Student Diversity - What it Means to Me? by Carolyn Choo

When I first taught this module, I was literally blown away by the depth of our student diversity. We always know that they are different, but when we put the diversity into quantifiable data, it truly informs our practices in the classroom

When we have a diverse group of students, we must recognize that all the students are unique in their own ways. We should value diversity and provide students with an environment that is conducive for learning.

recognizing that all the students are unique in their own way and we could values the diversity so that we can provide them with the environment that benefits the students.

nurshuhadaabdulbasir — 2020-04-27 05:16:43 UTC

I thought student diversity is referring to the culture differences among the students that would affect the teaching and learning experience. Although recognizing this student diversity is important in order to maximize the effectiveness of teaching and learning experience, we, lecturers should also be aware that we are also the product of a culture, which might as well impact on the way we treat out students.

To teach in a group of students with differences in culture, ability, requirements, needs is a tough challenge to meet each students expectation. Growing and nurture them blending by accepting the student diversity in background, with knowledge and skills, coupled with the disruption in technology are not an easy task to accomplish - it requires a balanced framework among all these values to support such diversity in students life and expectations for the future.

~ Ho Kok Hoe, SCPG

Student diversity means all students is heterogeneity and the have their different way of thinking and the way doing. This happen cause they all come from difference background, cultural, and religion belief.

cclee_segi — 2020-04-27 23:51:38 UTC

My understanding on student diversity means i do recognize that all students in my class are having a unique way of their own.They can be different in many ways. For example the way they do their presentation. Means having different styles of presentation skills. This uniqueness could be due to being diversified by cultural background, personality, religious belief and many more.

My point of view on student diversity means the difference background and culture could shape difference view and way of thinking on certain issues. Understanding the diversity and exploring the similarity on this matter could leads to the better learning and teaching experience. - ikhmal scpg

Student Diversity means that their having different background. By identify their background will produce information that leads to managing style of teaching in the class.

I always belief that no two individuals are alike. Hence, I accept that each students are unique in terms of their thinking and behaviour. Such diversity put a great challenge to lecturers to design the right teaching methods that capable to optimize the students' potential.

khairuddinsyafiza — 2020-04-28 03:47:11 UTC

For me, we need to recognize the students' uniqueness and abilities. It can be different in backgrounds, cultures, religious beliefs, ability to absorb the information, and the ways of life.

shazilazakaria — 2020-04-28 04:04:02 UTC

In my point of view, the diversity of students means that everyone is unique in their ways. Knowing their backgrounds, personalities and how they learn will help us to treat them well in the classroom.

2020-04-28 04:36:28 UTC

In my opinion, the diversity of students embraces the differences that exist within them. Each student in the classroom brings something new and distinct including worldviews, backgrounds, personalities, experiences, cultural contexts and more. Therefore, we need to clearly understand their characteristics, integrate different teaching styles and provide equal access to opportunities. We need to really think about how to make the classroom as inclusive as possible for an excellent teaching and learning experience. - Alif Scpg

Diversity means difference to me, and different is the ONE thing we have in common i believe. What do i love the most in teaching is i can embrace the student diversity as a new challenge every time i am assigned to a subject. That makes me to continue this career because diversity changes over time, you can always expect the unexpected especially over generations. Due to this, teaching is never a routine, at least for me. New group of students, meaning new way of adapting and adopting to feed the needs of the students as well as mine as a facilitator.

kalaivanikalimuthu — 2020-04-28 07:52:52 UTC

Having a diverse group of students means recognizing that all the people are unique in their own way. Their differences could consist of their reading level, understanding level, the way they respond, their cultural background,their personality, religious beliefs and so on. Our understanding on these will help us to understand each and every students better.

masturaothman — 2020-04-28 08:31:11 UTC

In my opinion, student diversity means that having diverse group of students in one class and to teach effectively we should know about their cultural background, abilities and educational achievements in order to disseminate our learning content effectively and to engage them in learning process.

mahalecumy87 — 2020-04-28 09:23:43 UTC

In my opinion, student diversity means there are a wide range of different types of students (ethnic and cultural) and each student has their unique way. As a lecturer, we should teach the students to respect and understand different races and culture.

pheakchoon2dream — 2020-04-28 09:24:36 UTC

gerardboey — 2020-04-28 13:11:30 UTC

Diversity in a student population includes gender, ethnicity, economic background, culture, religious beliefs, prior knowledge, etc. We are all unique in our way, therefore some variations do exist among the student population. Being able to recognise this will enable us as educators to be more sensitive to our student’s needs and this will help us provide the right support so that no student is left behind. Every student deserves our attention.

Students diversity mean there is differences among the students, the differences may come from ethnicity, cultural economic background, gender, learning capabilities, interest, and students attitudes. Recognize the diversity and differences among them is important in order to effectively engage with them in the teaching-learning process.

Inclusiveness!

2020-04-28 14:32:47 UTC

Everyone is unique. Students come from different backgrounds, different cultures, having different communication styles and personalities, etc. They are our country's leaders in the near future. By accepting their differences, we are able to uphold the principle of 'inclusive education'.

Pei-Chin Fong

My understanding on student diversity is treating student as an unique entity that is diverse in term of the learning style, personality and cultural background. We, as an educator, will have to respect student diversity and assist them in their learning pathway.

sqleong — 2020-04-28 14:34:01 UTC

Students diversity means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing their individual differences. These can be in the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.

nurulsabihahalias — 2020-04-28 14:47:05 UTC

NinaSamsudin — 2020-04-28 14:49:27 UTC

In my opinion, diversity means that students’ diverse backgrounds and experiences clearly enhanced conversation and analysis of the role of gender, race and life experience in representation. Diversity also play an essential role in career preparation. Students are entering job markets with diminishing concern for community or national boundaries. Integrated diversity classroom environments are important in helping students learn to collaborate and communicate with the different cultures and backgrounds found in the 21st century work environment.

from my opinion , Having a diverse group of students simply means recognizing that all the people are unique in their own way. Their differences could consist of their reading level, athletic ability, cultural background, personality, religious beliefs, and the list goes on.

shaqirjefri — 2020-04-28 14:50:37 UTC

Students diversity means each students having different character or behavior which guide them into different perspective in their life including in the decision making aspect. The unique personalities may come from different background in terms of gender, age, physical, belief, race and religion. In my opinion, student diversity is an asset because different student will bring different idea and outcome that will create many option in decision making skills. Therefore, we can use students diversity as positive creation and build unity among students with similarities they may have. From here we can create team work in group assignment, presentation, discussion and many more activities.

Student diversity means each students are unique and different. Having a diverse students in class make me realize teaching and learning process are not 1 single universal method. So teaching must effectively address and embrace the realities that come with living and working in a diverse community and country.
~ Sobana Raj, SCPG

Student diversity- an observation we can aware of as externally or internally. Identifying different traits of diversity can be either be identified immediately or some will take time to identified. Age,gender, socio-economic status, level of education, personality, attitude, different learning styles,belief/principle and Individual thinking vs group thinking.

2020-04-28 15:14:00 UTC

In my opinion, students are differ in performance level, learning rate, and learning style.They differ in ethnicity, culture, social class, and home language. They differ in gender. Some have disabilities, and some are gifted or talented in one or more areas. These and other differences can have important implications for instruction, curriculum, and school policies and practices.

sarmila0608 — 2020-04-28 16:51:49 UTC

It mean inclusiveness of unique individuals with varying backgrounds, life experience, goal of learning and life and more.

2020-04-29 01:26:21 UTC

It is a great experience for the teachers as well as student to be able to embrace such variety and differences.

yeeyeang0430 — 2020-04-30 03:00:44 UTC

I think my answer to Ms Carolyn's question in the beginning of yesterday training was deviated.
Well, something about myself that my peers definitely don't know is probably they saw me as workaholic or 'efficient' but actually in real this is all because I'm a LAZY person. >.<
I always want to clear works in hand so that i can earn more free time and a piece of mind. So I'm easily stress up whenever there are works in my to-do-list. Hahahaha....

In my opinion, student diversity is about changing of students' desire and method of studies. Different culture, believe and lifestyle will affect their behavior in study.

I believe the difference in culture and practice shape our unique learning habits. Being an educator, we could recognize that all students will be the same and make them feel safe and confident to learn.

Alamel

In my opinion, student diversity means every student is different and unique in their own way. Their differences not only include their background, belief, personality, attitude but also consist of their understanding ad knowledge levels, abilities and so on. Thus, it is very important that teacher understand this and use variety of teaching methods to promote student leaning.

being aware that each of the students in class would be able to bring something different to the table. And what lecturers teach may impact them in a different way. This is because students may come from various backgrounds, have different believes and principles or experience. If we can uniquely tap into their prior experience and relate it to the learning process, it will be meaningful.

Student diversity refer to the differences in background, culture and belief, which significantly affecting students' learning styles. Educator who recognize student diversity able to varies teaching methods to meet each students' needs, and ensure effective teaching and learning.

Student diversity means unique differences in all students. Education is one of the vital platforms where the society, namely the students, from various backgrounds converge and study for a common goals or purposes for better future, so this is the beauty of student diversity which education sectors shall be committed to uphold without discrimination.

A chorus from a Chinese hit song, 我们不一样 is best to incorporate here to demonstrate educators' acknowledgement of the diversity of students in inclusivity: We are not the same, everyone has a different experience. We are here waiting for you. We are not the same, although going through different things. We all hope that we can meet again in the next life.

Understanding student diversity means we recognize that every human beings are unique in their own way. We have to know that they are different and their differences could consist mainly of their physical, psychological and social aspects of life e.g cultural background, religious belief, intellectual ability etc. Thus, by having a better understanding of these diversities, we, as lecturer could plan & provide effective teaching and learning approaches in order to meet those differences.

Students are diverse in their personality, cultures, ethnicity, experiences, and even their learning styles. When they learn to interact with each other of different race, ethnicity, culture and many other dimensions, it better prepares them for future workplace.

Sim

Student diversity is referring to a group of students come from different background, ethic, age, gender and cultural. For me this concept is very unique. As we are living in multicutural society, we do have challenges in teaching students from different background. But that what makes us unique and we as a lecturer try our best to accommodate the differences by understand them and learn from their perspectives too. Basically, because of this student diversity, we learn from each other.

Knowing that each of the students come from different background and belief, a proper approach should be taken measure especially to deliver an effective learning and teaching.

Education is for all and none should be left behind. Instead looking at the limitation to have one, it is important to look for the opportunity to provide.

-Christine

All humans beings are different. So, students that we encounter and given the privilege to teach are different too. If we can respect and treat each student as a unique and creative individual, the classroom would be a fun place to be and a great place for students and teachers to learn invaluable lessons.

In an increasingly fragmented society, the ability to connect with peers, coworkers and neighbors with diverse backgrounds and abilities is invaluable. Diversity improves critical-thinking skills, builds empathy and encourages students to think differently.

Diversity to me is about adoption to varies knowledge background, sans-discrimination and abilities to comprehend individual differences. As I’m teaching the subject Art History, it’s important to create approaches to multiperspectivity in lessons on topics varying in moral sensitivity and their underlying considerations for addressing subjects’ perspectives in different temporal layers.
