This practice wants us to create a scheme to make sure we understand the different advantages and disadvantages that diversity can bring.
We have learned the various advantages and disadvantages of diversity in a school. Here are some examples: It is obvious that the advantages are more visible as schools organisation progresses. By having those who have an advantage in the same classroom, they can push themselves and progress to be the best they can be.They have the opportunity to socialise and form friendships with people who don’t have a disability. We have also learned that in the classroom they have peer role models academically, socially and in terms of their behavioural skills. They also have greater access to the general curriculum. The end result so far is the social acceptance that they receive. We have also learned that the disadvantages for disabled children was present at a higher level years ago than currently. Originally the concept of disability wasn’t understood as a progressing matter, but as a segregation. As we said earlier, students with special needs were separated in the school from the rest of the ‘normal’ students. This means that they are only able to interact and compete who have the same ability as themselves. We could also find the possibility that the centre won’t adapt and help the children in need but will expect them to adapt to the centre. Finally, we learned that the situation of the separation of these types of children still exists and if, and hopefully when, these are joined as one, they must have the required resources in every school for every child.
For me it was more interesting to learn about the many disadvantages even though it was the hardest part to learn and therefor I need more practice. We based our practice on our own knowledge and what we could see from the power point but I found an author called Andrew Button who states a series of obvious disadvantages that we didn't think of. Here are some of the things he has to say. First of all, he says that there may be a language barrier. Language barriers are generally temporary in nature as the eventually learn the language of the country they move to, but the language segregation can endure. As a result, many governments now require that prospective immigrants learn their country's official language. Another disadvantage is social tension which can occur as a result of cultural and linguistic differences. In Europe tension between the Muslim minority and the largely secular majority is frequently attributed to the incommensurability of Islamic and secular values. The tensions caused by culture are thought to be exacerbated by economic differences, as European Muslim populations are frequently disadvantaged in employment due to a lack of educational opportunities. He also states many more in a very detailed way. Button, A. (s.f.). The disadvantages of cultural diversity. Recuperado de https://www.theclassroom.com/the-disadvantages-of-cultural-diversity-12082787.html The knowledge I can generate is from a website I found when trying to study for my exam. It shows us how important diversity really is. The site I found tells us the following advantages: Structured classroom activities can highlight diversity, mutual respect is part of the equation, no child left behind shines the light on achievement gaps among diverse groups of students many many more. This isn't In the power point, but I do think these things should have been mentioned because I was really entertained when reading this article. How important is diversity? (s.f.).
