background
different learning abilities
different attitudes and behaviors.
How does learning benefit from diversity?
Students can learn about different cultures and backgrounds, allowing them to feel a greater sense of comfort
with these differences. That in turn makes them more comfortable with themselves, leading to a deeper
sense of safety.
Students Become More Empathetic
Promoting awareness and creating a personal connection with diverse cultures in the classroom can prevent
students from developing prejudices later in life. It allows them to empathize with people different from
themselves since they’re more aware of the experiences someone of a different race or cultural group may
face.
Students Gain a Better Understanding of Lessons and People
When working and learning with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures present in the
classroom, students gain a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. It also teaches students
how to use their own strengths and points of view to contribute to a diverse working environment.
Students Become More Open-Minded
Naturally, by exposing students to a diverse range of opinions, thoughts, and cultural backgrounds, you’re
encouraging them to be more open-minded later in life. This will make them open to new ideas and be able
to attain a greater comprehension on a topic by taking in different points of view.
Students Feel More Confident and Safer
Students who learn about different cultures during their education feel more comfortable and safer with
these differences later in life. This allows them to interact in a wider range of social groups and feel more
confident in themselves as well as in their interactions with others.
Students Are Better Prepared for a Diverse Workplace
With the rise of globalization, it’s more important to be able to work with people from different cultures and
social groups. If students are exposed to diversity and learn cultural awareness in the classroom, it sets
them up to flourish in the workforce.
Module 4: Learning Opportunities for Diverse Learners
Lesson 7: Benefits and Learning Opportunities that Pupils Diversity Can Bring
1. Pupil’s self-awareness is enhanced by diversity
Exposing pupils to others with diverse backgrounds and experience also serves to help pupils focus
on the awareness of themselves.
2. Pupils’ diversity contributes to knowledge development
The opportunity to gain access to the perspective peers and to learn from other pupils rather than the
teacher only, maybe especially important for promoting the knowledge development of the learners.
3. Pupils with diversities tend to know their role as responsible members of society.
The classroom becomes a public place where community may be practical.
4.Pupils’ diversity can promote harmony.
When pupils' diversity is integrated into the classroom teaching process, it can be a vehicle for
promoting harmonious race relations.
Integrate learning experiences and activities which promote pupil’s multicultural and cross-cultural
awareness.
Aside from highlighting diversity, identify patterns of unity that surpass group differences.
Communicate high expectations to pupils from all subgroups.
Use varied instructional methods to accommodate pupil’s diversity in learning styles.
Vary the examples that you are going use to illustrate concepts, in order not to provide multiple
conflicts that are relevant to pupils from diverse background.
Adopt to the pupils’ diverse backgrounds and learning styles.
Diverse your methods of assessing and evaluating pupil learning.
