Learner’s Learning Diversity: Through a Social Justice Lens

  • Unique Paper ID: 184745
  • PageNo: 4587-4595
  • Abstract:
  • Learning is a universal process that happens differently, relying on learners’ socio-economic, cultural, linguistic and perception of ground reality. The diversity of students in the education system added so many challenges to get equitable learning, mostly in mixed-ability classrooms. The provision of inclusive education to ensure the rights of the underprivileged learners, which is nationally and internationally implemented and practiced, however, remains inconsistent. Diversity in education policies and practices exists in various education policies and practices that are set up and run in a good number of countries to shape the standard of the various students. So, this thematic paper examines how diversity among the students is addressed in government schools through the lens of social justice and the theory of equity, as well as critical pedagogy. It explores how educational structures, cultural contexts, and socio-political factors influence teaching practices and learners’ experiences. The paper assumes that a socially just educational system must not only accept diversity, but it can also use it as a source of change as well as empowerment. Results indicate the necessity of systemic changes that go beyond the perception and understanding of diversity as an issue and focus on equitable and inclusive practice to address diverse student needs. This research contributes to current discussions on inclusive education by providing insights into how schools can foster valuable learning experiences within mixed-ability classes
