Diversity and inclusion in Education

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Diversity and inclusion in Education
Leerdoelen	The student… - has knowledge of the main concepts and study results in the field of diversity in education - is aware of potential bias in academic studies regarding diversity and inclusion in education - understands processes that create (un)equal opportunities in education, both on individual and institutional level
Omschrijving	The “typical student” does not exist, instead, teachers deal with a group of unique individuals. How should education be designed in order to take into account the needs of a heterogeneous group of students? Cognitive, psychological and physical capabilities, ethnic-cultural background, gender or social-economic status, are all sources of heterogeneity that come with their own set of expectations and stereotypes. The influence of these expectations and stereotypes reaches into the classroom and affect the learning opportunities students experience. This course includes a critical reflection on the understanding of diversity and inclusion in educational settings, the applicability of the largely US-based body of literature to other contexts, and the positioning of students from 'minority groups' due to the way education is organized.
