Negotiating Learner Differences MOOC’s Updates

Religion and culture infused in the education system

The religious beliefs and practices are directly infused into the culture and education system in Thailand, where I work in a private school. This affects me as a Social Studies teacher to encourage liberal thinking, ideas or opinions towards the students. This also hinders me to give research projects expecting them to do it home so I just assign tasks to the students in school by getting them group work. In my view it is not the students who have differences in mind, but we adults who some times have a rigid mentality towards civil liberties and views.
