Indeed, an education culture without the human culture embedded in it, is a culture devoid of Democratic institution – An education by the people, for the people and to the people. An education culture that considers the diversity of the students’ background would require a unified integrated learning delivery. For example, I have listened to some students from non English speaking countries complaining that their lecturers assume that everyone in the class is a native English speaker and so they speak so fast during lecturing. Such a learning approach may not be effective if lacking awareness of the mixed cultural presence and multiple identity orientation of the students. Inability to adapt to the diversity of audience in a classroom and tailor teaching strategies accordingly can be problematic for facilitating an effective educational learning outcomes.
In essence, adopting a human culture mindset towards our education design or pedagogies can make the difference for all, not just the minority few, if our educational system will truly accommodate the diversity we preach in our educational system.
Thanks for this insightful yet simplified perspective.
