    Episode 4:

    Individual Differences and Learner Interaction


    (Gender, Tribe, Religion)

    This episode gives opportunity to observe how background differences in gender, tribe, and
    religion affect interaction in school, and learn about classroom practices in dealing with diversity
    in the classroom.

    My Target
    At the end of this activity, I will gain competence in determining, understanding and
    accepting the learners’ diverse backgrounds.

    My Map

    The learners’ individual differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect
    the quality of teaching and learning. This episode is about observing and gathering data to find
    out how student diversity affects learning. To reach your target, do the following tasks:

    Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day (beginning of the day, class time, recess,
    etc.)

    Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and social and cultural
    diversity.

    Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom.

    Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices that she uses in
    dealing with diversity in the classroom.

    Step 5. Analyze the impact of individual differences on learners’ interaction.


    My Tools

    Use the activity form provided for you to document your observations.

    An Observation Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics

    Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your
    observation report on the space provided. Then write your observation report on the space
    provided on the next page.
    1. Find out the number of students, Gather data as to their ages, gender, tribes, religious
    and ethnic backgrounds.

    During Class:
    1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students
    interact with one another and with the teacher. Are there groups that interact
    more with the teachers than others?

    2. Observe the Learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do they
    behave and interact differently?

    3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with or
    compete against each other?

    4. Which students participate actively? Which students ask for most help?
    5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher question, do the
    classmates try to help him? Or they do raise their hands so that the teachers will
    call them instead?

    Outside class:
    1. How do the students group themselves outside class? Homogenously, by age? by
    gender? by racial or ethnic groups? Or are the students in mixed social
    groupings? If so, describe the groupings.

    2. Describe how the learners interact with each other. What do they talk about?
    My Analysis

    1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationships and interactions in the
    classroom. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be the leader, a
    mascot/ joker, an attention seeker, a little teacher, a doubter/ pessimist?

    2. Are students from the minority group accepted or rejected by the others? How is this
    shown?

    3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual
    differences of the students?

    4. What factors influence the grouping of learners outside the classroom?


    My Reflection

    1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity
    among the learners and between the teacher and the learners?

    2. In the future, how would you want the learners in your classroom to interact? How will
    you make this happen?

    ethnic or racial background to interact and participate well.
