The
provision of contrast in a classroom can only serve to enrich the learning
experience. I love to play the devil’s advocate and I did so in my Early
Childhood class with my adult students.
The situation was enriching and totally rewarding for the students and
me. The students were fully engrossed in
the learning due to the nature of the topic and the nature of the class (that
is, students take a viewpoint and develop it via discussion). It was
interesting that there were no dissenting voices apart from my own. It would have been even more interesting if
there were male students in the class.
Perhaps a co-ed class of school age students might have had a greater
impact because of the diverse views that would most likely emerge.
