Edukacinės aplinkos kūrimo galimybės dirbant su skirtingos kultūros studentais : studentų ir dėstytojų požiūris

LTStraipsnyje aptariamos edukacinės aplinkos kūrimo galimybės dirbant su skirtingos kultūros studentais (remiamasi studentų ir dėstytojų požiūriu). Skirtingos kultūros studentai – atvykstantys studijuoti į Lietuvą iš įvairių kitų šalių. Edukacinės aplinkos kūrimo galimybės siejamos su požiūriu į mokymąsi. Požiūrio į mokymąsi ypatumai padeda suprasti studentų poreikius ir kurti efektyvią, t. y. besimokančiųjų poreikius atitinkančią, edukacinę aplinką. Tyrimo dalyviai – Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto (toliau – LSMU) Odontologijos fakulteto studentai ir dėstytojai.

ENUniversity studies should train future professionals who would be capable of solving global problems and understand them in the context of other sciences, and who would be professionalsgeneralists actively participating and creating, successfully surviving in multicultural communities, and capable of independently changing their professional identity. This mission of a university directly depends on the effectiveness of the educational environments created at the university, i.e. on how these environments meet the students’ concrete learning needs and motivate them for a successful learning activity with the predominant deep approach to learning. The relationship between attitude and satisfaction with learning is a bidirectional one. The attitude determines the level of satisfaction and immersion into the activity. Knowing the attitude helps to understand students’ concrete learning needs and to create an effective educational environment. This is especially relevant when the educational environment involves students with different cultural background – i.e. those studying in their home country and those arriving from other countries.The article strives to answer the questions of how the peculiarities of students’ attitude to learning could be used for the creation of a successful learning environment? What peculiarities of their activity do teachers who create the environment for students with different cultural background identify? The results of the study showed that the peculiarities of the creation of the educational environment for students with different cultural background are related to the teacher’s direct participation in the students’ self-education activity, and his or her understanding of the cultural context and predominant values. The results of the study showed that the peculiarities of the attitude to learning among students of different cultural background allow for identifying the students’ concrete learning needs, and for the creation of a learning environment whose distinctive feature would be the transformation of weaknesses into strengths.
