Multiculturality and Holistic learning styles: The meeting between the West and East
Jorge Fringe - Universidade Eduardo Mondlane
In search of determinants of academic success, researchers and practitioners are unanimous in pointing student interests, motivation, expectations, and learning styles as crucial factors. We live in a world where globalization and the internationalization of higher education pose challenges to the main players in the teaching and learning process. One of the correlates of internationalization is the growing demand for courses offered in Western countries by citizens of other countries. This phenomenon is increasing that it indicates that part of the GDP of some Western countries count on the industry of the higher education.
The Western world values processes of analysis, logical reasoning, quantification to the detriment of intuition, emotion and group work that are valued by Eastern societies. Since learning is intrinsically linked to the way it is taught, many students have had difficulty adapting and achieving success in their training.
Through this communication it is intended to instigate a reflection around a model of learning styles that being holistic seems to open space for adoption of a teaching type that accommodates learning styles valued in these two worlds seemingly incompatible without prejudice to the quality of teaching. It is the total brain model developed by Ned Herrmann in the United States and has been tested in Asia and Africa (including Mozambique) and presents itself as a challenge to higher education teachers.
