STUDENT DIVERSITY
Chapters 4, 5, & 6
What is Diversity?
Differences among groups of people and individuals based on ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, exceptionalities, language, religion, sexual orientation, and geographical area. (NCATE, 2008, p. 86)

Classroom Activity
Girls Are . . . Boys Are . . .

What is Gender Bias?
Gender bias is…
Responding differently to male and female students without having sound educational reasons for doing so.
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction.4-6
How Gender Bias Affects Students
Course selection Math and science courses
Career choices Familiarity with and interest in tools of science,
perceived self-efficacy, competence-related expectations communicated by parents and teachers
Class participation “Loss of voice”
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction4-7
Working Toward Gender Equity in the Classroom Use work arrangements and reward systems that
encourage all students to value a subject.
Emphasize concrete, hands-on science, math, and technology activities.
Incorporate math, science, and technology concepts into other subjects.
Talk about the practical, everyday applications of math and science.
Emphasize materials that highlight the achievements and characteristics of women and women’s groups.
Create a reading list that is appealing to boys.

Race & Ethnicity
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction. 5-9
The Effect of Ethnicity on Learning
Five aspects of ethnicity that are potential sources of misunderstanding:
1. Verbal communication patterns
2. Nonverbal communication
3. Time orientation
4. Social values
5. Instructional formats and learning processes (Bennett,
2003)
Unsatisfactory health care.
One-parent family.
Low motivation in school because of lower levels of need for achievement.
Negative classroom environments.
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction. 5-10
SES-Adverse Factors Experienced by Many Low-SES Children
On the basis of such characteristics as race, SES, ethnic background, dress, speech pattern, and test scores, teachers form expectancies about how various students will perform in class.
Those expectancies are subtly communicated to the students in a variety of ways.
Students come to behave in a way that is consistent with what the teacher expects.

Teacher Expectancy (Pygmalion) Effect
Middle-class vs. low-SES students with similar IQ scores and achievement scores.
African-American vs. white students, even when both groups have the same ability.
Teachers’ views of intelligence as a fixed and stable capacity vs. a collection of skills that can be shaped.
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction. 5-12
Factors That Help Create Expectancies
The influenced of negative information about students vs. neutral or positive information on teachers.
High-achieving students receive more praise than low-achieving students.
Attractive children often perceived as brighter, more capable, and more social than unattractive children.
Teachers’ approval of girls’ behavior vs. boys’ behavior.

Factors That Help Create Expectancies

What Traditional Intelligence Tests Measure IQ score
Spearman’s two factor theory of intelligence
General factor
Affected performance on all intellectual tests
Specific factor
Affected performance only on specific intellectual tests
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction.4-15
Limitations of Intelligence Tests Cannot be measured directly.
Intelligence is classroom achievement?
IQ is not an absolute measure. Performances on other tasks or in comparison with other age groups not assessed.
IQ scores can be improved with systematic instruction-capabilities can change with experiences.

Misconceptions of Gardner’s MI Theory
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction.4-21
1. If an individual has strength in one particular intelligence, then he will excel on all tasks in that domain.
2. Ability is destiny.
3. Every child should be taught every subject in eight different ways in order to develop all of the intelligences.

Learning Styles
Reflectivity and Impulsivity
Field-Dependence and Field-Independence
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction.4-23
Reflectivity vs. Impulsivity
Reflectivity
In a problem solving situation, the student prefers to spend more time collecting information and analyzing its relevance to the solution before offering a response.
Impulsivity
In a problem solving situation, the student responds quickly with little collection or analysis of information.
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction.4-24
Field-Dependence vs. Field-Independence
Field-Dependence A person’s perception of and thinking about a task or
problem are strongly influenced by such contextual factors as additional information and other people’s behavior.
Field-Independence A person’s perception of and thinking about a task or
problem are influenced more by the person’s knowledge base than by the presence of additional information or other people’s behavior.

Congressional Definition of Gifted and Talented
“The term gifted and talented children and youth means children and youth who give evidence of high performance capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capability, or in specific academic fields, and who require services or activities not ordinarily provided by the school in order to fully develop such capabilities.” (Title IV-
H.R.A, 1988, pp. 227-228)

What is ability grouping?
Ability grouping is …
Grouping students of similar ability for the purposes of instruction.

.
Types of Ability Groups
Between-class ability grouping Each class is made up of students of similar ability.
Regrouping Students of the same age, ability, and grade but from
different classes come together for instruction in a specific subject.
Joplin plan Regrouping that takes place across grade levels.
Within-class ability grouping Division of a single class into two or three groups for
instruction in specific subjects.
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction
.
6-35
Evaluations of Ability Grouping There is little to no support for between-class
ability grouping.
Research on the effect of regrouping for reading or math is inconclusive.
The Joplin plan yields moderately positive effects compared with instruction in heterogeneous classes.
Within-class grouping in math and science produced modestly positive results compared to other instructional approaches.
EDCI 4322 Human Development and Instruction
6-36
Evaluations of Ability Grouping Students in homogeneously and
heterogeneously grouped classes scored similarly on measures of self-esteem.
Students in high-ability classes had more positive attitudes about school and higher educational aspirations than did students in low-ability classrooms.
Between-class grouping affected the quality of instruction received by students.
