Correct Answer - Option 3 : Keep him in a normal class but will make special arrangements for teaching him, keeping his special needs in view
Education should be affordable to every child and at the same time, it should be fun so that children can enjoy learning rather than be afraid of it.
-
The behavior and attitude of a teacher is the most important factor that influences the teaching-learning process as he has to conduct all the activities in a classroom and if he does not behave properly then children may lose interest in learning.
Guideline for teachers in the class of children with diverse backgrounds:
- The teacher should create a motivating learning environment that will help the children to indulge actively in classroom activities as they will have an internal force that compels them to acquire new knowledge and skills.
- The teacher should use effective teaching methods, link the new learning with the past by following the child-centered approach while creating a motivating learning environment.
- If a child is admitted to the school who belongs to a backward family/background from the cultural viewpoint i.e., his parents are illiterate, not employed, and none of his family members has ever gone to the school to attain education, etc.
- Then the teacher should keep him in a normal class but will make special arrangements for teaching him, keeping his special needs in view like to help him in learning, to provide him special remedial classes, and to timely interact with their guardians or parents.
- The teacher can inquire about their past experiences in their native region i.e., how they manage to survive there, how they used to spend their day, and what were the sources for their entertainment there, etc.
- The teacher should incorporate students' traditions into writing and language arts activities i.e., to mention the dance forms and the cultural and religious beliefs, they used to follow wholeheartedly in the lessons they learn.
- Also, the teacher can learn some keywords from their language to become aware of the diversity they had in their culture.
Thus, it is clear that the child who belongs to a backward family/background from the cultural viewpoint must be kept in a normal class but special arrangements should be made for teaching him to fulfill his special needs.
