Multicontextual Teaching and Learning in Postsecondary Classrooms
Moore, Monika
Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, v14 n1 2023
Multicontext theory offers an approach to designing learning experiences and environments that take into account varied ways of thinking and knowing, are relevant inside and outside of the classroom, and can both enrich and encompass the lives of students on and off campus (Chavez & Longerbeam, 2016; Ibarra, 2001, 2005). Educators can leverage multicontext theory by integrating high context features like community wisdom, storytelling as knowledge, and inclusiveness into a traditionally low context system of experts sharing knowledge in a linear fashion to benefit from both approaches (Chavez & Longerbeam, 2016; Weissmann et al., 2019). Examples of possible multicontext approaches are discussed, prompting readers to consider ways they can implement or may already be using multicontext teaching and learning. The classroom as a site of exposure to diversity is one of its fundamental gifts, and to make this more explicit through utilizing multicontext teaching and learning models is to enrich the learning environment, giving students more opportunities to communicate, collaborate, and learn.
