TEACHING IN MULTICULTURALLY HETEROGENEOUS CLASSROOMS: FINDINGS FROM A MODEL PROGRAM
Abstract
Teachers require technical assistance with multicultural classrooms that have a wide academic range and status differences between students. This paper reviews the strategies, theory and research of complex instruction, an approach designed to deal with such heterogeneous classrooms. Special attention is given to the creation of equity in the context of intellectually challenging curricular materials and the use of small problem-solving groups. RÉSUMÉ Les personnes qui enseignent à des classes multiculturelles où les différences de statut et de niveaux entre étudiants sont importantes ont besoin d'un appui d'ordre technique. Cet article passe en revue les stratégies, la théorie et les recherches menées sur l'ensiegnement complexe, méthode élaborée pour l'enseignement dans des classes hétérogènes. La création d'un sentiment d'équité dans un contexte pédagogique intellectuellement très stimulant et le recours à des petits groupes de résolution de problèmes sont également étudiés.Downloads
