 MULTICULTURAL
CLASSROOMS

Classrooms with multicultural students are

those where pupils come from a variety of
cultural backgrounds. These classrooms aim to
foster an inclusive atmosphere where students'
cultural diversity is acknowledged, respected,
and celebrated. Classrooms that promote variety
and include concepts, viewpoints, or individuals
from many nations and cultural backgrounds
are known as multicultural classrooms.

LEARNER-CENTERED
TEACHING

Learner-centered teaching is an instructional

approach that prioritizes the needs, interests,
and learning styles of students. It involves
shifting the focus from the teacher as the
primary source of knowledge to actively
engaging students in the learning process.
These methods include: Active learning, in which
students solve problems, answer questions,
formulate questions of their own, discuss,
explain, debate, or brainstorm during class.

MULTI-GRADE CLASS

Multi-grade classes, also known as mixed-age

or combined-grade classes, involve students

from different grade levels being taught

together in the same classroom. Teachers in

multi-grade settings address the varied

developmental levels within a single class.

 ICT INTEGRATION

ICT (Information and Communication

Technology) integration in education involves

incorporating technology tools and resources

into the teaching and learning process. This

integration enhances educational

experiences, supports collaboration, and

prepares students for the digital age.

 BRAIN-BASED
EDUCATION

Brain-based education is an approach to

teaching and learning that aligns

instructional strategies with the principles of

neuroscience. It considers how the brain

functions and learns, aiming to optimize

educational practices to better support

cognitive development.

 MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCES

Multiple intelligences theory, proposed by

Howard Gardner, suggests that intelligence is

not a single, fixed entity but is instead a set of

multiple intelligences or abilities. These

include linguistic, logical-mathematical,

spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic,

interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic

intelligences.

 CHILDREN WITH
SPECIAL NEEDS

Children with special needs refers to

individuals who require additional support

and accommodation due to physical,

intellectual, emotional, or developmental

challenges. Special needs encompass a range

of conditions, and education for these

children often involves personalized

strategies and resources.
