Abstract
Pakistan is one of the progressing countries in the world. Its education system is yet in the stage of development. Students from towns and far flung areas come to advanced cities for higher education. This has made the university classrooms a mix of students having a diversity of age, gender, exposure, language, and family backgrounds. To facilitate all these students with personal differences under the same roof, a teacher has to adapt curriculum and lesson plans while bringing innovations in his teaching methods. This study aims to find out the use of innovative strategies by the teachers to respond to students’ diversity at higher education level in public and private sector of Pakistan. The research is based on the assumption that innovative teaching has a positive impact on the performance of students’ diversity. A survey of higher education teachers was conducted for the research. Statistics were applied for the analysis. The results are found to be significant in favor of innovative teaching. The analysis shows that the use of innovative teaching is more in private sector and also has different impact on different disciplines.
Highlights
Classrooms nowadays are exemplified by student diversity
The students in universities are diverse in different aspects such as culture, religion, family background, region, and schools where they have been studying
Hypothesis 3: There is no difference in the use of innovative teaching methods in private and public sector
Summary
The students in universities are diverse in different aspects such as culture, religion, family background, region, and schools where they have been studying (this is very important in Pakistani scenario). Due to such diversities, students’ learning needs are becoming increasingly diverse. A new challenge is to look for the teaching ways that can address their needs. To respond to such diverse needs of the students at higher educational levels, different innovative teaching and differentiated strategies and methods are being used by the teachers in their classes. Since the last three decades, innovative teaching methods to deal with the diversity of today’s students are widely being used worldwide (Barakzai, 2004)
