incidents that could go wrong while discussing this topic.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tGet ready for a discussion about a very sensitive topic. Ensure your thorough knowledge of the ethical aspects and conditions of a respectful discussion and the inclusive environment.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tRead the introduction to exercise 3.\u00a0\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tRead Story 3: Description of a teacher\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tAsk the students the questions to elicit their reflections on this topic (see Questions to elicit student reflections).\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tCreate a space for student questions and discussion. You may collect questions that students may ask and write them down on a flipchart to be discussed together.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tSummarizing discussion \u2013 Try to cover all students\u2019 points of view in brief regarding the issue. Then filter through the main arguments in detail and identify key points.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tEvaluation of exercise \u2013 Ask the students to write feedback on the exercise on a piece of paper. As they leave the classroom, they can put their pieces of paper signed or anonymously into the feedback box. Written feedback is part of the system of teacher-student communication (Nicol 2010). Constructive feed\u00acback is an important ele\u00acment of every dis\u00accus\u00acsion in education, and it can provide effective information for learning and teaching. Students can provide feedback to the teacher on the topic. Students can give feedback to the teacher and topic. You can use the questions presented below: What did you like about the exercise? What did you not like? What does the teacher do to help students feel safe and comfortable during this exercise? What improvements the teacher can make?\u00a0 What would they do differently if they were teaching the class? Students can take approximately 10 minutes to write feedback.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\n\t<br>Introduction to Exercise 3<br>\n<\/h4>\n<p>\n\tPicture a culturally diverse class. Think about school success and who a successful student is in terms of grades and in the eyes of peers and teachers. Reflect on the question of whether it is beneficial in school pedagogy if more successful students in terms of grades are mixed with less successful ones.\n<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t<br>Story 3: Description of a teacher<br>\n<\/h4>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\tA teacher does not agree with the opinion that it is beneficial in school pedagogy if more successful students are mixed with less successful ones. The teacher does not believe that less successful pupils learn from their more successful classmates, who might \u201cserve as an elevator\u201d to improve study results for them. The teacher is even worried that it works the other way around. \u201cThe less successful and more roguish have a bad influence on the others\u201d (The citation is based on the author\u2019s research and is taken from the author\u2019s publication). The teacher\u2019s disapproving attitude to mixed-ability classes is projected in his \/ her work with pupils.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>\n\t<br>Questions to elicit student reflections<br>\n<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tDiscuss the pros and cons of such classes. You can divide the class for this task into two groups.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tDiscuss with students what makes a school successful.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tDiscuss the students\u2019 needs (the needs of more successful students and of less successful ones)\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tDefine student success and define the role of the school in the construction of a successful pupil.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tReflect an inclusive learning environment and the context of the challenges of increasing student diversity.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Duration: 45 minutes The goal of this exercise: to enable teachers to explore students\u2019 viewpoints in relation to teaching and learning in culturally diverse classes Teaching methods: \u00a0discussion teamwork\u00a0 individual work critical analysis of the text writing Instructions for the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":240,"featured_media":0,"parent":291,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-297","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/240"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2327,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/297\/revisions\/2327"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
