Instructional styles in culturally diverse classrooms Raquel E. Perez Department of Conflict Analysis and Resolution Nova Southeastern University Estados Unidos Throughout the world classrooms are filled with culturally diverse students who are in the mist of globalization because of this, teachers are faced with a plethora of challenges. The difficulty in instructing present day cultural diverse students is that they are influenced by more than just one culture. This differs greatly from the generations that existed thirty years ago, which were not greatly influenced by globalization, therefore in order to effectively reach a broad array of students we must rethink, revamp, renegotiate the teaching styles within a classroom setting. Today’s instructional styles must be transformed to include teaching styles that will benefit students from high and/or low- context cultures. This study will identify the difficulties of instructing in cultural diverse classrooms, the effects of globalization within the classroom, and finally, I will demonstrate how to negotiate teaching strategies within this environment. About Raquel E. Perez Raquel E. Perez is currently completing her M.S. in Conflict Analysis and Resolution at Nova Southeastern University. Her experience as a care manger and as a teacher has afforded her the opportunity to observe human behavior in numerous settings. Her aspiration is to develop a curriculum that would include strategies that would facilitate the learning process in a culturally diverse classroom. |
