When teaching adult learners from many different cultures, it’s important to understand that our cultures shape the way we process new knowledge and approach learning and problem solving. One example of this is if learners come from more collectivist or individualist cultures. Have you ever noticed some students immediately start working together on an activity, even when you’ve said to do it alone? Don’t worry, this isn’t cheating, these students might be from a culture that deeply values working on tasks collaboratively. Since our education system is primarily set up for more individual learning, this session will provide several concrete strategies for collaborative learning so that you can tap into all learners’ cultural strengths and joy!
